Tigers' Daniel Jackson could miss AFL opener (SBS)

[tony_montana]

Dimmas post match press conference was interesting - reading between the lines it looks like he is making preparations for Jackson to miss the game and cover Ablett with multiple rotating opponents instead. Foley, Grimes , Knights and Kingy all need more game time so we could see all miss round one. I'd be surprised if King misses though imo. Was impressed by Thomas so he's a lock for the No. 1 rookie elevation spot. Was also very pleased with Astbury, Griffiths and McDonough - the first two are givens to play round one while I doubt McDonough will play just yet. Did say that he frees up and Houli or Dusty though when he plays well. 

Vickery and Cotch will play. Jack is rusty but he expects him to improve over the week at training. Didn't mention Elton but I though he was terrific.

reading between the lines?  Dimma pretty much said it word for word re Jackson and Ablett

Thomas just needs to play within his limitations like Jacko has learned to do.

He does you flog. Do you folks even watch the mighty Port FFS

[Willy]

Like Whoah! Steady on Gramps!   
Never said that he didn't. My point was that if he plays his role there is a spot for him in the seniors.

FWIW, i've seen a few good Ports in my time. There's a ripper one in Sydney. 

[Willy]

Whoa! Like RIP, just quietly.

Thomas shouldn't be allowed to play unless he can kick a few shanks

[Judge Roughneck]

... Thomas > Jackson ...

[Willy]

Jacko goes nicely these days.
We'll miss him round 1.
