Liam Jones.
He'll be an in next week. I reckon he'll replace Phillips.

:
Can already see the endless posts in the post match thread, after he does sweet FA. Not part of our future, would only play him if we have n other options.

Ahead of Kruezer or Casboult?
Can't see it myself.

I suspect it won't be instead of Kreuzer or Casboult, but it may well mean one of the young guns gets a rest!

I know what you mean, but given we are a bit short on ruckmen, Levi is our only viable forward, our kids got belted last week, and then this is the comment about his game in the VFL from the coach:
Quote:Liam Jones
Stats: 10 disposals, 25 hitouts, 7 tackles, 5 inside 50s
From the coach: I thought he was our best player on the day, especially given we had a job to do on the VFL’s best ruckman in Nick Meese which he more than accomplished. He competed his socks off and his follow-up was like an on-baller.
I reckon you just have to reward the effort, particularly when he has been played as a tall defender, and can pinch hit up forward when Levi goes in the ruck.
Lets not forget, who we are playing against. Sydney have a lot of talls who we dont have good match ups for and Liam Jones has been tried in defense of late. If he is useless there, he can go into the ruck, and we can leave Rowe with Tippett.

Could Jones offer an option for Buddy? Can't see any of our bigger defenders being anywhere near fast or smart enough to cover him.

Nice idea but jones doesn't strike me as a smart footballer. In fact I'd prefer to bring paul bower out of retirement instead of jones. ????
If jones does play (unlikely) I'd guarantee it wouldnt be on Franklin

A damming reflection on Jones being compared and seen inferior to Bower in terms of nous....nervous defender as a description didnt adequately cover Bower.
Jones has actually looked alright down back in the NB's and dare I say it ... looked reliable... :o

jeffy has just shown how much he doesn't know about the game.

Oh please! Clearly I was taking the p155. ????
If you think jones will play on franklin you've got rocks in your head. He may well come in but it won't be to play on their number 1 forward unless he runs on ball.
