It must have been a monster of a dummy spit by Jetta for him to be on the complete outer with Simmo et al.
Talk about a downgrade

Can only think wet weather with Ainsworth...even then wouldn’t they bring in Bradshaw?
Ainsworth will likely be instructed to sacrifice his game and cover ground. He might rest forward; would be nice to see a few tackles.
For the barrage of games coming up, I figure the MC prefers him over another debutant.
There's a good chance that we could see another fresh face soon, though. Could make a strong case to do it now.

Not sure what’s the go with Jetta now. I was happy for him to sit and wait, the current backline had more than earned consistent selection, but this is an odd one.
Gov for Duggan, Rotham going to Dug’s spot I don’t mind. Still just thought Jetta would be in the frame.
Ainsworth forward again, ****ing **** yeah. Joy. He’d better tag or it’s a complete waste.

Brayshaw is like Priddis. I doubt we will debut him unless a couple of inside mids are injured. Ainsworth has decent running ability so I guess they favour him to do an outside/defensive space filler role.

Reckon Ainsworth’s best attribute may be that he can be depended upon to play a role. That’s why he’s in this week no other explanation comes to mind

If that's our match committees sole expectations of Ainsworth, then they may as well hand him the number 7 jumper next year.
Who doesn’t love the good old “Lets drop him because he isn’t good enough” Followed by recalling him only a week later in the hope he’s learnt how to kick (or play football) in that time. Surely if someone is dropped for bad form they aren’t the first back in (especially if they are an inside midfielder and the persok they’re replacing is a link up forward).
You’d think someone like O’Neill has a better scope to play whatever role Cameron was playing with Reid taking Jakey’s spot.

So McGovern comes back and Rotham takes on a more mobile role this week in Duggan's absence.
Reid would appear to be more suited to cover for Waterman's injury.
Ainsworth in is the interesting one: with Cameron's low production in recent matches and the lack of available small forward quality, perhaps we shall see more of the top line midfield rotating and spending time up forward with Ainsworth playing a sweeping role in conjunction with Nelson.

Aside from Josh Kennedy missing games due to a tennis ball in the eye, didn't someone else from memory miss a match because they stood on a sting ray during a recovery session?
Or the time both Kerr and Embley somehow got injured and missed the game during the warm-up of a derby?
We must be unbelievable unlucky because you can't make this stuff up

Perhaps we thought that 2 debuts in the same game would be going to far the other way lol.

Was he dropped for bad form or was it because premiership midfielder Jack Redden came back from injury?

Lost in all of this is a great result for Rotham. Super versatile, and clearly has earned the right to play tall or small.

Surely the sweeping role requires a basic set of foot skills at a minimum.
Hopefully Reid goes full Tim Kelly under the radar type stuff

Jetta’s at least an emergency, for the second straight week, so the MC hasn’t completely put a line through his name.
Rotham would’ve been unlucky to lose his spot and he’s pretty versatile so I think it makes sense to slide him into Duggan’s role rather than make two changes to the backline

Honestly what is the harm of debuting Xavier O’Neill instead of bringing back 5 disposal Brayden ‘Can’t kick or even drop a football’ Ainsworth
