Not even a mention of Kennelly, might be the end for Playfair who has filled a role down forward. We will remember him most for his ruckwork against Jason Ball in 05.
What we want from Jetta is to kick a few goals, as that will pick up the confidence and in Canberra he gets the chance.

Re: How confident
Not at all. We're not a good enough team to be confident. We CAN be a good enough team but at the developmental stage we're at, inconsitency is a big concern.
Also, Port have lost four straight and are playing at home ... yes, we certainly can win but it's very much a game not to get cocky about.
Port are pretty ordinary, they're inconsistent and physically soft, but if they have a good day they can beat us.

Yeah I'm a Victorian based member but I post a lot on the North Melbourne board due to the role I have with Werribee FC who are aligned to them.

Re: How confident
True in everything you say, but I think that for some reason I always question whether or not we can beat them over there because they are a bit unpredictable at home.
Fair point?

"Haters"??? Pretty strong language, I've never been under the impression people on here hated Jetta.
great to see Benny Mac Back
and i think is great for Jets to have a rest go down to canberra (if thats why they chose to do) have a bit of a run down there and kick some goals and have him back ready to go against the pies its perfect!
Im hoping Vesz might sneak in on saturday...or for the pies game!

Bit early to call with 11 rounds and (hopefully) finals to go. If it's just soreness I expect there will be other opportunities for Henry. A 26yr old 198cm player who can play both ends of the ground and ruck is a pretty versatile spare. His form over the last 4 weeks has been good, even very good though he was a bit quieter last week. Nonetheless he showed his value at filling a couple of crucial ruck and forward roles when our depth was sorely tested.
If his hammy holds up I reckon Roos would be pretty pleased he punted on taking Henry as a mature rookie.
Jetta's out surprised me a bit but I'll take Roos at his word if he says the guy needs a rest. It'll be great if we get McGlynn and Tadgh back.

Re: How confident
Yeah, of course ... but for a team that's lost four straight, including I think two of those at home, unpredictability suggests they're due a win.
We can definitely beat them, but we're almost as unpredictable, particularly in Adelaide.

Sorry, I used the wrong word. Jetta hater would be more appropriate. You know who you are
lol he has made more calls for him to be dropped than Jetta has kicked behinds.
I have no problem with him being 'rested' but the calls for him to be dropped weeks ago for bad form were wrong.
I am pretty confident we can beat Port however we will need to keep up the momentum and improve with our form. We have to work on not turning it over so much we were lucky it didnt cost us the game last week, especially from down back, Tige will straighten us up a bit and our forward pressure needs to go up a gear. Mummy is gonna smash Bogan and beat him in the ruck as well, dunno if theres something in the water over in Adelaide but geez they have a high percentage of players with over sized heads.
I watched the second half of the Port game last week after the Swans game on Sunday and I thought Id have a peek at the Port board straight after their loss, fair dinkum do they eat their own or what? The one that struck me most was titled 'Motlop is a Dog".. Thats so harsh Id be dissapointed in our 'supporters' making claims like that about any of our players, it was pathetic, poor form Port fans...

1) So who is our Jetta "hater"?
2) D Motlop is too weak to be a dog; too pathetic to be called a peaheart.
One of the more gutless players in the competition. Anyone recall his pathetic slaps at Craig Bolton in a tackle in one of our clashes with Power about two years back? I think it was the Tim Schmidt game.
I love when most of us say words to the effect of, 'it will be good for him to go back to the ressies and kick a few goals and get his confidence up', like it's a certainty to happen Depending on which team they are playing, kicking goals is never a certainty. I'd actually be surprised if Jets kicks a bag this weekend. I hope he proves me wrong though! Good luck Jets!

Good luck Jets!would you start threads like that or make posts like that about any of our players? Youd at least 'sugar coat it'...
sure I know I gotta get with it its only the interweb and you can say what you want hiding behind a username but I just think its bad form from 'supporters' of any club.

I take your point. Although in Motlop's case it's difficult for me, personally, to make any concessions. I can't stand the bloke. I'd rate him with Adam Hunter and Campbell Brown as among my more loathed players of recent times.
I hate to see players with such exuberant natural talent spoil it by playing with a complete lack of heart, pride and sense of team responsibility.

Not sure if I'm one of the "Jetta Haters" but I have certainly called for him to be dropped. Not forever, just for a bit. Reason being he simply doesn't lay enough tackles, and his positive work isn't so good that he gets to be a non-tackler. I know he looks exciting, and I think he'll be great in time, but I want to see half a dozen tackles from him per match.
MPB, I think the Bez's point is that you don't bag your own players to that extent. Sure we grumble and grouch about our players, call their form into question and recommend a good dropping to the 2s but it's rare that we openly get nasty about them and never would we start a thread with that sort of title. When I hear folks on this board using terms like 'spud' to describe our players I get a bit pissed off. These guys are willing to give their all on the field while we swig back beers and feel like champions when they win it for us. All of our player list are brave and hearty men. Sure some of them can't kick and some can't mark and some turn over the ball too easily but their character is unquestionable.
Bagging some other team's players is fine for mine unless they're an ex-Swans premiership player to whom we still owe some debt of gratitude.
agree but those things can be improved in the seniors too. he was certainly not a liability but all fair points and at least yours is constructive criticism.
He admitted to Roos he was getting tired, after he was dropped lol
