View Full Version : Chad Jones.
With talk of Wooden being put onto the L/T injury list or possibly retiring is Cojo a chance of being promoted quickly and possibly playing against the Saints this week?
He's had an awesome 6 weeks in the WAFL. His form must be rewarded soon.
Also, should be we play him at CHF or play Lynch at CHF and put him in the goal square?
Lynch takes a mark
19 Jun 2007, 10:37
Lynch is great up the ground and would really benefit from having a real target to kick to in the forward line
Jones to FF
Lynch to CHF

Lynch to CHF would improve his impact on the game 10 fold! Its a move i really want to see and with a target to go to on Chad Jones in the f50 it might finaly see us het our goals a more conventional way. Kick, mark, goal. Instead of handpass, handpass, bomb it in long, rove, handpass, snap from boundary. Wooden has been a real honest servent for the club but in reality he will never play again with these young guys coming through (rosa, priddis, hurn) so lets give chad jones a go and see if we finaly have a full forward to kick to! Go the Eagles!!!!!!!!!!!
We'd be hoping for mark mark goal though right ;) So lynch actually gets the ball first. I really have not had a look at his delivery into 50, any opinions? Hope he doesnt just try to bomb it in every ball, like some of the others.

Good call, don't get me wrong he is dominating, but is only the wafl and the standard of that comp is light years away from the afl, plus i think he needs a bit more bulk to play full foward in the afl.

Lynch's delivery from outside 50 is actually not that bad.

Well from what I heard on the news last night from John Worsfold, and knowing how much he downplays everything that happens, I'd say he's in for sure! I hope so...I'd love to see Lynch leading further up the ground!!!
What would that do for Ash Hansen though?!?! :eek: Trade bait maybe...providing the experiment works of course!

It was a rule written up by the afl to stop the west coast eagles from dominating so much :p
ohhh and trade hansen and put hurn in there ( as he might not get a game in the back line with everyone comming back )
I would love to see hurn roaming over half forward and booming it in.

Hansen's a first teamer mate, Jones is hopefully a late bloomer who could add a bit of depth to the key forward stocks.
Put 6 years of work into Hansen too, I'd rather keep him!
Out of interest, when was the last time we had a set of brothers line up together?
Does it go back to the 2002 final against Essendon with Roo and Fido or am I forgetting someone obvious?

You do still have to go back and kick the goals though..
He was on the kangaroos list for a while so I guess that going back to the wafl would be going back in another direction.
I do have a prediction for Lynch- If he kicks 6 or more in the next 2 weeks, He will go on to win the coleman. Farfetched as it may seem, thats just the player he is..
If he can just pull his kicks back just 1 metre, he would have at least kicked 30.
Jones at full forward does look enticing. Lets just hope he doesn't get injured like Brad Smith.

Sure the WAFL would be easier but would he be getting the delivery he will if he plays AFL footy? Also maybe a bit easier to kick goals on the larger stadiums.
Emerald
19 Jun 2007, 17:19
I think it's worth giving him a go, sounds as if he can kick straight at least.
It would be a bonus if he really turns it on for us, but not disappointing if he just fizzles.
Hansen was always rubbish at WAFL level. Hes done a 10th of what Cones has done in the WAFL and he goes good in the AFL. Cant hurt to give him a chance. We can afford to take the risk
It hasnt happened yet so whats the point of talking it up, how many Chad Jones threads do we need ?
And its very unlikely that they would automatically just put him in the team straight away.

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. People are getting ahead of themselves (trading Hansen?!), but if Jones was elevated this week you'd think he would be a better than even chance of playing against the saints. Brown's really only in the team at the moment for lack of alternatives I'd guess.

Actually there have been many cases of a player being upgraded and playing in the same week, it's often done to address an opening in the team that the player specifically fills such as Jones with Hansen out.
So, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY TO THAT MR. SMART MAN?!
You Bastard!

He wouldnt be upgraded unless hes slotting right into the 22. Why pay more wages/salary cap for no reason...

jeez juju, gotta lay off the roids, dude. why dont you go write a drew review for his boundary riding and calm down.
Out of interest, when was the last time we had a set of brothers line up together?

