[AuntyBlindEye]

I hope he gets on another list.

It looks like he’s going to end up at the Bummers

Best player at Tullamarine.

 

[Wallaby]

Definitely worth another crack somewhere.

This is tearing me apart!

Good luck Towner

 

[Rimmer]

I am glad for him, he was a key in late 2017 and always gave everthing he had for the club. He is and always will have his premiership medal and be a life member of the Richmond football club. Cheers Jacob.

Loved his tackling, always made the opposition earn the hardball and a very good kick for goal.

All the best Towners

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Amazing what a purple patch can do for one's career, will be forever thankful for that purple patch but outside of that he was meh at AFL level..................

good VFL player though.

one for the road Towna...benda

Can't believe he is with Essendon.



I'll always remember his 2017 season

 

[BF Tiger]

Delisted by Essendon. I’d say that is it for Jacob in the big league after 60 games across 9 seasons. Enjoy your Richmond life membership JT, and memories of 2017.

Hopefully we will bring him and cal Moore back
To play in our reserves team next year

Towner’s end to 2017 including his epic tackle on Crouch in the GF will forever live on in Tiger folklore - always a Richmond man.....

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Imagine being in the opposite team at local level.
Bloke won the 2017 Liston getting 25 a week with a goal or two and slaughtering blokes in tackles.
No thanks!

Bit rough to be let go from Essendon after ONE year which was hub life

New to a club must make hub life a little harder. Would like a club to pick him up as he plays with heart but it is unlikely I guess.

 

[Hank Heavenly]

I love Towna, and he will never be forgotten for 2017...

But teams have worked out he is a very limited AFL footballer...

IMO if he had been playing all 2017, he wouldn't have still been in the team by finals. Coming in so late is what made him effective IMO
It's what happened in 2018, teams had seen 5-6 games, then had an off season to work out how to play against him, and he was done.

 

[Tiger2709]

Tackling coach maybe, only man that tackles harder is The Cotch.

 

[Grin]

A Richmond legend.
His performance late 2017 was remarkable, and won't be forgotten any time soon.

 

[BF Tiger]

Delisted by Essendon Gold Coast. I’d say that is it for Jacob in the big league after 60 62 games across 9 10 seasons (although the article I read said he may be rookied). Enjoy your Richmond life membership JT, and memories of 2017.

EFA

Only played the bare 62 games more than me.
