I like Raines, but I'd prefer Jacko in this situation. As you say he is physically more mature and for a guy his size he is not at all slow.Tubytiger said:

You still having a crack lebo! ;D
Must admit, very disappointed Jackson has been dropped. THought he was ok last week which made him better than most. I can see Raines at least gettting a full game in the magoos but even he is a bit stiff.
Jackson has done nothing so far. Graham has done worse and Krakour should not even be on the list.
If Johnno doesn't come up, jacko will be in. But you can't promote two lightweight teenagers and keep another lightweight in Raines and a heavier but still developing Jacko in the side against a mature side like Port.CarnTheTiges said:
Some solid game time at Coburg will do Jacko the world of good. He'll have more time to work on his game - he looks rushed in the seniors.
I've always felt Rodan needed some time at Coburg instead of learning bad habits in his first two years of senior footy. It's best for the long-term development of most of our young players that they are given time at Coburg to get up to speed. Even if it means giving time in the seniors to players who probably won't be around in 1-2 years.

Geez thats a tough call droping jackson & raines for tambling and meyer.....raines & jackson did enough to be playing this week raines got like 1 3/4 game time bit of a joke....tambling may strugle and meyer???????? agree
gilmore needs a go and there some others that probly deserve to be dropped
A couple of weeks in the twos wont hurt Jacko, he can play some full games, and just get his hands on the footy.
Not unhappy with that decision.

And the Hawks dropped Franklin and Roughhead ... (even though Franklin ended up playing)
Its called player management. I would prefer that TW played a player 3-4 weeks and then gave them a week or 2 to work on improvements to their game and then brought them back in. this way we get games into all the kids while still resembling a football team.
We must remember that Jacko is still only 19 and was not like deledio (the number 1 pick). Even deledio will get a rest sometime during the season.

ahhhh the voice of reason
wallace is still trying to get our oldest 22 on the park which he has nearly done bar Morrison, Hilton and hyde. Morrow can't squeeze in because he's the 9th oldest big fellow. Hilton and hyde are injured.
therefore younsters fill the gaps.
The youngsters have to learn and earn their spots. And keep earning their places too, and that will make us stronger in the long term.
And the older players get to state their case (and have a chance to drive up their trade value).
carna Tigers...smash the Power
fair crack of the whip MoneyBags.remember i support the tigers.i need that medication ;Dmb64 said:
I wouldnt call Jacko,s demotion as either a disgrace or TW crucifing him.I agree there are those like Krak etc who deserve to be playing for Coburg than Jacko but like i said this is more or less Jacko,s 1st full season and considering his background he has done a wonderful job thus far but still is learning the game.
Besides id rather be in Jacko,s shoes than the likes of krak,Pettifer,Tivvers etc if their lack of form continues after rnd 8
Good morning skipper,I have not been happy with TW's treatment of Jackson all season.This is a baffling decsion in my eyes.CptJonno2Madcow2005 said:fair crack of the whip MoneyBags.remember i support the tigers.i need that medication ;Dmb64 said:

Top of the morning to ya MoneyBags.Im sure TW knows what he,s doing and you also have to take into account the input that Royal has as well when it comes to the side and in particular the kids.mb64 said:
Jackson, Raines and Pattison played for Coburg today so Johnson will defrinately play. A bit too early? The 3 emergencies were amongst the bests and I think it is wise to give Jacko and Raines full games at coburg. They were a bit scratchy at the start of the game but slowly got their rythm and started to take full control near the end. Give these 2 another 2-3 full games at Coburg, then promote them as this is the best for their development. Sheedy always did this - drop the kids to the twos despite their form in order to get full games under their belts. Not too unhappy, as Terry deosn't want to fully blood in the kids yet while assessing which parts he can salvage from the car wreck.
We just have to trust that they've made the right call on Johnno and aren't playing him a week too early. If he's right he'll add some steel to the midfield.
