Great game from Jones but was well suited against a slower opponent. It is a shame that Jones and Weiters are both better suited to playing in space at HB than on the last line - maybe Oscar McD could be given a chance to resurrect his career down back to free them (and Plowman) to less defensive roles.
When he is ready, it will be interesting to see if the Gov can make a decent fist of playing as a leading forward now that there seems to be more room in which to lead.
I think Dow has improved but he often fails to take the ball cleanly on the first grab and can hold it too long. He suffers by comparison to Walsh who has such quick and clean hands.
Parks was good - kicking style is ungainly but, apart from one absolute shocker, he displayed nice touch when passing and roosted it a long way when he tried to. His defensive spoils were decisive as well.
Its amazing how much easier it all is when you win the centre clearances. Freo was poor but a win is a win.
