JLT 2018: Carlton vs St Kilda at Ikon on Wednesday

[laj]

Pre-WADA! :o

Pre draft and salary cap.

[Professer E]

Some very disgruntled sniffers fans rang into SEN today.... Natives are getting restless with the perceived lack of progress.  One described it as "year 8 of a flawed 7 year plan".

I got the feeling that a LOT more was expected of the sniffers last Wednesday.

Where are the names like Hawkins? He got towelled up there.

Jones was on Hawkins, Weitering took on Harry Taylor!

Buddy? No, that was ASOS.

Yet in Rnd 23 when we were flogged Weitering was clearly in our best, when some of those others folded.

As for Riewoldt and Nankervis.
Jones will take reiwoldt and marchbank nankervis. Not saying Weitering can't play on them, just that it leaves us 1 tall too many against them.

Jones won't play on a body on body type forward like Nankervis, he may take Reiwoldt but that will mean Jones is deep in defence which doesn't suit us at all! Jones is probably our fastest tall, we need him free across HB and leave Weitering deep at FB.

Who are the sniffers?!

Who are the sniffers?!

The Aints

[LP]

You must laugh at these Aints plebs.

Last week pre-game it was all about how strong the Aints list looked, comments like they were virtually full strength, winners all over the field, it will be a tough day for the blues, even the commentators bought into the bullsh1t!

This week they are "The Aints Back to full strength!" with four changes. But they have lost their No.1 ruckmen and another of the outs is also listed as a notable absentee!

B: J.Geary, N.Brown, D.Roberton
HB: J.Webster, J.Carlisle, S.Savage
C: J.Newnes, D.Armitage, J.Sinclair
HF: J.Billings, P.McCartin, J.Steele
F: J.Gresham, T.Membrey, J.Bruce
Foll: T.Hickey, S.Ross, J.Steven
I/C: L.Dunstan, B.Acres, K.Stevens, M.Weller, S.Gilbert, N.Coffield, H.Clark, R.Marshall               

Emerg: J.Lonie, N.Wright, B.White, L.Austin                         

In: J.Billings, J.Bruce, T.Hickey, K.Stevens
Out: B.Long, B.Longer (injured), J.Lonie, N.Wright

Notable absentees: Billy Longer, Jack Lonie, Josh Battle, Hugh Goddard

Aints = Secret Code for Wanker! ;D

Jones is deep in defence almost every week.

I think it was his first game against GWS in our 1 point win. He took repeated goal saving marks within 10m of our goal line and i reckon he barely got outside 50 if at all.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree.

[LP]

Jones does his best work across the D50 arc, where he can run and jump at the contest, sometimes in conjunction with a quick break and a long disposal back into our forward half.

He is not a good disposer of the ball, you don't want him trying to hit targets off the goal line.

[DJC]

What I like about Jones is his ability to get to contests across the back half.  He may punch the ball through from the goal square and follow it up with a spoil on the wing in the next play phase.

Yes I agree, he covers lots of ground so it's important that he has the opportunity. We do not want opposition dragging him to the goal square, and we do not want him kicking out or across goal.
