he's played every game so far. Looks fit and is finding heaps of the ball.
Got 34 possesions and kicked a vital goal against Adelaide a win i enjoyed very much :D And hes knocked up 84 disposals which is in the top 10 in the league!!
Top stuff i think

He is doing great, but i wouldn't be surprised if i saw him dropped after a couple bad games, I doubt he'll ever fully concrete his spot in the 22.

Gee-wiz Juddy I think that your a bit harsh on Jonesy he is definately in our best 22 ATM and there is no reason for him to be dropped after a couple of bad games the way he is going he deserves more than a couple of bad games to be dropped IMO.
He has definate got us over the line against Adelaide by kicking that last goal that put us in front and getting a heap of the footy.
I think that there is to many knockers or supporters that just don't like him.:confused:

I think RoJo is much better on the ball than when he was used on the flank where his kicking let him down. In our best 22 definatley.

Every game on a few occasions I see rojo inside 50, metres in the clear with his big arms out, going 'kick it to me kick it to me' but no one ever kicks it to him.

I'm a big fan of his, and love to see him in the team, felt sorry for him last year not playing when he was having huge WAFL games, then missing the Grand Final.
I Also respect him for not asking to be traded when i think he would be getting 22 games at almost every other clubs, he showed his loyalty and hopefully the coaching staff will continue to repay that.
I think what he does need is a new haircut, as stupid as it sounds, maybe they'll notice him more then. The middle part just aint cutting it.
He is in our best 22 ATM but i dunno i just feel the coaching staff see him as collateral should they have to balance out the team more.
But he is doing great and i hope he continues to do so, he puts pressure on players within the team to keep their spot and its great to see.

Maybe their scared of feeling Lynchy's wrath after the game for not kicking to him.
I'm supprised he never got a spot in the team last year even when he was getting 40 possies with Claremont
Only thing that lets his game down is his kicking IMO, not bad but could be a lot better especially when you compair his kicking to other players like Embley and Cousins

I think he will play every game this season. In sparkling form.

aha, yes i do, i thought it sounded weird when i read it back to myself. I should have consulted my big book of footballing cliches.

RoJo has had two very ordinary games in a row.
He was an absolute passenger tonight against the Pies.
He had zero impact and failed to lay a single tackle.
Not good enough.

Agreed.
We have a great player in LeCras waiting in wings for an opportunity and I think it may have happened!!
I do like RoJo but i think he has run his race.

Quite possible he could get dropped. Though with Woosha nothing is certain

I'd like to see Priddis get a game under his belt, perhaps at the expense of Jonesy.

LeCras in for Jones.
No... Jones will play against the Dons.
