Jobe needs a spell in the reserves until he learns to kick

[Merv]

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

I think you should settle down.

We have been discussing Jobe, long before you arrived.

Whether they are right or wrong everyone is allowed their opinion and because it differs from your doesn't make them ****wits.

I've seen a few of your posts that i believe qualify you for some name calling, but that hasn't happened has it?

Fair enough mate, no real harm done.

You develop a thicker skin in time.

Cheers

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??

mate like i said not many people pick up on his good things they only remember the bad things which is a shame because jobe gives it his all out there

His kicking has been ordinary and i am having a few doubts but when he is getting the most contested footy i guess you have to overlook the mistakes. It is bloody frustrating as he can kick the footy better than he is currently.

 

[bomberstomake8]

jobe is great in the centre.. his kicking really annoys me, if JJ wasnt there ready to return then i would never drop jobe, but JJ is as good as jobe at getting the ball and creating clearences and has a lot better kick so i think jobe out in JJ would be alright. but with the injuries that have came out of the game vs saints i wouldnt think jobe would be dropped

 

[dave_27]

Lets not beat around the bush here, his kicking atm is atrocious.

To those bagging dysons game, he played ok and was on and off the bench all game.

He will play on Anzac day.

Well said.

He spent the majority of the match on the pine yet still racked up 13 possies and had a couple of goal assists. The fact he should have fresh legs come ANZAC day will mean he wont be dropped.

Jobe just coughs the ball up consistently under pressure, he even dropped a few easy marks today when he thought he was under the pump. Needs a spell in the 2s definately

 

[danzan22]

A good stat for jobe today was how many contested posessions he got, 11 in total (most on ground)

 

[NathanS]

I think Jobe is our best contested possession winner - even more-so then Jason Johnson going by last year. When I heard him on Bomber radio, he admitted that he needed to work on his disposals - so he's aware of what his weakness is.

 

[adamcf]

As for Jobe.... he's starting to become a worry with his possessions.

We'll have to persist with him as he does get the pill and is very good at clearances.

I agree.. I don't think dropping him will help.. He just needs some intense skills coaching. His poor foot skills shoulda been picked up way way way before now.

Not wrong, you have to wonder whether he'd gain his confiedence in the slower moving VFL or just by sticking with him, his contested possessions are certainly helpfull

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.

I was watching the Ess - Stk game.

Dyson was good, he got limited gametime and spent half of it on the bench.
Got more than 10 disposals, kept his man reletively quiet and had some score assists.

He got limited game time because when he was out there he offered very little.

He looked like he was day dreaming.

He got a few cheap possessions in the last few minutes when the game was over and we were playing keepings off.

If it wasn't for a few injuries I'd say he'd be lucky to hold his spot in the team. He is quickly running out of chances.

 

[Jaymin]

He is struggling to kick a drop punt at the moment which is a concern.

He needs to play and work on it and at the moment a player should be running past him whenever he gets the ball so he can lay it off by hand...

And that's exactly why he'll play on Wednesday.


JJ won't play and without him, Jobe (and Hird) is our best inside player.

If we didn't have a three day break and had a full list to choose from, Jobe would be in trouble. And that's good for us, because we're developing some depth.

He'll get better.

 

[Shane Hird]

Jobe will be ok...its only rd 4 folks...long season still ahead

Fair enough
I think he may have done enough to retain his spot. But that's just my opinion.
Depends on who is right to come in.

What leads you to believe JJ won't play?

 

[Crave]

Jobe doesnt need to be dropped, just needs to get back to basics with his kicking. If JJ were to return, Jobe could perhaps be used behind the ball and be forced to move it forward by foot...hopefully with time to drop it onto his boot correctly.

 

[Longy413]

We/he won't make the same mistake as last year.

 

[GoDons]

We/he won't make the same mistake as last year.

I can see your point, but JJ was terrific last week and if he has a good run around today I see no reason to hold him back. If he looks ready, play him. So far, he's looked ready and they should be looking for final confirmation in the VFL today.

I expect him to play on ANZAC Day.

 

[Longy413]

I'll just about put my house on him not playing.
