Not for me they weren't. Got divorced, went bust, my eldest boy wound up in gaol. Came good in the 70s though.

apparently he is an explosive beast!... but struggles with endurance... fevola style body types have become pretty unfashionable in the modern game. I don't know how teams have beaten Jones in the past but it seems that the way to beat a bloke like that is to run off him and expose him the other way. Then they get puffed and can't be explosive sitting on the bench...
The pointy end of the ground is the place to have the "explosive" players. Under malthouse we have gone from having explosive smalls (Betts and Garlett) to an explosive tall. If you are going to use your lack of endurance tickets on somebody, it might as well be a tall who can control the airspace and take marks. This is malthouse building his team balance, and why he is working with Jones to get his marking right... (there is no room is a team for tall's who can't mark
)

Don't see it myself. Maybe if he wore a German Helmet and said "I know nothing!".........maybe.

Someone dropped something on his head... the people who checked him out spotted a fried dumpling nearby.

I did! I stopped short of using the words Ricky Mott but I did use the words Lindsay Smith!
Jones had a s**t run under McCartney style and selection. He often had to get kicks up half back wing cuz he could burn off usually the opposition best defender. Watch the doggies vs pies game last year on afl smart replay where jones kicked four goals, massive run down tackles, and then BM dropped him within two weeks.apparently he is an explosive beast!... but struggles with endurance... fevola style body types have become pretty unfashionable in the modern game.

I wish the guy well and like how Malthouse has got behind him.
I see Jones in Coles about once a week. Not much for his fashion sense but if he can play then I'm all for him. Plus he seems to always be with some very nice looking gals...

Can confirm, Coles check out chick said Liam was buying the house down. She had never seen a shopper so explosive...
One problem though, the lady said Liam needs to work on the way he pushes the trolley. Ideally he should have his arms extended to the trolley handle, not pushing it with his chest.
