For someone who I personally give s**t all the time, Jones has been absolutely exceptional this quarter! Incredibly impressed

[Chook 15,023]

Green has not played well at all since becoming Captain.

Agreed, but I think it's a physical thing. He's definitely slower than last year.

Morton about to come on.

e: Watts subbed out. Skinny bloke for skinny bloke.

god bennell gives me the irrates stimes but his pace is soooo important

good finish too

[Chook 15,023]

Finally, a good piece of body work from Lynden Dunn. Brings the ball to ground for a Bennell goal.

Hey, you are incredibly quick to criticise Jones for a poor disposal, yet not a peep when he has set up the last two goals!! How about giving credit where it's due!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I don't think he is a natural leader and so he is trying to hard to become one at the expense of his own game.

jones hit a good target - good man

Mke that the last 3 goals Watts04!

[Chook 15,023]

A great mark and goal from Lynden Dunn, just to shut me up about him.

[rhaz 342]

One good part of this turnaround is that its coming off the back of players like Dunn and Bennell, who were quiet early... its nice of them to turn up.

What a rubbish comment!! He has had more effective disposals today than most of our players... I am sick of the way people here are always ready to jump on players like Jones and Bennell as soon as they manage a poor disposal... take the blinkers off!!

There's no Maric or Jetta to bag this week so someone has to cop it.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Jones has been good this quarter.

I would say that Jones is the main instigator... he is easily now in our best two or three players for the day.

ive given credit in the past then he does sthing silly, settle down

he is inconsistent and needs to get better

surely u see that, needs to be a leader every week not one in 3

[Chook 15,023]

I was one of those who suggested that Nathan Jones ought to be dropped for this game. It looks as though I was wrong. He's played quite well this quarter.

[hardtack 10,849]

Yeah, true... but at least they deserved the bagging they got last week... Jones has hardly put a foot wrong today.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Still a long way to go, anything less than a win is unacceptable.

Fair enough... but my main problem is the fact that people jump on his mistakes yet give little credit for the good things he does (same goes for Bennell).

Some people do give him credit. Clint Bizket, you an me in this thread alone. And there'd be thousands of people at the game today who'll be giving him credit, because it is due. Sometimes he's not very good for us. Today he has been.

[Guest watts04]

it was a good qtr by jones

my issue is its too much one in three matches or one in 3 qtrs

hes a leader and experienced and needs to perform and as supporters we need to be ruthless and not accept inconsistency from our leaders to be better

dont pump up jones this week when last week he was nowhere

beamer has the same issue stimes, jamar doesnt

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Gysberts too slow, turnover, Brisbane goal.

I don't think they did really, hence my sarcasm, but Jones doesn't deserve it either so Fair Call! From here on all frustrations to be redirected at Watts? Bugger, he'e been subbed so he won't be making any more mistakes.
