Past Zak Jones - traded 2019, to Saints

[Heeney2Franklin]

he makes alot of mistakes, but gosh he has a turn of speed which he uses beautifully (cough cough gaz)...i can only imagine how good he will be when he adds a few kgs....top 3 mid is not beyond reason

He doesn't have the strength yet to push through tackles and gets caught HTB a lot, he does make a lot of mistakes but i think you take the good and the bad with Jones.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

He'll be more influential than Mitchell in two years. Sign him.

Probably wont reach the level, but i can see him being a dangerfield type...powerful , speedy mid

My tarot cards indicated a signature is coming very soon. The lady up the road is very good also so it's looking like a good week

Jones doesn't have the genuine speed of someone like Rohan and he's not quick in decision making either. He also tends to do the same trick (charge forward) every time so he's predictable and gets caught too often.

The guy is a solid and courageous player who's willing to put his body on the line but I doubt he's ever going to be a star like hanners, parker, mills, heeney, jpk etc and should be paid accordingly. As much as I like the guy I wouldn't like to see the Swans pay overs for him. We never paid overs for Mitchell and that was a decision that spoke volumes about the level-headedness of the Swans recruiting staff. We need to get best bang for the buck, always.

I agree he's probably gone. The even nature of this year's competition will lead a lot of clubs to look for ready made players to get them a few goals closer each game but we have the talent on board already and should focus on draft picks and developing our NEAFL players as much as possible in the next year or two.

I know Mills gets a lot of love on here and I reckon he'll be a star too but based on what we've seen so far in their careers at similar stages, I would take Jones over Mills.

I can't believe I just read that. Mills will be the next number 14 to Captain the club. Jones is all over the place at times, don't get me wrong, but he can cost

But neither will be Aliir will they caesar88

 

[Superstar swan]

Jones has had alot more opportunity to "show off".Mills is undersized, out of position and has become our best intercept mark.If it were a choice between keeping mills or jones, if fly over myself and pack zacs bags for him

There are some weird people on here

I just think Mills can still look out of place at times. He's a great read of the play and an excellent intercept mark but apart from that I don't quite get the fuss. Worthy Rising Star winner and a gun no doubt but we have better kids and Jones is one of them IMO

You've certainly got some curious ideas but hey, I respect your right to a flat earth

Yikes!

Jones has taken 3 years to get to where he is. In and out of the team

Mills was a best 22 his first year, all year

I love the way mills intercept marks and against GWS was positioned behind the play for his ability to read the play.

They are different players with different roles

Can I have both? =)

If you think Jones is better than Mills you should probably see yourself out.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Mills is McLeod, James Hird class. Jones is more Sam Mitchell. Nothing wrong with either one but Mills just oozes quality.

Jones will finish higher than Mills in our best and fairest quite comfortably FWIW

Was also rushed into finals finals last year, and I'm pretty sure this year has been his first with a preseason

Besides that, He has been best 22 since his first year (wth CheapCharlie?)

Regardless of how good he actually is right now, we'd do well to pay up and see how good he becomes and enjoy his prime for many years to come

I think you're wrong about his pace and decision making.... big time.

Come on it's not that crazy a logic. Jones has had some outstanding games where he's been in our best 3 or 4 players in the side. More than Mills has had anyway. It's not like i'm saying Mills is crap, i love em both I just rate Jones more.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Comparing apples with oranges, they're two completely different players with a different style of play. While they're both extremely promising, they're yet to reach the peak of their powers...whatever that may be!

Have you tried putting sheets to cover all your mirrors? If that works then you need to sit dôwn........I have some unsettling news for you
