A number of people voted for him for his effort against Sydney: he received a couple of 5 vote mentions. However, his stats were ordinary and, for the 2nd week in a row, he struggled to get 10 possessions.
According to many he is really struggling. Others think he is doing not too badly.
Rowe is in a similar position. He played OK in round 1, but for dropping too many marks. For his fumbles, he was almost dropped (even though he had more impact that Jamo did and more than twice the number of possessions). He was saved only by injury to Walker.
That may not have done him that much good, as he had very few possessions against Sydney, while the Sydney tall forwards got goals.
As a result, both Jamo and Rowe are under considerable pressure.
Jamo is well past his best and no longer an elite player - still a very good defensive player but no longer offers much in an attacking sense.
Rowe seems willing to attack but his disposal skills probably don't deserve to be called skills.
They have limitations but should retain their places until a better option becomes available.
