Noted that you didn't take me up on the bet that he would get a coach's vote.

He was stiff... probably get the 10 this week

Probably. He's been incredibly unlucky - not often a bloke coming 3rd in the bnf hasn't got a single coach's vote.

He will definitely get the full 10 in the Adelaide B&F this week.

What's your go are you related to him or something?

 

[ChoppyGun]

Wouldn't be in top 10 in Syd.

It's those kind of comments where lose all credibility. (not assuming any existed to start with)

I don't hate him and he has always turned up fit, professional footballer no doubt.

That deserves respect. (Unlike fatty, lazy Ahern etc types)

Problem is he really isn't very good at anything at all on the field.

If I was a rival coach, i'd think it was my birthday and celebrate seeing him on our team list.

And there lays out problem, seemingly no fault from our club's pov but to another club is a player who has no standout feature.....

 

[Gasometer]

Just kicked a goal

Just kicked a goal

Makes up for the one he gave away
In all seriouslyness he's been serviceable today. Good to see him give away a free for sticking a tackle!

 

[tazaa]

Was excellent today. Looked good on a wing too.
But it was Adelaide and let’s see how he goes against Geelong who have those who can trouble him.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Did well, made a few mistakes and did a few nice things too

Wasn’t our worst

Still shouldn’t be playing, wasting chance of development of younger players

It helps playing the standard of a reserves Old Scholars team to get a kick and look good.

But he was mostly good and deserves credit for that. Let's now see it when under pressure against better teams.

 

[gustev]

Next captain.

 

[Horizons_00]

Did I see him play in the middle?

 

[hellas_johnny]

Did I see him play in the middle?

Think i did see him in the middle at one stage. It seems to me that playing him on the wing was playing him in polecs role. the difference being that Jmac at least trys to tackle and go in whereas polec has been well known to not put in and wait on the outside.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Did I see him play in the middle?

Played wing, where most of us have been saying for years he’s best suited.

 

[King Corey]

Solid game. Showed strong intent out there. Credit where it's due.

 

[Asifhe Givashe]

Goes ok when he is not having to defend 1:1.

 

[giantroo]

Did I see him play in the middle?

Yeah, he played in the midfeld.


He was listed as a mid on his draft profile

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

Looks like Jamie is heading home to be with his partner for the birth of their first baby. Congrats JMac & wishing you both all the best for the arrival of your little Joey.

Fair enough - we live in strange times. Good luck to Mr and Mrs JMac.
