Traded Liam Jones (#943)

[Chris Grant]

Agree, I find him very funny. I'd like to see him more in the media.

Jones is being recognised for his improved form this year: Big Dog stepping up

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Coming equal 4th in contested marks this season and equal 9th in marks inside 50.

One of the shining lights this season so far. Fingers crossed he can keep it up.

 

[doggies ftw]

Equal 9th in marks inside 50 is pretty impressive, considering we had, what, 4 today?

 

[Snarls Barkley]

He has taken 13 marks inside 50. 5 against the Tiges, 4 against the Cats and 1 against each of the others. The club has taken 45 marks as a whole, equal lowest with GWS.

Cloke has taken 30.

That's very impressive considering our ball skills and ball movement are not great.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

It's scary to think how good he will be when our ball movement is faster and more accurate.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Jones reminds me a lot of a combination of Nick Riewoldt and Jay Schulz. Going to be a good player.

 

[Cudi]

I thought he played well and worked pretty hard yesterday, his marking is elite.

 

[doggies ftw]

Only problem I have with him is he always takes it on the chest rather than out in front, it seems to work for him well enough but it is much better to be taking them on the hands. Mooney knows this though as he said it in the first quarter, so as long as he is continuously told to take them out in front he should be all good.

 

[Werewolf]

Jones is up to 31 contested marks this year, second only to Travis Cloke (34)

 

[timtamWB]

That's extremely good, and i'd argue the fact Cloke gets a lot better service from the midfield as well. Massive wraps on the kid, he'll be good for us.

 

[Some Idiot]

Didn't touch the ball in the 2nd half. God I love what he's capable of but...
I sincerely hope we will see a Liam Jones with a decent tank sometime in the near future.

 

[Werewolf]

He took a few ruck contests in the 2nd half. Not sure why, he was going well as a forward

give Minno a rest and allow Roughie to stay at the backline

Will would have needed a chop out and we had no one else.

His first half was great, second not so good, but he was stuffed because he worked so hard in the first, next year with another preseason and hopefully a partner up forward which he desperately needs, and we will start to see the best of him.

 

[Dazb86]

Last week should be his base game. If he does that every week he'll be a solid player.

Just hoping Jones gets a game this weekend. I am however liking what Macca is doing with the players. If they are not performing then they play reserves not to be punished but to work on other areas of there game.
Can't really remember a game of any level when Jones kicked 6 goals. Always marked well but never really dominated and kicked a bag. Hopefully he comes out this week playing alongside Grant, Campbell, Gia, Dicko and Dal and stars.

Also bit disappointed Jones didn't get named in the All indigenous side against Ireland. He played for them against Richmond. Thought having him and Buddy as the tall forwards would be good.

 

[Zgope1]

just thought i'd whip up some highlights of my favourite player.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

I've been critical of Jones, but I'm happy to balance that with praise when it is due. He was very good last week.

The tackle on Young at 1:10 was nuts. He was absolutely hauling arse.

If Jones hadn't brought him down he would have popped it onto the chest of Cloke who was leading full pelt at him and had opened up a big gap on Roughead. Mark that down as a goal saving tackle.
