View Full Version : Interesting Rowan Jones Stat
Hes leading the AFL for tackles with 27 so far this season, also 7th in the possession tally too.
A very underrated part of his game is his tackling and its something we missed last year. Good to see the issue was addressed and good to see RoJo back in the team

9 tackles a game is very good. If he keeps that rate up he may get 200 tackles in a season!:eek:

These stat thread are making me happy. It's good to know that after making the GF last year we're improving and that the improvement isn't coming from the guys who were already guns but rather the guys who had the scope for it (R. Jones, Staker, Graham).

He is underated. Hell, before these opening weeks i couldnt really say i rated him that much. He has really hit form, and if he continues like this he could very well be a Best and Fairest contender, although Cox seems to be a stronger option there..

Perhaps being played on the half forward flank wasn't doing him justice?

Shouldn't you be off making threads appreciating opposition players season ending injuries?
Nothing Jones ever does will impress GL.

Yeah he is been in quite good form. Although he is not getting payed any respect by his opponents atm. How else can someone so slow get in so much space every week?
But good luck to him, and keep up the defensive pressure Rojo.

Maybe Rojo has more footy smarts than people give him credit for.You don't have to be fast to get a lot of space if you read the footy and you know where to run it makes the game a lot easier. :)
