Been Dropped

Been Dropped

Don’t think that necessarily means it isn’t just a case of being rested for this game.

Pretty much black and white it says he has been dropped simple as that

It is from a reporter though not official club language. We will see if he lines up for footscray or not.

I Reckon they would have a pretty good idea let’s not pretend that Bevo is not afraid on making the hard calls on team selection

Surely Jones is sore and not just dropped

It's great that we have the balls to do it

He has been shocking the last 3 weeks

Hopefully he can reset and get his judgement back

 

[Turtleman3]

Not too often an established player get dropped after a 70 point win.

 

[Pencil case]

Might be an unpopular opinion and I love everything Jones has done for the club, but he’s been a real liability this season.

He is coming back from injury and I hope he finds his elite form in the VFL, but I think dropping him for Buss is a great call by the selection committee.

He’s not been at his best but ‘shocking’ is a bit much. He’s still the defender I’d want in a one-on-one aerial contest.

Drop off started back end of last year

 

[iambrilliant]

Love the buss debut, but it’s very brave to drop jones this week

 

[Libba39]

Jones has been out of form but we don't exactly have tall defenders who can match the best forwards for speed on a lead. He was the only one...

 

[MaxiBont]

I find it weird that they would drop him for the Giants and not the Saints. I thought he was fine last week (even though Saints were awful).

Giants only have Brown who has speed and I expect he'll be dropped because he was tactical subbed last week.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

I agree Jones has been down but he has a lot of credits in the bank, plus we are down on talls. That's why I suspect it's more than simply dropped, but maybe

Have you seen his one on one contests this year?

Good call to drop him imo

 

[MaxiBont]

In - Buss, Harmes, VDM
Out - Darcy (inj), McNeil (inj), Jones (omitted)

[Doggies7]

Omitted and emergency so purely a form issue for Jones unfortunately. Hopefully can find some form at Footscray and make his way back in.

[Ted's Robot]

What did Jones do wrong against the saints? I thought he played well.

Lobb first for me

 

[maddog37]

Lobb first for me

Thought Lobb was pretty poor last week. Constant turnovers.

JOD to play back? He did go to FB during the pre-season

 

[JohnnySteel]

Glad Hynes kept his spot even though he is likely to be sub. These string of games will be valuable for him.
