i mean seriously the kid had a great game last considering how many he has played and it was away from home, something i would doubt that some of the other "senior" players due to come back this week would have produced. If he gets dropped this week i question the intelligence of the selection people.
Now they feel pressure to put in the old boys due to the tanking talk i feel he almost certainly will loose his spot.
I don't think Mcnamara is going to get drop. It will depend on match-ups, I guess.
I would think that Masten, Davis or Houlihan might be rested before Jamie gets drop.
Houlihans time to rest for Kerrs inclusion, imo.
But who will Braun and Fletcher come in for, if they indeed come in at all?

I heard something on the radio that kerr,braun and fletcher are nearly all certain starters. But sometimes you can't trust the radio.
Yeash, I heard Whoosha say they would be "Available", not certain starters.
They'll play I reckon.

I agree completely BM i thought Macnamara was our best Midfielder last week. I rate him very highly and thought this would be his breakthrough year, so im hoping he can cement a spot in the side with a good consistent month of footy. No chance he will get dropped this week IMO

With this:
Worsfold flagged Chris Masten, Jamie McNamara and Brad Ebert as possible match-ups for Ablett if Selwood was deployed elsewhere, and said his eventual opponent would be expected to compete defensively and in attack.
on the Eagles website... I'm banking on Jamie playing.

I wouldn't mind seeing Masten trying a run with role for his development but J-Mac ran with Nick Stevens really well so I wouldn't be suprised if J-Mac got the job.
Really hope we keep playing the kids, that's all.

i hope he doesnt but u gotta get braun kerr fletch in the side, houli will get a rest and maybe davis

my man j-mac is doing big things. We really need him as his tenacity and defensive skills will be needed against their mammoth midfield. Give Houli a rest.
Yeah.
Possible outs: HOULI, RHINO
Possible ins: Fletcher Kerr
Let Brauny rest for another week and gear up for the Hawks onball division next Fri night at the G.

Agreed, JMac should stay in! He needs to repay my DT faith in him at least...

He came in for Kerr, he'll go out for Kerr.
He's shown some great signs, but he's still learning. I saw a few occasions against the Bombers where Macca's opponent got free and caused damage. I know that's a given in footy nowadays, but it happens more often when he plays; he needs to improve going the other way.
Other than his lacking in defence, he certainly looks the type:thumbsu:

not to mention he got caught a few times too, trying to do too much. Getting better but not best 22 yet.

I heard Worsfold say on that Monday interview he does with 6PR that he wanted to play Armstrong instead of McNamara but he'd left Army in WA and had no choice (apparently Graham was the other travelling emergency & they didn't want a tall).
I get the feeling that Woosh really rates Armstrong a lot higher than the average Joe.

And that he doesn't rate the J-Bomb highly at all! Thanks for that Jimmy... did Woosha say anything else about Jamie's performance last weekend?

Personally I would rather see Schofield in the team than Waters at this stage. Waters has played only one game since round 7, and wasn't playing that well before that. He may benefit from a week or two at WAFL level I think.
I dont see Davis being selected over Staker some how. Six talls (as you have the team) is one short IMO.

Not that I can recall. Sorry.
lots of pissed people here now then i reckon.

I think he was definitely stiffed. My DT is not happy! Luckily I don't need him.

Indeed! Should have retained his spot over Fletcher or Braun. Running around against the best midfield in the competition would have been a great learning experience for JMac.
Deserves to get another game on the back of last weeks game.
Played very well tbh.

bloody hell. My man Jmac plays his nuts off and was our best mid last week, and now the joke of a selection comittee drops him. I am PISSED!!! And what about waters, where is he. He wasn't listed in the official teams and wasnt even and emergency. My DT demands that he plays.

Herald Sun site also has masten out with a hip and mckinley back in. Is this right?

Yer mate...they say Masten has a hip injury but it would just be general soreness (i reckon he'd be right to play) so there just resting him!!!
To beat Geelong or at least be close we need midfielders who can apply as much pressure as possible and to really get in and under and work their arses off...which are 3 qualities i have seen in J.Mac in less than 10 games...but i have never really seen in a certain no.7 for our club...Im Filthy at this team selection.
I think it should have been
In: Kerr, Braun, Hansen, Waters, Mckinley
Out: Seaby, Staker, Davis, Masten, Houlihan
I can't believe that. J-Mac was a shining light last week. Maybe woosha doesn't like him!

19 Jun 2008, 22:49
Good move resting Masten I think he needs it.
I am unsure why McNamara was dropped I mean, Houlihan has played 3 on the trot now and had an alright match last week and McNamara had just came back into the side and played a great game, couldn't be good for his confidence.

McNamara must be injured. This must be like the mckinley injury where everyone thought he was dropped but he was injured. That would also explain why he is not an emergency. no other explanation really.
Agree with him being injured.
Altho the teams selections have been all over the place this season. Mcnamara just doesn't seem to be able to get a real shot (as in a string of games).

He must be injured otherwise he'd have to be an emergency!
Also meaning Kerr will definately play!!

So just how pissed are you. Not even an emergency wow.
Seriously don't know what is going through the selectors minds at the moment, Jmac and Davis ( IMO ) busted their gut's and did what is expected of them and to be dropped for Clanger and Hamstring... well I am scratching my head:confused:
JMac being omitted makes no sense at all, we should be trying to get as many games into him as we can. He has to be injured.

They should say if he's injured... I don't know what more the kid has to do. :confused:

Jmac was very good last week adn has been dropped becausde he repeatedly kept the ball going forward to our forward line. Anyone that gets the ball near our forward line will be dropped by super coach. Its all about defence, defence, defence. Its probably why Mckinley was dropped, he scored to many goals.
We are becoming a laughing stock. JMac was outstanding and for him to be ommitted is incredible.

Not quite. I'm willing to bet he didn't get any Brownlow votes last week.
He was very good for a young player. He faded in the second half as young players often do. He was not BOG, he was not even BOG for West Coast, in fact if Kerr played and had 17 dispossals last week like McNamara did, we probably would have said he had a poor game.
The truth is we judge the young kids less harshly than the experienced players (rightly so). It doesn't mean however that the good game for a kid is as valuable to the team as a good game from an experienced player like Fletcher, Braun or Kerr.
We are playing the best team in the comp this week, lets give it our best shot by playing our best team available.

I think the answer to this conundrum is simple. The key to beating Geelong is tackle, tackle and tackle again. McNamara, Davis and Waters are good defensive players which tackle with feoricity. Hansen and Fletcher do not. Therefore, out McNamara and Davis, in Hansen and Fletcher. Waters not included for the same reason.
Or officially, JMac is carrying a lingering injury, Davis needed to be rested, Waters is almost ready, but needs another week. Hansen comes in after fine form in the WAFL and Fletcher is over his injury.
