What changes, if any, should we make for the Cats game?

Jackson did a pretty good job on Power

Yeah Jacko was a bit flat but I don't know if Polo has the pace for a very speedy Cats outfit.
If it rains then maybe Polo might be okay, otherwise I'd stick with Jacko or maybe Rance for a baptism of fire debut.

That is true, but but he didn't look as sure on the offensive end as Polo does.

There were a few rabbit in the headlights moments that stood out like the proverbial.  That said his game was ok.


I would not be surprised with "no change" officially on Thursday.

Won't rain under the closed dry dome surface on Sat night Tiga although my beef with Jackson is his awareness sometimes leaves alot to be desired like that last quarter incident when he got run down. Perhaps Polo's hardness at it might help us we are quick as is and whether Jacko or Polo is in the side it won't make us any quicker. As long as Hyde isn't brought in to tag Ablett if he is named.

Doh!!! Thanks for pointing that out HT. For some reason I thought we were playing at Kardinia Park.

Going by Wallace's praise of Jacko's game in EOTT Jacko won't be dropped.

During matches, there’s a tendency to focus on the players who have an impact on the scoreboard and gather high numbers statistically. In Daniel Jackson’s case, he was still able to generate 19 possessions himself throughout the game, while taking out the opposition’s key impact players [Power and Brennan] at the same time. It was a pleasant surprise to have Jacko come back in such good form.
