Anyone ?

What was this kid like when he was at Woodville ? Cannot remember too much about him,
but there is a push from the Carlton faithful to see him elevated off the rookie list and to get
a game.

His form in the VFL has been pretty good by all reports...

Anybody got any reviews on him ?

He would be a good back up for Dabrowski right now. Lee has been in the Reserves for all but one match since he came over at the start of last year, and Roberts has taken over Henry's position from last year. But I think Jacobs would have definitely been Dabrowski's understudy at the moment.

13 games, for 4 goals and 1 behind. Only 89 hit outs in that time, but of course he was mainly Lindsay's replacement. Was dropped after the 2nd Semi in 2006 in favour for Dabrowski. And yes, for all you watchers of people with fair hair, he is another quality Eagles product of that variety. ;)

When he was playing juniors for the Eagles, he played pretty good, won a few of his own boot when he went forward.

He kicked one of the best checkside goals I have ever seen against Centrals two's at Adelaide oval, just before he played in the seniors.
Was a shame he went to Carlton.
