Also it's basically a team tactic, it's not a direct assessment or judgement of individual player ability.
I'd say Jones gets this job, primarily because he is weaker at the very thing we commonly think is one on one contested marking, and that is wrestling at the fall of the ball.
That is not a commentary from me asserting Jones is either good or bad, it's just the way it is in our team.
As I mentioned last week, fans kybosh Plowman because he always seems to be on the losing end of contests, but that is because he's the one picking up the loose pieces that will allow Jones and Weitering to do what they do when they leave opponents and intercept mark.
