Just looking at his highlights package (always a danger I know) but looks like he has a little bit of pace? Seems to have run down a few and get separation on the lead - ball drop looks o.k. from limited footage, and seems to have good penetration. A couple of nice grans in there too. Is the...

Is Jones one of those guys we get that looks the goods, seems like he should be great, but at the end of the day was struggling to get a game at a crap club? I want to get excited about getting him, but not sure which way to go?

Who now??? Just kidding - he looks o.k. as a defender but the shocked look on his face (rather than an "I own you!" strut) when he kicked that goal against us has me a little concerned. Try swapping hands. :p Busy business and shitty life have kept me away from the keyboard, but I keep tabs...

Hey folks! What chance are we of getting someone that can consistently hit a target by hand or foot under pressure at this pick?

Yeah this one really snuck up on us - who would have thought he could play CHF?? :cool: PS - Waite played his best footy for us as a defender - straight swap IMO. :)

Just watching the WCE game for the third time :D and something occurred to me re Hampson and his marking outside the F50 - he often seems to bat the ball down with two open hands rather than try to mark it and often lobs it right into the waiting arms of a loitering mid. I guess my question is...

I know.......that's why I said FWIW. I think Malthouse likes the look of Hendo and Jammo down back and probably feels he can build a solid defence around those two - and I don't disagree, but why are we trying to "create" a forward out of a ruck (Hampson), or defender (Laidler) when we have one...

:eek: Fevola and Dunstall send their regards. Good to see I can go away for a while and come back, and things haven't really changed. FWIW, Hendo to CHF.......it's were he belongs. The arguements against his body strength - it doesn't seem to be an issue in defence.......are the defenders...

Disagree. Hampson didn't know which way to run........and still marks like that. IMO looks more like Kennedy Circa 2006. Gets to all the right spots, glimpses of quality, just need some strength and confidence in those arms and body. Hopefully Tippett comes in and pushes him out of the side, he...

Hijacked account. Just ignore. :D

I hope Yazz saw what Motlop just did.

They need to amend the ducking into a tackle rule. It will only affect one player. I want Reid. Wantwantwantwantwantwantwant!!!!!!!!!

Waite will get over his calf injury, return, look average for a couple of weeks, dominate in patches while we go on a mini winning streak then get suspended or injured just before a crucial game. He'll return 4-6 weeks later just in time for do or die games to make the 8, a narrowly avoid...

Awww shucks......you missed me.

We are screaming out for a big forward that can hit packs hard, take a grab and kick long goals. We got Hendo for that reason. Confidence was down early and I have no issue with him playing down back to get it. He seems to have got it now. We have White, Watson, Laidler..........if Malthouse can...
