Lake never really flew for marks in the backline. He pretty much used to just position himself at the drop of the ball and outbody his opponent and take an easy mark.
Yeah different players in lots of ways, Jones is more athletic, much quicker. I think it was 2 seasons ago when Jones was 1st or second in the league at one stage for contested marks, that year he was used in the ruck a lot and he out marked opponents all round the ground. So yes he can fly for marks but he's very good one out. I think he just needs to be behind the ball and he will be more comfortable. We need another key position back almost as much as key position forward. We have a guy who is a great athlete, big and can mark. He is just not a forward in my opinion, not at this stage anyway.
