How Jacobs finished the season
An injury to Andrew Swallow opened up a midfield spot in the last six weeks of the season and Jacobs was the beneficiary.
If there was one knock on Jacobs when he arrived at Aegis Park, it was on his disposal. However he significantly improved his disposal efficiency when compared to his two years at Port Adelaide.
In 2012 the left footer's efficiency was at 65.4 per cent but it improved to 77.6 in his first year at North.
