VFL Rd 16: Northern Blues vs Footscray at Ikon Park

[LoveNavy]

Jones was good; plenty of his trademark chest marks but some nice overhead marks too.

Sounds really promising, specially as our drafted forward stocks are jinxed this year and unlikely to get a good run at it. Just the same, we need the more experienced forwards to at least take the heat of the best defenders. What I've seen (limited) of the Jones boy, suggests his composure, marking, and kicking for goal is pretty solid. For mine, it's more his reading the play and resultant mistiming that needs developing, if that's possible. Whoever we bring in, Levi needs a hand. After young Charlie went down, he was back to attracting more defenders than he could reasonably compete against. That must get very frustrating I imagine...
Happy for Jones to get a call up.
