He reminds me of G Ablett senior, I don't know why.

Evil eyes (but well spoken...)

Is he officially our cult figure now?
That incident was also one of the highlights of the match for me.

Great thread Burnsy17 - JA has one of the key ingredients we have lacked since the Craig The Dental Surgeon Kelly retired: team-oriented mongrel.

Craig Kelly mongrel with the set shot of Blake Caracella :shock:

He reminds me so much of an 80's footballer.... I love that!!!

He looks like he hates all the opposition players out there...

We need one or 2 more on the angry pills like Jack!
I'd go back even further. I told someone during the Adelaide game that JA would have fitted right into our Machine in the late 1920s. He looks like an old time footballer.

He reminds me of Darren Millane in some ways.
A lot of aggression in his running, putting a step on his opponent and rampaging his way towards goal. Love him.
Oh and he can kick straight too!

It's gonna be hard telling him to go back into defence now..

The only thing now is for him to get more of the ball - provided our midfield can hit their bloody targets!

Why would we put him anywhere but forward he has lifted our biggest weakness set shot kicking. T. Cloke could learn a lot from JA.

Easily the best kick for goal going around at our club, not bad for a defender! The guys passion cannot be questioned, his commitment cannot be questioned, and his skills cannot be questioned! Ladies and gentlemen, we have an absolute beauty on our hands!

I guess its because he was recruited as a defender. I don't really know what direction the club will take on him - similar with Brown (a forward).

Presti was recruited as a forward. Unless he's an AA-level defender (Which he may well be, for all we know), you don't exactly need to have inside knowledge to presume that he'll be in the forward line for a fair while yet.
