Rd 13: Pre Game posturing: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[mateinone]

I agree there PP.
Jack is going OK and will play a lot of footy for us in the coming years, but JK he isn't.

I think it is missing the point of the original comparison.
Both were young players (Jack 3 months younger) coming into AFL playing 2nd forward in a team not doing so great.
I was huge wraps for JK whilst he was here (and he had a lot of detractors), yet at the same stage Jack is doing better than JK was, without a doubt at all.
Now JK has the advantage that he likely was going to fill out more so was perhaps less into his development, but my main point was to show there was nothing really to worry about with Jack, he is coming along nicely and (imo) ahead of the curve.

I wasn't saying that he will be a better player than JK when I put the post up, and I certainly was not saying Jack is anywhere near JK at present however... (in a different role) I actually think he might end up having a better career than JK does.

Though that is just based on watching the two play their early careers.

Geez that is a long way off who plays against Gold Coast tonight  ;D
