His pace and skills are helpful up forward at the moment.

As for whether he's answered the critics, I imagine the jury's still out for them.

It can take one moment to lose respect, and quite a bit longer to earn it.

keeps his form up and he will make it very hard for maric, jetta and my aussie to come back in the side..

well done tho jamie! loved his game.

Shouldn't have been dropped, and showed why.

Loved the run off Maric. But he also showed a bit more aggression than last week.

Could turn out to be a good forward pocket.

Where?

What dee luded said. Keyser- JB wouldn't have been under any disillusions as to why he was dropped, the reason would have been made crystal clear- And I would hope dropping him to work on his deficiencies would have helped him- not have the opposite effect.

In any case it’s all irrelevant now because he just came off a cracker... however, (& please don't think i'm a troll.. just merely stimulating conversation) if he does squib it big again, what then??

Go Dees!!

Well wheres the freaking link?

How would you know? He played one effective Qtr where thankfully, he influenced the game.

Thats what we wanted from him. Thats how he played last year.

What he has dished up this year prior to yesterdays last Qtr, has been crap.

He needs to keep it up. Because there are other youngsters who deserve a game.

Has the critisism stung him enough to make the penny drop long term? We won't know for a little while till the dust settles, & he relaxes again. Then we'll see what he's made of.

I, personally see his talent & want him to not only succeed, but star. I hope your right, that he's been sorted.

Well if you called his first 3 qtrs crap love to know your thoughts on the rest of the team espec after a 1 goal first half

easily in our best 4th or 5th player for the entire day

As I mentioned in another thread I thought he was just as good the week before against the Pies besides a couple of contests he could have gone harder at vs Pies.

His skill level is improving compared to the preseason where he had the run and carry out of defence but he would turn the ball over often. Hopefully we continue to see the upward improvement and consistancy from him. He could turn out to be a beauty.

His last two weeks have been pleasing I reckon, and should give the footy department a lot of confidence when it comes to putting players up and down every week. They've stuck with Dunn and seen results. Newton is being persisted with, and I reckon if there's room for him there HAS to be room for Bennell. They could have been forgiven for dropping JB, they stuck fat. I think it says as much about them as it does Jamie.

I'm hoping the talk after last week got him angry. Either because he cramped and was keen to prove people wrong, or because he squibbed and wanted to prove he was worth persisting with.

Either way he responded quickly. Very pleasing.

Bennell has alot of skill and should be persisted with.

Newton is a beneficiary of consequence and would not be there if there were half decent options. Newton was put on the rookie list at 2009 year end. I have seen nothing to suggest he wont be gone at the end of 2010.

I am not sure what Dunn has delivered to date but has confirmed the question marks that surround his performances in now his sixth year. Flaky at best.
