Drew Petrie - This guy is huge, he is ruckman size, strong and mobile.[size=12pt
size=12pt] I watched and the shoulder difference between him and Jammo would have been 6-8 cms.[/size] So the reach would have been 10+ cms very hard to deal with without the actual weight difference.
Jammo - standing Petrie is a huge job and he was OK in that regard, but his field kicking has gone to crap.
Curnow - Great game, Harvey had little influence and when you had the ball the useage was very good. Second best on ground behind Jammo.
Couple of things, only 4cm diff between the two, 193cm versus 197cm.
Are you suggesting Jamo was BOG or was that a typo?
Looking at that game tonight surely Graham has to come in.
Some of our mids looked bloody awful and needing a rest.
Did you see them warming down in the rooms? Some of our blokes looked shot to pieces, Murph was hobbling badly. I guess with games against Norf thats to be expected.
Jamo has probably struggled since his mate went up forward. Hendo too valuable to go back now and Mick needs to find a suitable replacement. I'm not sure these guys who need to worry about their games rather than helping out the backline are the answer.
And very few full backs work well in isolation or when their other defenders change.
And he was on a Petrie who is a MASSIVE unit.
Again. Look at the delivery and way the ball goes into Norths forward line and compare it too us.
No comparison.
Agree delivery was they key but Jamos positioning was atrocious. Is he feeling the effect of his defensive buddy move up forward. For the record, Petrie is 4cm taller, 3 kg heavier but he has played 130 games more than Jamo.
Jammo certainly was bad. He has no pace this year and obviously hates playing N.M. He gets a bath every time. His fumbling tonight was especially bad, but at least he tries. Watson is an absolute NO-TRIER!
Elwood you mention Watson's mark. Well done, it was his only highlight and as I said, he was in the vicinity so he had a chance.
Purlease - for mine, Watson was our best defender tonight.....how'd his opponent go? Best game Watson has played by a mile, really encouraged with his performance tonight.
Jamo was disgusting.....that's 3 consecutive weeks of us possibly witnessing the demise of Jamo. Has not got a clue out there at the moment, embarrassing he is, total liability. Can't kick, constant brain explosions, can't get near his man - even in situations whereby his opponent is the obvious choice for having the ball delivered, Jamo manages to misread the play/flight of the ball/be too slow off the mark.......I'm over him. He got lucky with Riewoldt's kicking for goal last week, but he is in career-worst form. I hope like hell we're talking to some other full-backs out there come trade time.....Jamo's cooked.
Tend to agree, starts the year off so well then fades away badly. I some instances last night, he actually got himself to the front of Petrie then swung around behind him (not by Petrie) and got out marked. I think Jamo plays his best footy when he reads the footy and attacks it. He just isnt doing that ATM, just focussing too much on his man.
Has anyone mentioned that incredible torpedo induced coast to coast goal?
Want to see the clock on that one. Definitely a ploy worth trying at least once a game.
For the life of me I cannot fathom why Watson doesn't kick out every single time. Such a beautiful kick! He's relatively slow, and Walker's relatively fast so ... swap roles.
75m barrell that one. Can't do it too often as it becomes to predictable. But once or twice a game, it could work
Worst on Ground? Watson. Should never get another game. Can anyone remember him using any intensity over the last couple of weeks? He can only gain possession when he is the immediate vicinity. He cannot GET the ball! Never helps out. Runs , no, make that TROTS beside the opposition.
Harsh
We know he has a great left peg but the ironic part about this guy is that to me, the thing we criticise him most for is is lack of intensity but it is abit of a weapon for him in a strange kind of way. He just doesnt panic, he doesnt have a pulse I reckon. I dunno I cant work him out. Something tells me MM should just keep persisting with him maybe, FIIK!

We will be in the 8 24 hrs at best.
