Player Watch Pick #55 (2021) - Hugh Jackson

[RangaInTeal]

Played really well in the 3rd quarter, other than the 4 x 25m penalties, and was key part of setting up 3 of our 4 goals in the 3rd quarter with the wind, and did a few good things in the last quarter. I missed the first quarter and a bit of the 2nd and only really noticed him a couple of times in the 2nd quarter.

Is a footballer, in the Roger James mould.

Just wish he worked on the Orchard like Roger, and had his bulk and strength.

In my opinion Jackson is close to (if not the) most highly skilled fringe player on the Power list.

Over the years we have had a number of AFL regulars returning from injury who couldn't get anywhere near the ball at sanfl level, yet after not playing a game for something like 9 months he has come in, found the footy straight away and had a positive effect on the result for a team that before his inclusion was struggling to beat time on a drum.

Sure he needs to bulk up to get to the next level, and I doubt we would be silly enough to cut him, but if we do I could see the tingles pouncing immediately.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Has a bit of mongrel too.

 

[backtozero]

Bring on the huge action.

 

[all seeing eye]

Lots of AFL traits, fingers crossed he can stay sound., still optimistic he will make it.

 

[PowerLil]

One of my favourites is Hugh.

I definitely have a soft spot for Hugh and I hope he gets his chance soon.
