IIRC, Scott Lucas opined that he relies on footy smarts to find free space. In other words, he's like Lance Whitnall without the weight rather than a Levi Casboult. His leading patterns will therefore be a bit more convoluted and it'll take his team mates a while to adjust. He's only 191 cm and AFAIK isn't a huge leaper, so we wouldn't want to see him attempting too many pack marks. With his genes and the coaching his old man has given him, he should be a brilliant one-on-one mark when he puts on weight.
Gutted for Ciaran Byrne. His impact as a rebounding defender has been immense. If he does have to have a traditional reco, I hope homesickness won't become irresistible.
If Jack can turn into a player as effective as Lance Whitnall, i'll take that every day of the week. I doubt he'll be plagued by the same kind of problems as lance, knee/weight issues. In this modern age, finding a footballer who can use his brain to get the ball is somewhat rare.
