I was wrong about Jack Steven

[ShanghaiSaint]

A couple of weeks ago, after the Sydney game, I said that Jackie was one of the worst players that I had ever seen play for the Saints. Well, I was wrong. He is without doubt THE worst. At least Jarryn Geary took a good mark before he kicked it straight to three Collingwood players. At least Sam Gilbert had a little bit of pace before he simply stopped running, or even walking, in the last five minutes and let his opponent run all the way into their forward line. But Jackie set new depths tonight - bouncing the ball into his knee being just one of his gems. If you watch the last quarter of the 1991 GF you will see why our coach likes him.

very wrong.... guy has played some decent footy... tonight was a shocker though. just remember what he did that night roo went done playing the pies.

Dud

Unbelievable!

[The Fireman]

can any one supporter be as wrong as Perfectionist is about one of our players or do we have more like him in the StKilda ranks? If so does that put us in the ranks of Collingwood and Carlton supporters in having a poor grasp on the game ?
Bloody well hope not, I hope this guy is a one of.

[Trev from the Bush]

No, nobody can be that wrong, just blind, biased or just plain stupid. Matter of fact, could be all of these. Just another old-time Saint supporter missing the good ol' days of back-to-back wooden spoons.

He's a dud.

[magnifisaint]

He's a dud.

You're still very wrong

[plugger66]

He's a dud.

You are a person who lacks footy knowledge. I cant think of another reason for you to express something so silly.

Agree totally moronic comment and you call yourself perfectionist ...?

[saintsfreak]

What a moron

[gringo]

My kid wears his number now, he'd better be a gun or I'm down $80. Seriously, he was better than plenty today including Monty who managed to look slow for 3 quarters and seemed to turn everything over. Dal was hardly on fire either.

[Old Mate]

Steven had a ripper start to the season and then dropped a bit off. He looked like he was carrying an injury or possibly the long season had the better of his young body.

[sainter45]

Didn't Jack kick two goals in the last quarter yesterday when we needed them, both just inside the 50 metre line.

Monty tagged Murphy & gave him a bath.

Jack is a beauty, has tailed off after the mid year suspension but has improved overall this season.

[spert]

Steven just needs to learn about four quarter footy as a midfielder- drifts out of the game a bit too easy, but the talent is there, though hard work ethic needs to be drummed into him over summer.

Are you the full ticket? So what your saying is of ALL the players on our list over all the years you have been following this club Jack Steven is the worst of all?

Sorry but all your doing is making a fool of yourself.

[JackieSed]

He's a dud.

You are the dud he is a very good player just has to work on his kicking.

[Con Gorozidis]

IMHO Jack is (almost) a gun. He was in the top 2 or 3 in the B & F at mid-season.

But he did fade a little in the 2nd half - pretty much since his driving incident now I think about it.

So next year will be a mini-crossroads for him. He will either go on and become a genuine gun. Or be a little bit of a Clint Jones style battler for the next 5 years with a drinking problem and a reputation for the good life.

Jacks choice.

Perfectionist has a few issues relating to the fact his footy hero let him down by doing something bad. It's hard having tarnished role models but he'll get over it one day. I usually buy my kids a lolly or distract them with a bit of telly until they calm down and eventually the tantrums stop. They say they "hate" things they actually like too when they get cranky, sometimes early bedtime can help.

Ha! Not quite. Anyway, another season gone, and another flag lost. At least, it was one that we never expected to win. So often the way. But, there's always next year. See you then. Go Saints!

And of course in Perfectionist's delusional world it was all Jack's fault!

Good stat jimmy. Jack's explosive pace and ability to win clearances makes him a valuable asset. He also loves to kick a sausage and he showed us even in his first match with his AFL debut in Launceston that he can finish.

Opposition defenders make errors and they can't help their teammates to go 2 against one if the ball gets inside 50 quickly. Jack's frenetic and manic ball movement may not be pretty at times, but he continually creates opportunities for our forwards. I would have loved to have seen Jack play in the 2009 GF

[BigMart]

Makes some terrible decisions and is poor by foot...

Is a good breakaway clearance player, and finds the ball.......provides run and carry.

He needs to find composure and not try to do too much....

[The Fireman]

Bump...
