We don't need to play 3 key defenders this week. Bruce for Keath might be okay but we want someone to play on more mobile types
Bevo's didn't do JOD any favors playing him as a forward.

Mate the club is clearly and very deliberately backing JOD so I am.
Whether it is wrong I know not but let us see.

I'd rather see Caleb Daniel play as a key back than JOD right now. If we're not going to play Bruce in the role we've tried to reinvent him for then I see no reason to even have him on the list.

I'm not sure he's doing the club any favours by playing JOD at all.

To be clear, I think we are both not talking about JOD in the longer term. But right NOW, with the season in the line after his bad games coinciding with bad losses... No freaking way this week.

Absolutely not, I rate what I have seen of JOD. But he isn't ready.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 v Fremantle
Imo our selected defence .with the exception of Bailey Dale. is either out of form, not up to it or inexperienced. I fear if Freo play Fyfe foward we will be torched. Bevo however might swing Naughton back although i doubt it.

The Fyfe forward option concerns me as well.

I know we have some injuries but that named 22 is depressingly a long way from troubling any of the good sides.

Yep very long tail there.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I am a believer that depth can be overstated and most often a reflection of the better players/structural things. That said, I agree our tail doesn't look good.
Whatever the case, if we continue to not get anywhere near bang for buck with our midfield domination, our depth will not matter.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 v Fremantle
Don't think JOD is ready but at least he is probably getting picked to play an actual position this week. The previous games were as if we were told we had to select him and were just trying to hide him where ever we could in the 22.
Also after another week of not being selected I think Khamis is a big Sweet-zone contender in the future. Not sure if he is even worth discussing seeing as we have been interested in even considering him for selection maybe 5 weeks in his 5 years at the club.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

I agree with your thoughts on JOD. Let's cool our jets and wait to see the role he will be given and how he goes about it. It won't necessarily be to get 20 - 30 p's but to play a role. Yes he is probably not ready yet but we don't have a great deal of options at the moment so thinking long term it is great for his development.
