VFL Rd3: Northern Blues vs. Port Melbourne

[PassIt2Carrots]

KJ provides no second effort at all. Can take a reasonable grab and has a great boot on him. All the feedback re Jones has been that, as well as kicking goals, his defensive pressure has been a feature. Bolton rewards effort.  KJ would have been told about second efforts and the need to improve....but it has yet to happen.

Have you been attending the games Townsend? Interesting I hadn't heard this about KJ before.

Haretuku is a big lad and surprised he hasn't been looked at very seriously.  On paper on thought we should have gone well against thus mob.... Alas games aren't played on paper.

Think the Saints had him as a rookie at one stage.....can look a bit laconic/casual and maybe doesnt come across as desperate to make it as a AFL player....

KJ - tank need developing?

I've often wondered why he doesn't get a gig, particularly in a side crying for a key forward.

Based on what i saw on The Journey, his tank is ok when required, he needs to develop his hunger and desire to push himself.

Hmmm competitiveness lacking... Maybe the somewhat novel competition for spots Bolts has introduced will spark this. What commentary I've heard suggests the coaching staff are giving him plenty of attention. I'd really like to see him take a big step forward this year.

i hear that jamison was next to useless - kept giving orders to players and was easily pushed off by the forwards

jamo should not play for carlton seniors again

Where did you hear that Mossie?

I wrote several weeks ago that KJ only has speed in a straight line and lacks the mobility to change direction; this contributes to him being a hit or miss player with limited ability to give second efforts.

I think he was playing in the backline when you said that. I asked a question of you, which you never responded too, suggesting that with those traits he could be more suited to playing up forward and leading up at the ball.
Given his back to back 3 goals a game, looks like we've found him his spot
