Rowes best season.... but how many more does he have?
Jones could potentially hold down a KPD spot for 6 years.
If you wanna trade someone, trade Jones.
Rowe > Jones....yes even if he does have less years left.
We already have Marchbank, Plowman, Macreadie, Weitering to hold down the key forwards of the future. Jones is already behind all of them.

Catch 22 To get any value for Jones we would have to play him in the 1's. Having said that I'm sure a few teams will be watching his progress with interest.

I cannot see us trading out Rowe tbh. He has become an almost beloved figure and important as a father figure to our young guys. I would be concerned to see him go. Jones' terrific form is great news for sure but we would need to see him consolidate that with a number of senior games before we can be clear about his future role with us.

Didn't realize that Jones' efforts were against Josh Bruce. Bruce can play and would be dangerous in even a weak side. Only adds to LJ's credibility from this effort.

He tore Bruce a newy. Not only, as Ye Rat O' the River pointed out, did he beat Bruce but would frequently leave him to help out in other contests and invariably impact that contest in some way.
With all the Jones love, which is richly deserved, I temper my enthusiasm with the fact that he aint playing seniors and showing this great form at the highest level. But, damn, he couldn't play any better at seconds level and it would be unfair for him not to be promoted... though the injury he got just a few minutes from the end of yesterday's game might end any promotion speculation. Hope it's not serious. He's only just turned 26 so there's still plenty of footy in him.
Thoughts of trading Rowe, sorry, but I think there's no chance. He's not perfect but he's a bloody rock down back.

White (unlucky to be dropped IMO), Sheehan (played a full game) and Jaksch also played very well in defence yesterday. In fact, it was probably as well as I have seen Jaksch play in defence, which might have had something to do with Jones' covering everything.
KJ has yet to demonstrate that he has overcome his limited mobility issues but he has shown enough in recent weeks to indicate that he was worth keeping on the list for at least this season.
When I could draw my focus away from the way the defenders were playing, I was captivated by Phillips' performance. Very good size, leap and mobility with a great pair of one-grab hands suggest that he just might develop into a decent ruckman. Having said that, he was schooled in the early ruck contests by Jason Holmes (#69) whose impressive palming and body positioning had me wishing he was on our list and showed up Phillips' areas that still need lots of work. Nonetheless, Phillips became more competitive in the ruck contests as the match progressed and won his share of hit outs in the second half.

Rowe wont be traded IMO, he is a battler who has undergone adversity on and off the field and is universally admired for
his courage and resolve...you dont push those blokes out of your club especially when they are leaders and playing well.
Reckon it might come down to keeping one of Jaksch or Jones...on form its Jones....
re: Jason Holmes...ran into the back of my mates car a while back down on the Nepean Highway....nice bloke according to my mate who said he did all the right things insurance wise and apologised for his lack of driving skills.

At this early stage of a rebuild, the performance of our 2's 3's is really encouraging. Although we'll have injuries (not too many hopefully) to cover, the good form of these guys is vital in building a highly competitive environment. This will push each player to be the best they can be.
Go new Blues

X2. Love your posts Navy.
One of the few that is not all doom and gloom after a loss.
We are on the right track and our performances in the 2s is testament that we now finally have some depth and our overall list is stronger then it has been in a long time.
