The best half of footy I have ever played - Kieren Jack

[scolsey22]

Could probably win our B&F this year me thinks.

Garry Jack-sometime NRL player and proud father to Swans great Kieren Jack...

Wouldn't phase Garry at all. He comes to the odd Club Champion dinners, sits down and chats but never ever looms large. Tries to melt into the background, which is a little difficult considering his size. He could be very happy to be Garry Jack, father of Keiran Jack i suspect.

"Kieren is notable for being the son of former Balmain Tigers rugby league star Garry Jack".

Kieren is fast making his own history. Hopefully soon the media will drop the reference to his dad and give him the credit for playing a different game with a different skill set.
He is fearless at the contest because he works hard not because his Dad was a champion.

Ablett and Silvagni have the same constant references. Time to move on and come up with a new comment ... tough ask for most of the commentators who can't even get the names right most of the time.

His Dad was a pretty good player in what was a golden era for boofhead ball. I also think that there are elements of League in his game - the tackle against North a few weeks ago, for example.

I think Ablett has emerged from his Dad's shadow. A Brownlow for Jack at some stage in the future (not out of the question) would do the same for him.

Clearly, he is the type of player that keeps our lovely lineage of guts and inspiration going - Kelly/Matthews/Kirk/Jack
