Daniel JACKSON

2014 Digest:   A surprise winner of the 2013 Jack Dyer Medal. Progressed from a fringe player to one of the most valued members of the line-up due to his ability to take on big tasks and do the little things for his teammates. Kicking remains a question mark under pressure, but you cannot fault his effort and work-rate. Missed the Melbourne game due to groin soreness.

2014 NAB Cup:   Still a week away after a hamstring problem over summer.

2	PM	Good return from injury in midfield.	–
3	WB	Hard-working third quarter in comeback, but disposal efficiency well down.	5

5	Bris	Prolific ball-winner and kept going all night.	7
6	Haw	Started in middle on Burgoyne and was good in his 150th game.	6
7	Geel	Went to Johnson after quarter time and won that battle. Key part of the comeback	7
9	Melb	One of the best with 30 touches and a goal. In everything.	8
10	GWS	Subbed out early with groin soreness.	1
11	Ess	Competed hard and one of few Tigers to stand up early before fading.	6

13		Hip.
14		Hip.
15	VFL	Good early on return but drifted out of the game in second half.	–

2013 Season

Played for : Richmond

1	Carl	Rotated half forward/midfield and OK. Big numbers but kicking still a worry.	7
2	StK	Went with Hayes at times. Battled but he lacks polish to hurt opponent.	4
3	WB	Spent time on Cooney and battled hard. A brave competitor.	6
4	Coll	Gave very little. His disposal and decision making not up to scratch in big games.	3
5	Frem	Might be time for a stint in the VFL. Made more mistakes than Joan Collins.	3
6	Geel	Ran with Selwood at times and worked hard despite shortcomings.	5
7	Port	Got the ball inside 50 on five occasions playing on the wing.	6
8	Melb	Got a lot of footy and handy but again ran at below 65% efficiency.	5
9	Ess	Probably the Tigers’ best and never stopped trying.	7
10	WCE	Shadowed Gaff/Masten and did a good job. Kicked a long freak bouncing goal.	7
12	Adel	Shadowed Dangerfield and while beaten he kept offering something offensively.	6
13	WB	Can be scrubby at times by foot but stuck to his task strongly. Kicked a freak goal late.	6
14	StK	Strove very hard around the field.	6
15	NM	Started on Swallow but hampered by an early ankle issue. Tried hard in losing cause.	5
16	GCS	Huge task on Ablett and did it very well. Hurt the champ with two goals.	7
17	Frem	Spent time on Mundy and Fyfe and did a decent job while winning his own ball.	6
18	Syd	Tagged O’Keefe and although shaded, did well.	6
19	Haw	Two goals in final term to help kill off the Hawks. Six clearances.	6
20	Bris	A relentless work-rate meant he was unstoppable and crisp foot skills.	9
21	Carl	Battled hard and laid a game high eight tackles.	7
22	GWS	Kept Ward relatively quiet and found the ball well himself.	7
23	Ess	Got the better of Zaharakis and continued his fine season with another two goals.	7
EF	Carl	Went to Murphy then to Judd as coach tried to plug holes. Never stopped trying.	6

2012 Season

Played for : Richmond

1	Carl	Gave usual wholehearted effort. Shown up for pace a couple of times.	6
2	Coll	Went to Shaw with a brief to negate his run. Succeeded fairly well.	5
3	Melb	Still prone to make the odd mistake but still played a part – 21 disposals.	6
4	Geel	Toiled away in the midfield for 14 disposals and a goal. Just.	5
5	WCE	Battles hard but lacks any creativity in his game. Why didn’t he tag Kerr?	4
7	Syd	Quiet game and committed some bad turnovers.	4
8	Ess	Given key run with role on Stanton. Not much impact until late in game.	5
9	Haw	You know things are going well when he’s kicking freak goals. Played a part.	5
10	StK	At various stages had negating forward role on Gram and Goddard.	4
11	Frem	Defensive on McPhee early then released into midfield and tried hard.	5
12	GWS	Kicked one handy goal but disposal again well below where it has to be.	5
14	Adel	Run with roles on Knights and Porplyzia and won his own footy.	7
17	NM	Ok (7 inside-50s) but only two contested possessions and one clearance.	5
18	Carl	Good start, but hurt in second quarter and subbed off in third.	6
19	Bris	Solid output from the experienced utility. Showed his versatility.	6
20	WB	OK at times but hardly a starring role. Why does he always go sideways?	4
21	Frem	Didn’t use the ball well.	4
22	Ess	Started in attack and did his bit.	5
23	Port	Won some footy but he isn't the bloke you want winning it. Can’t kick.	4
