It was pointed out a while ago, he was there when he dad got assulted by Collingwood supporters after a game when he was younger. Don't think that would leave a great desire to head to us.
That happened right as I walked past. Never realised they were brothers. It was one of those things where at first look I imagine most thought Jones's Dad Started it. I know I initially did.

Yeah, it would be interesting if there is that kind of correlation.

I just reckon if we could keep our first for the draft and pick up a young player like him with our second it is something I would consider.

He is a Marley clone, with better ball use.

This would not surpize me. The way Z.Jones plays and acts on the field, dirty player, looks like a thug, he probably gets that from somewhere.

I subscribe to the theory that you don't get assaulted at the footy for no reason. But who knows.
It was a long time ago and I wasn't there so I can't really comment on that side. There's always two sides to a story. I just thought it was a interesting point that was brought up a little while ago.

It seems like the Demons are in the front seat to unite the brothers.

I think they will be asking for a late first/early second.

Surely West Coast bound.
I think we would be offering less than that, but it's pretty moot.

I reckon McGovern either stays with the Crows (who could be winning a flag this year) or goes to West Coast (though i hear Freo is making an offer as well). Dont think we would be much of a chance.

Yeah we only have a pick in the mid 30's to offer unless we trade our pick for a couple of mid first rounders. Even so, I'm not really keen to give up that anyway if we went down that path.

Mark Stevens on 7 just said we are keen on Mitch McGovern
I heard that segment and I think it got mixed up a bit. He was trying to get BT to talk about Lever and our interest in him, but he gave him nothing and went onto McGovern.

I reckon BT knows something he isn't saying.

My delistings for the end of the year:

- Jarryd Blair
- Ben Crocker
- Lachlan Keeffe
- Liam Mackie
- Adam Oxley
- Jackson Ramsay
- Ben Sinclair
- Travis Varcoe
- Jesse White

Mason Cox, Henry Schade and Josh Thomas officially on the senior list for 2018, Max Lynch and Mitch McCarthy retained as rookies.

Plan on 44 listed players for 2018, giving four free senior list spots and four rookie list spots going into the trade/free agency/draft period.

Hold fire on free agents, trades and mature agers, and do not re-draft any delistees.

Draft eight 18-year olds (including at least two 193cm+ key forwards) in the National and Rookie Drafts.

I think Crocker deserves another one-year deal for his showings in 2016, he needs to find some decent attributes to show off at AFL level though.
Blair agree
Keeffe agree
Mackie agree
Oxley - I don't see any benefit in delisting contracted players. I no club wants him, we should throw him on the rookie list
Ramsay - I don't think the club will get rid of him. One year deal.
Sinclair - I think deserves one more year to show he can remain fit and play senior footy.
Varcoe - Again, a one-year deal would be suitable but I'm not bothered if he stays or goes. He looks pretty cooked.

I would delist Lynch, Schade and controversially Smith, who I think is very basic and there is nothing to work with. Lynch and Schade haven't made enough progress imo and won't make it.
