Past #7: Jack Ziebell [Part II] - retires post-RFC game/280gm&183gl/6yr captain - Shinboner - assaulted post-RFC game& in hospital - get well soon JZ

[krakouers]

Yze is highly rated as an assistant

Bit of a knife to the guts for Goldy to * and Zebs to Rich but wish him well

 

[bennymate]

Onya Ziebs, all the best.

 

[Roo Beauty]

All the best JZ!

 

[see see]

Good luck Jack. Hope you win as many flags at the Tigers as you did in your time as a North player.

 

[muttley45]

Good luck Jack, reckon you could be senior coach possibility down the track a bit.

 

[chubbspeterson]

He'll learn a lot going somewhere else and who knows, maybe he can bring that knowledge back one day.

 

[gokangas]

Jack signed on with the tiggers as assistant coach.

Jack signed on with the tiggers as assistant coach.

Good on him. Would love him at the club, but this is a better gig than what he had with us.

 

[marklovesbeer]

Yellow & Jack.

 

[ferball]

Good luck Jack. Hope there's some competent coaches there for you to learn off cos Bard wasn't it.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Good for him. I didn't realise he wanted to step into full time coaching so soon, but it makes sense given his broad experience in the game; prelims, spoons, on ball, up forward, down back, club captain, played under a heap of coaches..
He's also a good communicator and understands the game well. I could see him as a head coach one day.

 

[Val Keating]

Do your apprenticeship Jack and come back one day, and please don’t move to a club where your kids can go into their academy.

 

[R00StaR]

Our next coach in the making, see you later on JZ!

 

[My Left Foote]

Best thing a player can do is move to a different club and experience a different environment. Go well Jack.

I generally agree with that, though coaching under the best coach of the AFL would’ve been good too

Great post Rod.

 

[Outtatym]

Could be turn out to be a better coach than player imho. Natural leader and communicator.

 

[Prancer]

He'll be back in the future.

 

[Twinkletoes]

He'll be back in the future.

Mrs Toes, upon hearing the JZ news, reminded me of the chat we had with Simmo at his last Syd where the news broke that he’d be taking up an asst coaching role with Hawthorn.

Ok, he’d had a few by the time we were chatting with him but he made no bones about the fact he felt ill at the thought he’d be donning “the poos and wees (his words)” but he made the point several times that he’d “soak in as much IP as possible so when I return to North we’ll be better equipped for sustained success.”

We know how things have played out since.

Go well anyway Jack and I do hope you can return to the fold sooner rather than later. Ps. Keep the pics of your kids in Tigers gear to yourself if possible!

My takeaway from this is that Simmo will be replacing Clarko at some point in the future.
And then Jack will be replacing Simmo.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I didn't start the thread, but a bit flat that mods were so quick to merge this news in the generic Jack thread on the past players board. Past players board feels like the cemetery; former Roos are situated there, but people rarely go to visit.

[Devington]

Good time to do it too. All the other older blokes have moved on, as have many of the coaches he came through under.

We said that about Simmo, we said that about Horse.

After a while they spend more time coaching at another club than they ever did playing.

Simmo is North though, always will be.
