Re: 2013 Player Profile: Jack Darling

[Cicjose]

2011 average: 67 from 20 games

2012 average: 71 from 22 games



Jack had a great year and expect him to do very well next year but we only saw glimpses of his skill when Josh Kennedy went down with a long term injury in Round 5.

He averaged 58 ppg when Josh was out injured but his average with Josh in the side was 85 that is (27% MORE POINTS on average)

Ranked inside the top 5 at the club for marks, contested marks, goals (number 1), top 10 for frees for, tackles and inside 50's and goal accuracy.

my expected average = 100

[Justin Bieber]

100 average. Hahahaha.

Good write-up, but 100 average is NOT going to happen.

Will you pick him? On that he is your first pikc this year.

[Ricochet]

yeh a 80pt average is probably more realistic for Jack. Even that might be pushing it

[Adamant]

Yeah, 80-85 avg would be more realistic.

[mx187]

I'm thinking more like 70 - 75 avg.

Would be great too see 100 avg.

Maybe in a few years.

[elephants]

Jack will push low 80's imo. A bit too inconsistent atm...

[Jukes]

Don't think he'll ever be as possession/dt whoring to be a great dt'er as some other guns, will stretch to get an 80 average let alone 90-100.

Come back in a few years jack.

[Heppell21]

3rd Year breakout - Definitely on my radar.

[Bluke]

high 80s to 90 average for me if Kennedy is fit any playing.

[Windigo]

Won't be getting him next year, will lift average but I don't think he will be tearing games to shreds with a 100 point average.  :o

If we didn't have so many midpricers in the forward line I would definitely consider, I think he'll average at least 80 next year. But since Gray, Lecca etc are cheaper no for me.

plus we don't know how lecca will affect jack's role... much like Ball coming back for the pies and how will it affect Beams and Sidey
Personally i think Lecca coming back will be positive for jack. It might take the focus off him a bit more

[Torpedo10]

He could breakout but if he does most I could see him going to is 85 if that.

[Spinking]

100 average is a big stretch. I'd be surprised if he averages 80, which isn't that impressive at that price.  Won't be starting with him, but if he starts pumping out big scores I'll get on.

[Hagebear]

He's a good player but will NEVER average 100. Might get close in SC but still doubtful.
