Yeah tough call on Jones, but i think you'll find him in the R1 team. He's a step above the VFL... ....development league that is.

As said above two touches from will be more valuable in the long term than Jones list clogging output. Byrne will definitely get senior games this year if he remains injury free.

Let's not get carried away EB  Next week's game against the Tigers may present another option - with a bit of luck :  Jones does provide more physicality around the contest than Gorringe does and they're pretty much line ball in their other footy attributes. I'd be inclined to go with Charlie Curnow; he can take a mark and Rance couldn't run off him.

OK Jones kicked 3 goals in the VFL but is that enough to convince BB to bring him in for R1? I suspect not and I think he'll have to develop more consistency in the VFL before he gets considered for another go with the seniors. BB was talking in his post mtch about the need to develop alternative avenues to goal via mids and smaller forwards, plus the need to develop a pressure small forward. That may be the way we go in R1, rather than persisting with an option that has consistently failed at senior level?
Reality always wins in the end.

Jaksch and Jones are probably the 2 blokes under the pump. I can't see Foster even registering on the scale of selection. Personally I don't care if all 3 are delisted and Bolts and SOS bring in more credible personnel.

He has only come to that conclusion? :o We need to have a spread of leading forwards, no more of this bombing and hoping. We have always burst out of the backline and pin pointed passes up the wing only to automatically play on and bomb the ball to a 2 or 3 on 1. Hasn't worked and will never work! We need to get the ball to half forward then assess the options, we seem to play on regardless and the forwards are never in the right position because they are buggered from running from the backline. : leave 2 or 3 targets up forward with the instruction to lead in patterns and the ball carrier to honour the leads. Works for other teams so why not us? :o
2024... Moir of the same to come

Guessing his pre-season was interrupted this year too given we've only just seen him. He's not long turned 21. Carlton are confident he'll be a 10 year forward. He only played 3rd tall defence last year to develop him. Once he put on the size and developed they were moving him forward. That's what McKay said in an interview with SEN last year.

It may be just a throw away line, but it did raise my eyebrows when Bolts in his pre game presser was asked when we could expect to see Jaksch back in the seniors. His reply was a sharp "form dictates selection" made me question if Bolts is underwhelmed by his efforts to date.

Here is hoping that it's about setting standards.
It would be easy to just play whoever and call it development, but you have to encourage competition for spots and pick players on their merits otherwise people assume you're playing favourites.
