Jacko has been playing in the Darwin league in our off season, a gig that includes regular and well remunerated work in his chosen field of carpentry. Throw in an offer to play for the NT in the AFLQ and you have a circumstance that would entice most in todays environment. Jacko has de-leagued and Smithy feels beleaguered.
Jacko has made it clear that he will return to the cattery at some stage - his youth and the club mean much to him. We have it on good authority that Dave and Jan and family will continue to haunt Merrimac, and spare a thought for them, as the first born leaves home.
'Twill be an interesting clash in Darwin assuming Jacko is not on 'holiday'.