A couple of years ago we had both the Embleys in a pre-season game in Darwin. Other than that, yes the Materas would be the last.

As for the Chad Jones thingy, I'd be surprised if it did eventuate, although if there are injuries you never know what might happen. If they were to bring him in it would probably have to be in the coming weeks though. Trying to settle a forward structure late in a year tends to be a real shamozzle. And with the return of Embley, not to mention the immanent return of Cousins and Hansen in the latter stages, it would be difficult to pick a spot.
Personally I would like to see him get a run in one of the easier games, like the match against the Lions in a couple of weeks. It'd be one of the few opportunities.

and also lets face it, Hansen won't be back on time, you can always add 2-3 weeks to any Ash Hansen time frame.
Seems the reports are coming out that Wooden has been put on the long term injury list. Could be Chad's chance for an upgrade.

I heard words to that effect, but I also heard channel 9 (I think) half an hour later say that Wooden had been moved onto the injury list and chad jones was a "chance" to be elevated.
Meanwhile, rookie Chad Jones' chances of an AFL recall received a boost when forgotten midfielder Josh Wooden was placed on the club's long term injury list with a lingering hip complaint.
Jones has kicked 37 goals in his past seven matches for Claremont in the WAFL, including eight last week in a match-winning performance against East Perth.
Although the club has not yet elevated Jones to the senior list, there is speculation the 23-year-old former Kangaroo could receive a shock call-up for Sunday's clash against St Kilda at Subiaco Oval.
"Chad's form has certainly made us take note," Worsfold said.
"Generally we look at WAFL form as a very good indicator of where the players can play well if they step up into the AFL. Chad's form is good enough to do that."
Worsfold said he would use Jones out of the goal square should he receive a call-up this season.
I think in Woosha's language that he will play this week.
CHF Lynch
FF Cojo
Wouldnt it be nice if Lynch was accurate and Cojo kicked a few. It could become a massacre.

Here in lays the big difference between Cones Version Eagles and Cones Version Kangas. The Roos tried to play him as a CHF. Its the silliest thing ive ever heard off. Hes so bad below his knees. My mum would look more like a CHF then this bloke. He was always a FF. We knew this and we have had him playing at FF. This is the change between last and this year for Cones. Hes a FF at heart. Hope he gets a game this week
Once Hansen is fit he will be the relief player who just keeps leading up the ground - like he always has done. Lynch will start about 30m out and push up to CHF (50-60m from goal). Cojo will lead from the goalsquare.
But once we get our best 22 on the park which tall makes way for Cojo - thats a big IF he actually makes a SUSTAINED impact. Also with Graham getting back to some form it really does put alot of pressure on our tall stocks.
Its a tough one. Thoughts?
We could actually have a potent attack. Never thought id say that lol.

I didn't ask for a description, I was hoping someone may offer to restrain and/or detain you for a couple of weeks should Jones make a successful West Coast debut.
I must admit it's quite funny that Embers' previous knight in shining armour, Mitch Brown, is likely to be the player put to the sword for Chad Jones to come in.

Mitch will reclaim his place on top next season. Too early for him. For Cones though the skys the limit. Hes ready to rock right now!!!
If Cones kicks 6 you wont see me for a week. Ill be locked away in the bathroom with a box of tissues and a picture of Cones for a while.
If Cones does kick a bag, being his player sponsor, I'm going to take all the credit. Just so you all know.

He is a potential threat to Hansen more than Brown at the mo as he has a bit more footy nous and years in the AFL system he's been superb for Claremont
Cerpin Taxt
22 Jun 2007, 04:33
He seems to be a contested mark too, which is something we lack. Lynch and Hansen are both blue-collar forwards. Although you always want a player giving 100%, it'd be nice for someone with a bit more flair to play up forward for us. Someone that marks from a pack, or someone that has the ability to contest when the ball isn't delivered to their chest. I thought Staker was going to be that guy, but he doesn't position himself well enough. Having said that... his form this year is indicative that he might still reach this point.
