His third quarter was good and he stopped one forward thrust in the last quarter. He also took a nice mark on the defensive side of the centre square.
Phillips was more effective when he played as a key forward and Jones was far and away the best key forward on the ground.
Some supporters look too much at highlights or goals kicked rather than four quarter efforts. To me, Jaksch comes in when he puts in quality four quarter efforts. The same applies to SOJ.
Even so, we get very picky with Jaksch. He's had games of 3,3, 4 and 4, then other games has played good footy in defence. That's more than just highlights. If he's doing that on a regular basis then I'd prefer him in the seniors. I saw the game here against Geelong, where he kicked 3 and took some outstanding contested marks, I couldn't work out why he isn't in the side then. Much prefer him in the side playing as a key forward rather than picking a second ruckman, which tends upset Kreuzer's game
