Welcome Lachlan Jones - Pick #16 2020 National Draft (match NGA bid)

[It Just Is]

So excited for what Jones will bring over his career. I think he’ll be a favorite across the whole league with his physicality and no fu**s approach.

A big part of the rise of the front running, knock on, phone box handballing sh*t in the game is because there is no longer a physical price to pay. Someone like Jones who can and will legally hurt players for doing that is an asset and a god send.

The Bute Brute. Love him already.

He looks the typical old-style, no-fuss Port Adelaide Magpies player of the 70's and 80's .... looking forward to watching his career unfold.

Beast of a debut

 

[RangaInTeal]

Great disposal - Negative
1 vs 3, debut, beaten - Negative
Second, Third, Fourth, Tenth efforts - Bread and Butter
Port Adelaide - Through and through!

 

[PJ Power]

Terrific debut. Occasional fumble and clanger, but every time worked hard to redeem himself. Super effort

 

[TeeKray]

Played like he knows he belongs out there. No fear, no hesitation. Excellent start.

Loges

We knew the defensive aspects were there. Best thing for me was seeing him adjust almost in real time to the speed of disposal required at this level. For a bigger body to do that in game one is a bloody good sign.

His grand kids stayed up to watch, so they will be there too!

The effort in the final quarter in the defensive 50 when he was outnumbered, only to win the ball and to make the right disposal - it was amazing for a first gamer.

Clearly going to make the grade. Needs to clean up his disposal a touch but there's plenty to like about him.

Best thing I like about him is that you know he is not going to shirk a contest. He's an enforcer - and you need those types across the ground, particularly in September.

Amazing seeing a first gamer make players nervous!

And he didn't even lay one tackle, according to the stats.

Fabulous first game. Was a definite highlight of the night.

He and SPP have a Hardwick, Pickett, Carr, Wilson feel about them! Going to enjoy watching the two of them strut their stuff throughout the years to come

That’s because the opposition kept dropping the ball as soon as they saw him approaching. No need to tackle

Yeah well next time he’ll rip Dusty’s arm off instead of getting sucked into allowing the fend-off
