Just a few more SJ highlights...
That is SJ in one paragraphI was just in that pocket behind him (where he also snapped the goal from). He dropped an absolute pud (degree of difficulty: 1.0) and then a second later almost kicked the most ridiculous goal off the ground (degree of difficulity: 9.9).
I think that's under-rating him.That is SJ in one paragraph
agreed Bobby, but he has so much 'touch' with his footskills from up to 45m that it almost doesn't matter.
love both him and Bartel from a set-shot *anywhere* within 50 (Bartel can obviously dob them from outside 50, too, but he is such a neat kick also) ..

And two of my most favourite SJ moments involve the way his brain works under pressure.
I can think of the Richmond off the ground goal, the snap from the pocket in the State of Origin showcase match, him cleaning up James Hird in 2005 EF and a torp for his 6th v Brisbane (early days, his first bag of 6 if I recall) when we were dead ordinary. Anyone got these handy?

We played Melbourne in the 2005 Elimination Final. He did clean up someone (legitimately and fairly) with a shirtfront though, can't recall who it was off hand.
definitely cleaned up Hird at one point too, wish I could remember which match it was - again, a good, fair shirtfront ..
We played Essendon a year before in the 2004 Semi Final if that may be it?
not sure - could've been the 2005 h&a game ... my memory is shot!
can still picture the hit though.
Aye that's right, it was the 2004 final v Essendon.We played Melbourne in the 2005 Elimination Final. He did clean up someone (legitimately and fairly) with a shirtfront though, can't recall who it was off hand.
Channel was terminated due to copyright strikes. Real shame because he had lots of vids up and as far as I know didn't make any money off it. Bit strange though considering some channels upload full matches or just similar content to him and are still around.This reminds me. Does snyone know where Darjoe's goals vids have gone.
Not sure if just for me in UK or they have gone completely.

Hopefully he does make another channel in the offseason and re-uploads some videos, but I'm fairly certain it's his 2nd account to be terminated as well, so might just be too much effort to do it again.
Gosh, that is fantastic. How good was he, almost underestimated and yet so critical in big games and small ones. Just loved him. The opposition never quite knew what he was going to do, neither did he for that matter. Fancy being coached by him.This makes me very happy. Can't remember the last time I smiled for 15 minutes straight like that.
What a player. So unlikely looking yet so brilliantly creative and skilled.
