Taking Jones out of the backline would have let the Geelong forwards off the leash and it wouldn’t have improved our delivery into the forward line. I’m not sure that Jones’ time in defence will have improved his ability to play as a key forward. I suspect that, with Jones forward, we would have had fewer inside 50s and an out of position key forward failing to get to the ball.
McKay, Kerr and Curnow weren’t too tall for the conditions, they were too inexperienced. Swapping two of them for Jones wouldn’t have made much difference ... and who would we have played in defence, Kerr perhaps?
No Offence taken DJ....Geelong played one tall forward in Hawkins and one medium tall in Crameri, and I reckon they know the conditions at Pussy Park better than me, you or Bolton.
We were too top heavy forward and lacked mobility with the ball being on the ground more.....
Bolton is a poor tactician, when the opposition Fullback is the BOG with 28 disposals and 12 marks then you and your team are doing something wrong and need to change things up...
I would have tried something different for the win rather than leaving Jones down back and being happy with a respectable loss...
