It can be whatever we want it to be!
I'd say so, bit disappointing but he'll be fine once the fitness is up.He would be a fair way off AFL selection then I presume
Might be next year if this is where he's atI'd say so, bit disappointing but he'll be fine once the fitness is up.
Hope he plays tonight.
Don't think we will need to wait that long, not a guy of his talent.Might be next year if this is where he's at
That would be a good start, although with his fitness levels we might see more.Would be good to see Jones get a few games, hopefully he can achieve what Milera did in his first season who managed 8 games in his first year, nothing fantastic just a good grounding
Statistically 2016 he was down and 2018.2017, our GF year, and just 1 season back, he finished top 5 in the best and fairest. Very close to 3rd
Hard to say he’s cooked or he’s been in decline for a couple of years
That would be a good start, although with his fitness levels we might see more.
Fitness is important, it allows you to play at a higher level.Personally I don't see fitness as the important factor in gaining more games, Milera was playing SANFL footy the previous year against men, but more importantly to gain more than 8 games if he had played better he would have got them, but it was only his first year at the top level so as with Jones performance will determine how many games he gets along with how the side is travelling, 2016 wasn't a bad year so Milera did very well to get 8 games, 2017 was a great year so probably hindered Galluci's game time, 2018 was a s**t year so helped those 1st year players, what will this year bring?
When Sauces back went so did ROBs shoulder, then Hunter not long after.
We would have given ROB games last year if we could have, there's no question about it.
I was being creative with my wordings, I remembered it was cold and wet. Checked the temperature forecast on that date - 10 degrees (Friday 7/7/17). Here was a pic found of Thommo in his last game.

Gee, am I being totally delusional recalling it a wet, slippery kind of game? Anyone can be ****en rude, it ain’t hard dick head!
I sometimes used descriptive/creative wordings and I’m being picked on as stating matter of facts by the usual crew. We are merely discussing opinions. No obvious right or wrong here.
Sheesh I was making a reply from memory recall with a bit of creative imagination thrown in.So now it's about coldness? And you're now saying you were being creative with language, so you were writing fiction? You said;
“a rain-soaked, lake-like setting where hardly anyone was looking clean” and
"everyone slipping and sliding like a kid’s playground"
I offered up some support "you could describe conditions as a bit slippery" and despite now agreeing with me (although adding in how cool it was like that's now important), you've gotten very angry and resorted to hurtful insults despite ending up exactly where I started. Maybe be a bit less creative with your language and we can avoid such angst going forward.
So you bullshitted and then dug in, then you bullshitted about claiming to have never said we were ruthless with Thommo.Sheesh I was making a reply from memory recall with a bit of creative imagination thrown in.
There was rain, it was wet, there were slipping involved. How is it my comments were to the point of falsifying and delusional?
Ok, might be a little exaggerated...but, whoopdee doo da! Lol
You mentioned lack of ruthlessness and I thought there was some regarding Thommo's non-selection. These are opinions only.So you bullshitted and then dug in, then you bullshitted about claiming to have never said we were ruthless with Thommo.
You might want to consider why you’ve been picked up if this is the quality of your posting
It’s more than that, you actually then denied saying we were ruthless with Thommo, even today you’ve tried to bullshit about what you said. Now you’ve admitting to bullshitting about the conditions that night.You mentioned lack of ruthlessness and I thought there was some regarding Thommo's non-selection. These are opinions only.
Everything else we talked about were just extra fillers in the whole scheme of things.
I guess to bring it back on topic the gist was that in my views, the club is showing signs they're not afraid to blood new youngsters (Crouch, Greenwood etc) if it means at the expense of a veteran (eg. Thommo). So really, Jones/McHenry are strong chances to play if Mackay and Dougy are deemed to be in decline at Thommo's rate in 2016-2017.
Need and want to see a few more games in Jones and Dougy to make better judgment calls on who is the more potential in Finals situations.
My memory was at the end of the previous season at the exit interview with Pyke, Thommo was told he not going to be guaranteed selections in the firsts. Thommo chose to go around again.It’s more than that, you actually then denied saying we were ruthless with Thommo, even today you’ve tried to bullshit about what you said. Now you’ve admitting to bullshitting about the conditions that night.
Here’s a tip, if you don’t know what you’re talking about you don’t need to comment let alone double down when you’re called out.
Thommo should not have been given an option, he should have been told he wasn’t getting a contractMy memory was at the end of the previous season at the exit interview with Pyke, Thommo was told he not going to be guaranteed selections in the firsts. Thommo chose to go around again.
He suffered an injury during preseason and was no chance to be selected in the first few rounds anyway. When he did come back he was racking up biggish numbers in the 2's. When the Bulldogs game came around and he was selected his contribution was 4 possessions (2 clangers). He looked like his role was to plod around and act like a bollard.
The 2's were pretty inexperienced that season, so having Thommo helping organise them could be seen as a benefit. Or maybe he was just taking game time away and impeding the development of 1 of the young fellas ..?
Probably, maybe that could've been considered ruthless ..? I am under no illusions that Thommo was dealt with in a ruthless mannerThommo should not have been given an option, he should have been told he wasn’t getting a contract
Thommo should not have been given an option, he should have been told he wasn’t getting a contract
How can you complain about being competitive and yet agree with gifting seasons to players who won’t play?Your a tough man, for a stalwart of the club looking for loyalty maybe that's why we lose soo many not showing loyalty back
