Welcome to the Bulldogs Arthur Jones

[Dav1d]

Moves a lot like JJ in the highlights

Kicks better though

I'm sure if you put a package together JJ would have nailed some crackers. Setting up Bont in the prelim against GWS comes to mind.

 

[Th3 DoG FaTh3R]

I'm usually a little more discerning to be won over but that interview and the above comments from Shane Sheridan just give good vibes, how could you not like the kid.
Arthur Jones welcome.
Excited to see your journey.

 

[Pugz89]

You've probably summed him up nicely - presence and energy. He's one of those people that people just want to be around. 100% positive energy and always, always smiling and happy. Hadn't seen Arthur for about 15/16 months since he left our school, went to watch him play in July/August this year. This is the kid summed up, he spotted me at the huddle, broke away, came over and gave me a hug and thanked me for coming to watch him play. He is impossible to not like.

Might be hard for you to answer, but how do you think he'll go moving to Vic and living in an unfamiliar environment?

 

[Th3 DoG FaTh3R]

And from a purely football point of view, the attributes his highlights show, would fit nicely in our front half. Speed, tackling, pressure, a lovely goal from a well timed crumb and that side step.

 

[Some Idiot]

Love a bit of speed and x-factor.

He definitely put it in Bonts path to goal but maybe not the best example, he didn't hit him lace out, but that passage of play is true Bulldogs folklore now.

Think he'll be fine, level headed kid, strong family, gets along with everyone. He came to us from the country halfway through Year 10. Week in was like he had been with us since day 1. He got poached from us by a PSA school a Term into year 11 and was immediately a leader there. With us for less than a year, made quite an impact on a lot of people.

Wow. He's fast! And, love the old school name too.

Thanks for the insight. Hope he goes well! Do you know of any nicknames he has?

 

[Leon]

Thrilled with this pick.

 

[Chicago1]

One of my favourite movies. Can he become one of my favourite players???

 

[NBates]

I was thinking more along the lines of Arthur Fleck - a bit of a joker with killer instinct

 

[Wetdog]

Super excited! Awesome!

[hatescaptcha]

With a tank like that he is probably destined for the wing. Definitely can see the brad hill comparisons. Seems like a really driven and great kid. Teammates will love him.

It's a welcoming sight how Dogs are investing into their Aboriginal talent pathways

Arthur looks like he could be a gun at the feet of Naughton and Marra

Might have to fight off Cody Weightman

[bobs head soup]

Very exciting.

Whenever I see an Arthur I first think of this guy (the crazy world of Arthur Brown);

 

[ossie_21]

Arthur Morgan stiff to not be mentioned yet

I'd say Arthur plays higher up the ground. Second in the combine time trial in WA and shows real evasiveness in traffic - dare I say it, Harbrow like.

Can see him playing off a HFF and eventually taking a wing

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Have we ever drafted anyone that weighs 65 kgs or less I doubt it. Looks like plenty of weight sessions coming up.

Not that I can think of (Caleb was 68kg) but we've had some very skinny blokes. Dom Bedendo was a lanky bugger.

Can someone post the articles about why Jonesy knocked back a spot on the West Coast Eagles NGA squad?

He didn’t understand the contract so he never signed it
