It's dropping chest marks, fumbling pick ups in the clear, missing targets or bombing the ball mindlessly to nobody. In fairness Plowman wasn't on his own in this regard.
Can you recall what MM did to Mitch Robinson after his goal line brain fade, can imagine what he would have said / done to Jones? I suspect Jones would have been put in a taxi with a torn up contract before leaving the ground!
I think the Malthouse /Jones relationship is similar to Ross Lyon / Zac Dawson. I think Mick would have roasted Liam over an outdoor fire, but I think Jones would have taken it the right way. Don't forget Mick brought him to the club.
Can I just just say, bearing in mind my perfect, unblemished record of dogged objectivity on the "coach question" it was Bolton who saved Jones career, and it was under Bolton that he played his best footy. And that goes for too many of our players - Docherty, Williamson, Dow, O'Brien, Cripps and others played better under Bolts.
Agree with the rest of your post.
