Look I don't think Jones is a bad footballer and in hindsight I really was having a bit of a troll ranking him 16th on my talent list.

However.....

How many times have you seen Jones hit a forward lace out?

Don't give me crap how about that's not his specific role. All "A" grade inside midfielders in the modern game e.g. your Sam Mitchell's and Joel Corey's have far superior kicking skills to Jones. If were going to challenge for a premiship he needs to get his kicking up to scratch or either pick up about 20 hard ball gets a game just to justify his position.

I for one more than anyone hopes Jonesy can improve on these deficiencies in his game.

I remember against North this year we were getting smashed of course, could not buy a goal. There was a bounce on our forward 50 line and Jonesy just sharked it from the pack and stuck it on the boot and it sailed through, he knew that was the only way we were getting a goal so he just did it - it was a remarkable goal that went fairly unnoticed in the wash up of yet another horrible thumping. I was sold on him at that moment. The way he digs the ball out is first rate and he is about our only bloke that can do it. He's an absolute gem and will only keep getting better. Also, the side around him will strengthen and then he will really sparkle. You watch, he will fix his disposal and learn the tricks of being an inside mid and he will be one of our premier players for a long time. Star.

    Nathan is a talent but he needs to learn how to handball in tight, and kick to advantage.

    No he isn't, he had a 70% efficiency rate this year while doing it all on his own in the packs in the middle. While it isn't a great efficiency rate it obviously can be worked on.

    It's funny how people on this site go with the groupthink, one week people were praising him then as a couple of people start bagging him everyone jumps on.

    A good example of this was his game against West Coast where he got 30 posessions at 90% efficiency, an outstanding match overall. Then people on this site were bagging him after the match for his bad disposal :o Sometimes i wonder if people actually watch the game and form their own opinions.

    after round 2 this year i recall a plethora of posts saying that garland should never play again (when he was hardly in our worst players). footy will always have a mob mentality aspect and while this site is often very insightful, it too is not immune from the odd bandwagon bash. jones will be back in favour soon enough.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
