Hey Mr Craig, I dont know how much info you can give me, but I've heard one of the Year 12's at my school and cricketing mate Liam Jacka is a chance to be drafted? The BF nuts have him going 4th round or a rookie selection. Do you have any info on his scoring potential at all?

EDIT: al I know is that he won the Maccas Cup MVP award :P

I can't say he's been on my radar but the name does ring a bell.

I'm too tired to compile his stats tonight. I've got a few things to do tomorrow but hopefully I'll get to it then.

;D this kids a gun to  :-X best not say anymore

His stats speak for themselves at both TAC and VFL level. His problem is his aerobic capacity and running. He'll have to work on that before getting regular games for an AFL club you'd think. That might be the danger of taking him early in an XVs draft... or even the AFL draft.

cant be that bad looking at his stats can it?
Remember though mate, AFL level is a lot different from VFL and especially TAC Cup.

Problem is, despite his aerobic problems (if they actually do exist), he still pumps out huge possession games! So surely he can only get better!

Yeah, I guess it's excusable and almost cancels the problem out. And, with time, that'll be fixed. He's probably one of the guys that could really land anywhere.

Natural aerobic ability doesn't mean much, a couple pre seasons and everyone is on thr same level. Ball finding/winning is much harder to teach.

thoughts on him Mr C ?

Yeah, I just read that. Had a look at some of his stats in the back end of the season and they were pretty handy. If the right team picks him up he could definitely be an option.
