I'm gonna get flamed for this but the guys foot skills are discracefull.
I agree his handball is classy most of the time but even then he puts team mates under pressure with his obsessive compulsive handball disorder.

This pains me to say as his old man is my all time favourite footballer and i'd love nothing more than for Jobe to be a gun but im seeing trouble ahead for him if he cant correct his kicking.
 
He's a bloody good player, but it's a shame his kicking lets him down.
His handballing is sensational however.
I think Watson will retain his place in the starting 22.
Who comes out for JJ?

Jetta should clearly be dropped as he has lost all confidence now.

Depends on who else plays well is the reserves and who pulls up poorly as to other changes.

Dyson and Heff would be on shaky ground, depending on matchups etc
 
Heff deserves to keep his spot in the team imo, it will be dyson most likely.

Yeah, that's the most likely option. Maybe Jetta?
Played well though Dyson.
Johns was solid without being a star, got limited gametime but i just don't see why we need him in the team right at this moment.
There are so many players yet to come back into this team that deserve spots.

Nearly forgot about his game, needs to be dropped to get his confidence back.

I thought he was very poor except for the odd patch here and there
 
A couple of those mistakes were horrible but we have to persevere with Jobe.
The kicking thing is a confidence thing dropping him to the vfl wont hope that. The saints have a very strong midfield and Jobe with 10 contested possesions was one of the reasons why we broke even in that department.

Really?
I thought he played a good game considering his limited gametime.
In and under around the packs and a great run through the midfield, and a supurb kick running full pace onto the chest of one of our forwards.
Looks like he may get ommited come this week though.
 
I dont think he needs a spell, he just needs to be taught how to kick. Everything else is fine, they all looked stuffed by 3 quarter time, so evidently...their skills levels are bound to drop acutely due to fatigue.

In all fairness to Jetta, he didnt have a great deal of game time, but a spell in the VFL would help him out. Then again, with such a short break, we all need all the help we can get in the middle in regards to speed...hard to toss up. Id say give the boy a run on ANZAC Day just to be sure, especially if the Pies continue to play some of their kids.

Heff will be in for ANZAC Day, agree with Dyson not showing much though....only thing that would save him would be if Hird or Monfries pull up too sore for Wednesday.

They did look a bit groggy...
Should be fine though.
Now, i didn't see much of the first half and i didn't see Hille in the second half.
Was he injured and if so, how did he injure himself?

the thing is with some of you **** wits is that you will always pick up on his mistakes, look at his stats for the last year, you will always pick on the 2 or 3 bad kicks per game but how bout the other 20 possies that are effictive, i think you should just all lay off him, he is great with contested possies

Before you go shooting your mouth off any further, we all acknowledge his assets, but his kicking is dreadful. As the game progresses, he's going to need to learn to kick.....he's a professional footballer. It's his job to be able to do it properly.

He seemed find to me, I didnt notice anything...got to the game 10 mins into the 1st quarter, so unless something happened there.....unless anyone can fill us all in on the matter.
 
There was one point that I was very impressed with Jobes kicking today when he was on half back, in the middle of a pack and he spotted up Stanton forty metres away. This was in the latter part of the third quarter when the game was on the line. Did anyone else see it??

Geeeeeezzz....

Dyson was very very poor.

What game were you watching?

I watched him closely first half and he was a spectator most of the time.

Boy did we miss Winderlich today.
