Jom is gone. Surely 
I'm curious at to what JOM's role has been generally, it's obvious he's valued by the team and despite all the classic "he must have photos" or it's because we invested too much / he's in the leadership team / etc. the far more likely answer is it just escapes the attention of the average fan.
I don't notice it much during the game, but he must be offering the team something.

People are getting very carried away. He showed good signs, but some on here are acting like he’s the 2nd coming and was one of our best.
For perspective, 13 Freo players had more than 4 score involvements last night. He went on with 10 minutes (game time) left in the first, so on average he might have got to 5 SI’s.
The only forward with less was Emmett with 2. Other forwards had 5-8 (Brayshaw 11, Fyfe 10 were top)
Oh and the other forwards scored (except Emmett). So he didn’t really “bring what we most need to score more”.
Bias is real.
It’s not ideal, but not too bad - we have an 8 day break then 5 day.
Sydney have back to back 6 day breaks which I think is worse, clubs tend to complain about that more.

I do like Walters.
But if it's near the end of his career, make him play the Pavlich role in his final season.
Let him play the Perth home games. Rest him for the away games.
If we make finals, let him play every final .

Switta has to come in as that defensive forward on a flank.
I sadly want Sam Sturt in too

Yeah if Freo needs to make finals, they need to win away games like tigers at the MCG
reminded me of Jonah Lomu
Please tell me the other players on our list that would have pulled off the first sidestep & handball to Brayshaw, the perfect chip over the top to Banfield at full pace after a bounce & the 40M cross over the defender to land perfectly with Voss.
It’s his first game, he didn’t have big numbers but everything he did was gold.
And yeah, players that can kick lace out to forwards are exactly what we need. Forward connection.
He wasn’t one of our best by the numbers but the things he did were done better than almost anyone else could have done them.
It’s the sort of potential you nurture as quickly as possible up to the level. In my opinion.

I was going to call you to task for comparing an all time sporting great to Tom Emmett, but I realised it's a specific reference:
When he ran over the top of Carling despite being off balance from the previous tackle attempt?
5 day break into Sydney on way back
Would you consider managing a couple
In
Swit
Worner
Amiss
Davies
Out
Jackson (managed)
Walters (managed)
Draper (inj)

Though I’d prob manage Walter’s for Collingwood

You’ve got Walters twice !
Not enough love for Voss outside of acknowledging his one goal.
His positioning is fantastic, he commits to bullying/shoving the ball carrier down no matter what. He can take a mark, run and I reckon he'll become a dead eye in front of goal.
Voss to me is an absolute essential in.

I like all you said there but who misses out if Amiss is fit?
Yes, agree. JOM was quite good in the first half, pushing back to help the defense. He's certainly better than Johnson at the moment.
Yes, he brings a certain uumph to the side and isn't lacking confidence.
It wasn’t a tag, he was assigned with manning him when Bont pushed forward in the 2nd half, first half it appeared Chapmans role but was shifted off him.
I watched a bit of the replay, JOM worked into defense during first quarter and participated in some clearances from defensive 50 which was nice. He also loves the 6-8m loopy handball which wasn’t so nice. He was serviceable, but for his contract length, contract price, opportunity cost - moved on Acres, he’s been a list management blunder. You don’t give 500k / yr 4 year contracts for serviceable.
He’s right on the cusp of the 23 for mine. Personally I’d like him out of the team, unless he’s playing HBF. As a wing or HFF he’s too far down the line because he doesn’t cover the territory required at the pace needed. Walters I would guess covers more ground at quicker pace and everyone is worrying about his longevity though Saturday he looked good. JOM might be better suited to a HBF as HBF don’t need to do massive km’s as long as they can kick.
HBF - Clark, Chapman, Aish or Walker 3rd, JOM or Worner 5th for mine, Wagner
Wing - Sharp, Banfield (wtf who would of thought), NOD, Frederick, Aish, Worner / Wagner, Stanley, JOM, Williams
HFF - Frederick, Switkowski, Emmett, Walters, Simpson, Stanley, JOM, Delean
He’s on a road to nowhere IMO…
