AFL Rd 2 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

[LoveNavy]

I said before he seems a bit out of sorts, but that's only speculation on my part.
He may have a bit on his mind. His dad copped a hammering in the press last week. It's hard for a son to ignore that criticism especially when his 100th game was at the core of the issue.

So it boils down to this.
If we play two rucks, and we probably should (Pittonet ,especially needs game time), it's not TDK or Pitto that Jack's competing with...it's other players.
Was he injured on Thursday?
The match report suggests not.
If not,then it was decided that he offered the least in value at that point of the game, with that opposition.
With others pushing for selection that puts him in the danger zone.
If not Jack, then who goes out?
We may not make any changes.
There may be a specific role for Jack against GWS.
Selection this week will be interesting.

I agree about Jack. He's seemed a bit down. He wears his heart on his sleeve and appears a bit ..... hurt, for want of a better word.

Maybe he's burdened emotionally, or is carrying an injury. I think he's out of contract this year. He recently got engaged. Competition for spots is heating up, and his dad is back in the recruitment game! That's a fair bit going on. I hope Jack finds his place and his mojo.
