AFL Player #23: Harrison Jones - God-tier Hands

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 22, Duckworth

I seriously think he would make a great defender. Mobile. Good leap. Tackles. Okay skills. Does not have to mark. Just spoil.

 

[Kong]

Jack Reiwoldt is the guy he should be trying to emulate. Jack wasn't the biggest forward going around by any measure.

But what a massive set of balls.

Harry needs bigger balls.

Unless he can grab the ball with his balls I think he would be better off with bigger hands.

Yeah I agree.

Not to mention the uncanny ability of defenders to mark the footy more easily than they would if they were playing forward.

Get him a pair of Sherrin sized Neuticles

Junk time Jones might be the greatest nickname of all time

It’s hard to read when your balls continually obscure your vision

I'm confused with him being flown up as precaution ?, he's lacking in confidence and I don't see how he recaptures that not playing at all.
Surely should have played in the VFL ?, how can he even be considered for selection next round when you don't have any indicators to go off as he was left out due to poor form ?

I'm with Ant on this one, I would play him as a key back in the VFL and if he shows that he can play the role I would have him ahead of Laverde, I think there's a player there.

Maybe he's also nervous about flying?

I feel like this club is elite at drafting mediocre key forwards and turning them into good key defenders. Would be great if we could just draft a key forward that actually works out. The best we've managed over the past 20 years is Daniher who was a free kick/FS and doesn't really actually play as a key fwd anyway. Ironically I reckon Hooker who was a good key defender could have been a great key fwd had he spent the majority of his career there.

Agree although key forwards are a hard beast when it comes to drafts and a few sides that have won recent flags have imported their KP forwards via FA or trade rather than drafting them.
Collingwood. No real top end KPF.
Geelong. Hawkins F/S Cameron FA
Melbourne . Brown via North. Jackson via draft. McDonald via draft.
Richmond. Jack via draft and Lynch via trade.
Eagles Kennedy via trade and Darling via draft.
Bulldogs had Boyd via trade.
There have been just as many fails for KPF in the top 10 as success stories.

Jones may come back into the side this week with 2MP out

TBH, I don't think he deserves to be called up. Barely had a touch last outing.

Give Caddy a go, can't do any worse.

I just remember you going through a stage where you kept posting about men's balls.

hell give him a 4 year contract

Best game since 21

9 marks, 2 goals. Brilliant stuff.

 

[andleanback]

Took his opportunity and was one of our best. Kept us in the game when we were playing horrid. Proud of the boy

 

[VexOh]

Game, son.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Great game! He always provides the follow up effort once it hits the deck but today he threw himself at every aerial contest like 21 too.

 

[andleanback]

9 marks, 2 goals. Brilliant stuff.

Not even the stats his 2nd efforts and ability to get in late to half the contest

 

[quotemokc]

Played his role well, we don't need him taking deep contested marks in order to hold his spot.

His presence up the ground is noticeable and very important to our structure and providing an outlet.
