So paying attention to your opponent, instead of just ignoring them, is what is "tagging" these days?

I saw him put his body on the line quite a few times on Sat and tackled very well also. He has definitely upped his physicality towards the contest, whether that is due to instruction or not I don't care, he may well make me look like an absolute dill yet.
I agree but 18 pos. just isn't enough. Zak Jones had 31.

Jones is 24, in his sixth season with 76 games under his belt. SPS is 21, in his third season. Patience grasshopper, SPS is coming along very nicely IMO

Agree, SPS has made some big strides forward this year so far and seems to be playing a much more prominent role. I am optimistic about him.

That last piece was genuine, off script and says a lot about the guy and how he approaches his football. Happy to have him in my team!
Re: If Not BB, Who? - madbluboy - 04-10-2019
Jones was good last year, full back is difficult position when you lose by 10 goals every couple of weeks.
I was mocked for this last year but go back and have a look at SOS's record when we got pumped.

Agree. He interviews much the same way as he plays football. Decent, humble, ethical and just plain old nice.

Carlton defender Liam Jones has leaked just three goals this season

Liam Jones’ obsession with studying vision and researching opponents has emerged as the key to his rebirth as one of the game’s stingiest defenders.
The Carlton full-back has conceded just three goals this season after extended duels with Richmond’s Jack Riewoldt, Port Adelaide’s Paddy Ryder and Sydney’s Lance Franklin.
Jones polled two coaches votes for his negating performance on Franklin, where he mixed sharp closing speed, smart body contact and desperation to beat the eight-time All-Australian in several one-on-ones.
