Liam Jones...LOL.

It's Mick's fault Jones only got 1 disposal yesterday? Good one Robbo! Almost as good as it being the AFL and ASADA's fault that Essendon injected their players with PEDs.

No he's saying it's Mick's fault he's at the club on a three year contract.....but I'm sure you already knew that.

Play him as a back and all he has to worry about is to stop his player getting the ball.
Play him man on man all the time so he has only one thing to think about, not about running patterns etc.

Early days I know but I wonder if SOS might be getting a little concerned that none of the boys he got to the club from GWS have really shown anything of note. So far the drafted boys and those we got from Adelaide seem to be the ones showing promise, along with the crowd fave Galucci... but as I said, early days.

Mick is gone.

Yeah we brought Jones in on a 3 year deal, we also brought in Docherty and Everitt who have done well. Jacksh and Whiley still have time to prove themselves although I'm not confident myself.

Noticed I said "we"? That's because it's a team decision, a number of people including the the guy Mick reported to (Andrew McKay) are involved in trades and recruitment.

I can live with us signing him given that we were set to lose Waite and were very short on for tall forwards, under those circumstances he was worth a punt.
It's the three year contract I'm struggling with.

Exactly. No one else wanted him.

I'm afraid any decent key forward would leave him for dead

+1 on the 3 year deal.

We might have known a fair way out that Hendo was going too as these things are fairly transparent these days so they might have future proofed for the first time in our history.

At least he tries.  Thats better than many of the players we have had over the journey.
