Adelaide targeted the ex-Carlton recruit in the 2010 trade week and the move reaped significant rewards last season. After overcoming a pre-season hamstring complaint, Jacobs made his Crows debut in round five and quickly established himself as the Club’s No.1 ruckman, holding his place for the rest of the season. The former rookie added impetus to Adelaide’s midfield and also created a presence around the ground. He ranked fifth in the AFL for hit-outs, averaging 32 per game and with only 36 games of experience has enormous upside.

David Noble: “It's difficult for people outside the Club, or who don't watch us every week like our supporters do to understand the impact Sam had for us. Even in the early part of the year when we had a period where we were up and down as a team, he was so consistent. It's almost like he took on that challenge himself and helped drive the midfield. We're really excited about him. His 'linkage', or work between the backline and the forward line was a real highlight. We know he's got some talent in the ruck, but adding that around-the-ground work was terrific for us.”
