Rd 6: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs. Essendon

[jeza]

Jones second and third efforts were very good.  Especially his chasing.  I just wish he had a clue when leading out, though as pointed out, there was very little lace our footy today.

Particularly hard to hit someone on the chest when he never presents it. Half the problem we're having moving the ball forward is our forwards don't present. Jones is the main culprit - leads half hearted into an area of congestion or asks for it to be kicked over the top which would require a 65m kick or changes direction just as the player is about to kick.

Literally zero idea how to play as a forward.

Then we get to using your body. He seems absolutely surprised every time someone bumps him as the ball is arriving. He doesn't know how to hold your opponent off the drop zone and then take the mark. He simply stands under the ball and tries to jump up. Slight bump and he's gone.

If you think I'm being harsh - consider this - not once in his 11 games with Carlton has he accumulated double digits disposals.
