Does keeping players around who aren't up to it stifle the development of the next generation? What position does Jones play, who would we play instead?

You people are toxic. What exactly do you support the club for? To see 22 strangers stand on a dais in matching jumpers? Or to form some kind of connecction with the people who represent the club. Regardless of whether Jones stays, he deserves better than the sh*t in here after carrying us on his shoulders for five sh*t years.
This is really the critical issue. If his presence on the list is denying someone their share of development opportunities then retaining him is probably not the greatest idea. If his absence leaves a hole we can’t fill yet, retaining him is a good idea.Does keeping players around who aren't up to it stifle the development of the next generation?

Hard for me to answer this because I don't really know what role Jones was supposed to play. I'd rather the club backed in one of Hunt, Spargo, Hannan, ANB, Rivers or someone.I don't get the Jones is selfish and has been gifted games over the last 2 years talk. Who did he keep out of the squad, the immortal Corey Wagner?PLAYERCARDSTART34Corey Wagner

Sadly agree. He's not gonna get much midfield time anymore and isn't much chop outside the guts. Too old to reinvent himself somewhere else, probably.Hard for me to answer this because I don't really know what role Jones was supposed to play.

Yeah, I think calling him selfish is over the line. Feel like it's easier for players who have had some fulfilment (flags etc.) in their career to step away. Can't begrudge Jones for wanting to be around for some success after all the tough years.I don't get the Jones is selfish and has been gifted games over the last 2 years talk.

It does seem that he is finished, he was super durable early in his career, but body seems cooked last couple of years. Should hopefully pick up some payers who can offer more next year this offseason.
Agree there's some spuds there.Sadly agree. He's not gonna get much midfield time anymore and isn't much chop outside the guts. Too old to reinvent himself somewhere else, probably.Those you've listed aren't much chop themselves but have some flexibility and scope to improve with consistent games. Not so for Nathan, sadly.

Are you really disappointed that he is going to keep some kid who would have been drafted in the rookie draft with no exposed form for 12 months off the list?Hardly surprising.
Let's hope his experience and leadership helps us finish outside the 8 again next year
