Jackson Ferguson

Jackson Ferguson, is he good enough to be promoted at the end of this season? Or will go the way of all our other NSW Scholarship players?

Extremely good signs from him so far, both early last year and in recent weeks. Looks like a slightly taller version of Sam Gilbert (looked an inch or two taller, in the team photo), but hopefully without the very inconsistent kicking. Apparently he's been playing on "smalls" a lot in the VFL this year, so hopefully he'll get good at playing on both, especially those around his height.

His kicking is ok. I think you will find Fergo can play kep position where as Sam cant. But Sam can play on smaller guys. Not sure Fergo can.

Plugger, you seem to know a bit about him from previous posts. Is he a chance to make it?

I reckon he is just about a certainty. He has great speed and backs himself. That is a positive but can sometimes be a negative as he does run off his man quite often. His kicking isnt as good as some but it isnt Sam Gilbert or CJ bad.

If he continues to improve throughout the season I can see him being promoted at years end and playing a few senior games next year. I would like to see him live up to his potential and be a permanent member of our best 22 by 2014.

showing seriously good signs and still only 19.....

and tall defenders dont grow on trees (ask the hawks, blues etc).... so id say hes a very strong shot to come through.

That's good to hear..Cheers.

Not that I've seen a lot of him, but someone who comes to mind when I think about him is Jonathan Hay, who was similarly built and sized, from memory and was quick and athletic.

Hopefully the Hawks version and not the Roos version.

Indeed!
