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
I have high hopes for Jaksch, and I think that the club has too. Key position players who can play at both ends are worth their weight in gold. While Jaksch ended up with four goals, they weren't the result of consistent effort. Jones was a far more threatening and consistent key forward and Jaksch was one of the beneficiaries of Jones' work. Phillips was also better value when he played as a key forward.
