I didn't see the game, only the highlights. However, from those I would put Jones in.
Peter Jackson VFL 2016
Northern Blues 4.3 6.4 8.8 11.11 (77)
Footscray Bulldogs 1.5 3.7 5.9 10.11 (71)
GOALS:
Northern Blues: McKay 3 Jaksch 2 Jones 2 Korcheck Declase Kerbatieh Smith
Footscray Bulldogs: Webb 2 Houghton 2 Hayes Hrovat Greenwood Hannan Grabowski Adcock
BEST:
Northern Blues: Wilson Jaksch Everitt Tutt Jones Russell
Footscray Bulldogs: Webb Smith Russell Nash Adcock Honeychurch
From those, and feel free to disagree with me if you were there and saw it live, Jaksch would be his biggest competition. Jones took some great marks, but did not convert all of his chances.
I would give McKay a go some time in the last couple of rounds. Maybe against Essendon. His fitness levels are just not there yet.
I don't think Silvagni's fitness levels are there yet, but he made a case that just couldn't be ignored.
I also note that although Whiley got leather poisoning, he was NOT mentioned in the best. Tutt was: disposal efficiency? All the same, Whiley has to be close to another senior game. He is in good form at the moment.
I think Skittles and Gowers may get games before the end of the season, but it would be very brave to blood them against Hawthorn. Lamb probably didn't do enough to get a recall yet.
Sumner was better against Sydney, but still managed just 13 possessions (and 1 brilliant goal). It would be hard to make many changes for this week, but Sumner could make way.
I like the lad, his pace and his work rate, but he needs to get the ball more.
