Never saw what all the fuss was about to be honest.

Not one of our better picks, just watching Jono play VFL one would expect him to dominate that level but he just seems to go through the motion just no urgency at all.

 

[Big Hotdog]

He's just had a bad few years


I reckon Jono would know his fate.

When you watch him you just wonder what attributes made him get selected at Pick 2 in the draft.

I’d say he had a couple of plays today where his burst speed was noticeable outside of his usual output.
I was quite surprised.

I still think 1 more season, even as a rookie possibly.

It was a weak draft. Also I remember pre-draft they had their rankings of players and he was above average in a lot of areas but elite in none.

Injuries have hampered his development no doubt but pre-injuries he was nothing special compared to some elite juniors that come through.

Not the first nor the last top pick that doesn't make it though.

posted in the BHH thread he is playing with a groin injury, he did hurt it back in round 16 or 17 so perhaps he is playing out the year in an attempt to get another contract even though not 100%

Seems strange although injuries decimated him. Some guys like Ty Goldsack find a way to still make it work, others don't.

He has been unable to stay fit for a full season, unable to deal with niggles while playing, and unable to show his potential on the rare occasions that he's been fully fit. It's unfortunate.

He'd be more disappointed than any of us he hasn't been able to seize the opportunity to make it at AFL level with the Hawks.

But he's had more chances than most between GC and the Hawks.

In the end, he wasn't good enough.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Had less time on ground then usual.
Btw, those wondering how JOR ended up pick 2, it is important to know that it didn’t matter which player they chose at what number as they just threw darts at the board with smorgasbord of options at that time of their list managing.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Never rated him. Don't watch the VFL but would be surprised if he gets a gig next year

 

[sven_inc]

Give him another year. He's still got the goods but needs some help from his body.

We bang on about how good AR and the medical team are with injuries but JOR shows that everyone isnt perfect.

Get him fit over preseason and let him loose.

 

[Move P]

Can't believe people are asking for another year.

Definitely gone this year. No attributes to make it at AFL level.

He's a bit like Liam Shiels but without the durability, consistency and tackling.

 

[MrPremiership]

Seemed to be trying real hard, but just a tad slow in body and mind.

Big call from a list management perspective coming up....

 

[Hollarmarshall]

He’s playing wing, half forward due to a sore groin. Keeping him out of the guts to nurse him through to hopefully a grand final. If it wasn’t finals he’d most likely have a week off.

He went toe to toe against O'meara in 1 junior game.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

In an offseason where there is potential for a lot of change, you'd have to think both he and Willsmore are all but finished at Hawthorn now.

Depends.

Already a few short with Tyrone and Cyril gone.

Heatherley is done. Roughy might move on. Schoey and Duryea FA.

Can't cut too many.

 

[Billyc]

He has resigned himself to being delisted.

Pretty sure he's playing tomorrow. If he can finish the year full of running and injury free then there's the smallest glimmer. Doesn't look likely though, hasn't shown much fight on field so far.

When you lose JOM and your name isnt even considered as a possible replacement shows you where you are on the pecking order
