He has decent hands and can take a clean one-grab mark; he just struggles against any serious defensive pressure. He is also a pretty good kick for goal.
Everyone says big guys take longer and he is a few years younger than Jones so, although I am a long way from being a fan, I wouldn't mind if we kept him on the list for another season.
Thing with Jaksch is he doesn't have the same upside that Jones has/had.
He is shorter, less agile, slower and appears to have less of a tank.
I'd prefer to keep Gorringe than Jaksch for the same reasons.
