Yes, got 4 last week. Leg injury hampered him badly and was eventually subbed because of it.

Has talent
no drive
no hardness
no fitness
Just another rodgers pick..

He hasn't played 50 games yet In the hardest position On the field in the most dysfunctional forward line with the slowest ball movement in the comp.
Geez.

Tex was a 50 goal forward 4-5 years back…remember the hanger on Carlisle Bumbers at the G?
WTF have we turned him into?….under Ratts he was a run and gunn half forward doing major damage now he's been transformed to a hesitant running half back going sideways….Sheeesh we farked up some good players over the last 8-10 years…we've ripped out the soul of a bunch of attacking players with flair….makes we want to weep

To be honest, I'd play him in defence for a while to get some form. It has worked well for him in the past.
Unfortunately it leaves a forward line looking vacant. Levi isn't doing a lot and Jones is a waste of space.
I think we should drop Jones and play Jaksch up forward. Cant do ant worse than Jones who is a witches hat out there

They have gotten a bit older and either lost a yard or the new lot have gotten quicker. 4 years is a long time in football. Ask lance whitnall.

Or played in the wrong spot.

Jones needs to be tried as a true defender. Make him work and really work hard tagging a forward target. If at worst he breaks even he has done a job, and stopped us from being belted. If he fails he needs to go. He has minimal talent and has nothing else to offer. Maybe we can build a backline from our forward line and SOS can bring in the forwards we really need.
