Re: The boy from Lorne
I see Dangerfield being in the top 5-10 midfielders in a couple of years, not sure if Jack can get that high, would love to be wrong, I have been plenty, actually a lot.

"Look at the boy from the Ocean Road"
BT is the seagull of the commentary world. Annoys us but people keep feeding him. Even the thought of listening to him for two hours is a good enough motivator to get up and go to the game to watch.
Unless he's going to start announcing Roo is now the boy from Tassie and Fish is the boy from Adelaide etc...shut up about it. Surely he is now the boy from Seaford, Mordialloc or Brighton!!!

Re: The boy from Lorne
Armo is another worthy comparison to Swan. At the age Judd won his first Brownlow, Swan was a useful HBF'er who not many people knew the name of.Old Mate wrote:If Jack keeps improving then I think that's the next step for him. Right now he's getting around the 20-25 disposals....I think he'll be consistently getting 30 touches plus next year. He's still only 22. An interesting comparison might be D Swan at the same age.....It's all about building a tank over a number of pre-seasons.dragit wrote:Jack's coming along well, though I don't think he'll get to a Dangerfield level… We can live in hope though!Old Mate wrote:I reckon he's a season away from being elite....About where Dangerfield was last year before he went absolutely nuts this season.
22 and 23 in still very young. Expect these two to only excel in the next year or two.

Re: The boy from Lorne
Since he got to the club people were saying he is the next R. Harvey. Not a bad comparison for a young player, but it's meant that the expectation for me has been higher than most young guys. He dominated as a small forward early on and looked special there, sometimes an injury comes as a blessing in disguise. Lenny being out fast tracked Jack's development in a year from hell that even with out Lenny going down would have probably ended badly. Lenny is revitalised, Jack is close to an elite mid.
His kicking to me isn't bad it's more his disposal at speed or under pressure that can get a bit messy. He should get that together with experience and has the potential to be an amazing player. He is surprisingly quick, elusive and determined if he can improve 10% to 15% consistently he will be an elite midfielder.

I was a huge wrap for him but not once Have I or I beleive anyone else say he is the next Robert Harvey. He is the first jack but will never be a Robert Harvey and as far as I know has never been mentioned in the same breath until now.

It's weird that anyone would choose this photo to represent themselves:Dr Spaceman wrote:
BT: "OK show me the slides!"
Photographer: "Here you go."
BT: "Hmmm, too intelligent...next...yeah, I look there like someone who understands things about the game.. next...nope, too bloody sane...these are all normal, did you get anything that makes me look like a sub-human ape that is struggling to understand what someone is saying to me?
Photographer: "How about this one?"
BT: "Perfect!"
Either that or the other shots made him look even more stupid. In a way it's difficult to imagine, but this is BT we're talking about.
Reminds me of this guy:

Re: The boy from Lorne
It was the early call coming out of the club and was repeated by Montagna as the one to watch at the start of 09 I think it was. The club was talking him up with the Robert Harvey comparison, not my word grumps. If I wanted to make a pathetic old curmudgeon look silly i might bother to try to find some evidence to show you or I could not give a f%$# about you.plugger66 wrote:gringo wrote:Since he got to the club people were saying he is the next R.

Blame the club and Leigh Montagna, I'm just relaying a story the club was happy to promote. The fact that you try to antagonise everyone for your own enjoyment makes you an aggravating old prick who i wish i was mature enough to ignore.

He still is telling anyone that will listen Carlton can still make a comeback against the Saints...he's telling you Darce, he's sensing something special here...Dr Spaceman wrote:You obviously don't listen to this blokeelizabethr wrote:What pray tell is the significance of Lorne?
The game finished two weeks ago Bristle...
Seriously, just like Wallsy, I'd rather watch a video of a monkey on a pushbike than listen to this flog...
You can listen to Bristle tell you Carlton are still a massive chance at 28 points down with two minutes to go, you can listen to him tell you all about Lorne, or you can watch a monkey on a pushbike...I know which I prefer...

it is a bit of a puzzle really - I think someone mentioned Kennett River.bergholt wrote:on that note, does anyone know what town jack steven came from originally? i've been trying to find out but no-one seems to know.gringo wrote:Blame the club and Leigh Montagna, I'm just relaying a story the club was happy to promote.

As far as comarisions with one R Harvey - pfft. There will never be anothe R Harvey.
The boy from Anglesea (or was it Appollo Bay) is more like N Burke in running style attack on the ball and number. Better kick though.

Yeah and it was the 80s, lot of popular bands around, Duran Duran, Human League, Bananarama...
Some people were big fans of the Cars I believe

Apparently his favourite chorus from his favourite Cars song - Drive
CHORUS:
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight.
Apparently was big in cars with electric windows and 8 tracks

Re: The boy from Lorne
The only Harvey.....Steven comparison I can recall was from the great man himself "Harves".... and it didn't relate to his footballing similarities.
Harvey was being interviewed in his last season with the Saints. Harves commented on how he realised how long his career had been when he used to see Jack Steven come to training in his school uniform and put it in his locker. It reminded Harves of when he was first starting out at the Saints and he used to be the only player at that time coming to training in a school uniform...... just as young Jack Steven was.
Maybe that's how the comparison with Harves came about.................... just a thought!!
