He hasn't earned a game yet.
I like the way he plays and was impressed with a lot of his work in the NAB game against Essendon. However, he made errors (as did many others) that suggested to me that he isn't quite ready. The other factor is that the players that he could replace haven't done much wrong.

He was spoiling when he should have marked on a couple of crucial plays and he fumbled at other times. Maybe the selectors were nervous especially with Buddy lurking?
Jamison had 9 disposals and took 3 marks. Rowe had 12 disposals and 6 marks. Neither laid a tackle :
. Rowe did better than Jamison when playing on Buddy in the NAB game so I don't think that it's a match up issue.Wouldn't it be great if the club explained the reasons for selection decisions? It would take the wind out of a lot of debates here

I think we need to show some faith in our new coach, I disagree with it as well but last week's effort was full of merit so let's see how it pans out.

Yes, BB is always talking about "learning opportunities" so this game featuring one of the game's leading players in Buddy would be one such opportunity. Playing on him would be no doubt a real "schooling".

Players will get chances as the season drags on. Rowe last week went to spoil when he probably should have gone to mark. Given the importance of gaining and retaining posession it wasn't what the team needed. His disposal also isn't great compared to where we need to be. Its hard to see a place for Rowe if it becomes a priority to move the ball quickly in and out of the backline.
If sydney go forward as many times as they did last week then it will be a heavy defeat regardless of who is down there. We have to win in the middle.

It would only make him more determined to ensure it never happened again. This is how the kid comes across to me at least. We've got ourselves a special one in JW.

Its hard to see a place for Rowe if it becomes a priority to move the ball quickly in and out of the backline.Rowe is also very slow to make a decision. With the new game style, its fair to say it involves quick decision making and quick ball movement by hand and foot. Most have grasped this concept and have adapted well. What it has done though is exposed blokes like Rowe, White and to a lesser extent Jamo. These 3 in particular stop and prop alot more than the others. Yes being deep in defence means you have to be careful with the decision you make however it still needs to be quick and correct. Even things like mark vs punch/spoil, they often make the wrong decision under pressure. Watch Weitering in action, he sums it up very quickly and moves it quickly.

Lockett did the same to SOS and it didn't hurt him in the least so you can see where BB is going with this. I remember the day at Waverly well. SOS still won over half the contests. It was one of a precosious Minton-Connell's first games.

As Baggers reported from the NBs practice match, Rowe and Byrne didn't play. More importantly, Buckley was withdrawn at the last minute, suggesting an injury concern for one of the blokes named in the 22.
