Zak Jones

[Robbie57 2,003]

The article does mention his 22yo brother Josh as well! Who does he play for? (Hard to beleive as the brother in the middle that he would be hopeless!)

I am the brother in the middle and often referred to as hopeless.

[DemonWA 3,889]

I think he looks like a mid 30-40's pick. Doubt he'll lay for the dees

[Deemotivated 550]

The kicking can be rectified. He's certainly a goer and wouldn't take a backward step.

he wouldnt dare, his big brother would whack him ...lol

[ignition. 1,454]

Are you serious?

Did the MFC put these clips up, or did they originate from AFL /NAB?

I love the way he attacks the ball - like his bro - but I guess his disposal is why he isn't mooted top 10-20. Only hits a few targets.

It's just the usual pick up of an article on the AFL site:

afl.com.au/news/2013-10-21/keeping-up-with-jones

It does no harm, i doesn't say anything to imply MFC is after him, so where's the potential disappointment or pick 9 issue? It keeps MFC in the news, is positive and I expect it will go into any portfolio we put together to lure a sponsor. Where's the harm. Maybe BB is right - you're not serious?

I knew I would get grilled for that

Yes I am serious. I don't mind it on the AFL site - it's great in fact . I just don't like seeing how the MFC published his highlight reel on their website at this point in time. Unless if they publish a different draftee everyday (Zac Jones being the first).

monnocular I too love his attack on the ball, also a big fan of his dash.

His highlights package is very impressive, and he looks every inch an inside midfielder. If his work ethic and improvement arc are anything like his brother's, he's going to be a great pick up for whoever gets him.

Late bloomer? Never too late to pull on the boots.

Part of me is hoping we don't draft him, just to upset the few in this thread who are carrying on as if he's the second coming of Nathan.

[CBDees 3,165]

If Zac wanted to play with us he could take himself out of the National Draft and go into the Preseason Draft where we have pick #2 and pole position (if we can come to an understanding with GWS who have to reduce their list).

Ummmm, that's not allowed.

The part of me that hopes we do relates to an off field incident .

I would like to see them exact revenge for it together ,every Queens Birthday ,for a few years .

[jabberwocky 2,301]

We won't get him. Not at 9 and not at 40.

[bing181 9,154]

You would think so. Given that, hard to understand why MFC would put an article about him on our site. He'll be playing somewhere else next year.

Wait.

Was Zak the little brother who had to watch his dad have his teeth kicked in, by some drugfu**ed Collingwood supporting scumbags who were jealous of his teeth?!

Wow.

Imagine if be was drafted by Collingwood!!

Little Zak would come in handy on QB...

I hope that little bloke gets to smash Collingwood one day.

Totally agree on his want to get the ball.

His disposal is a lot like Big Bro.

Head down kick high and long.

I think he would be available at 40.

But I don't think he is worth it.

So he's like big bro, but not worth 40?

Your words not mine.

I said he kicks like big bro.

If I were picking a recruit these days his kicking would be No. 1 priority.

From what I have seen in the draft there are a lot of kids better disposal than Zac.

And if that was the highlights package let's see the lowlights

[jabberwocky 2,301]

If he is like big bro in that he works hard at his game, is durable, courageous and unrelenting then he would be a great get at 40. As one of the bolters however it would be unlikely he will be available.

[Little Richard 6,219]

From that footage, he looks strong, reasonably quick and has a good turn of foot. Hope we manage to get him somehow.

[deelete my account 1,194]

Played a decent GF and gave everything. 21 disposals @ 85%DE. Was on 80% of the match. Could be a very valuable addition to our stocks now that he has some big game experience.

Signed until the end of 2017. Will he be in our future planning? I would assume 2018 and 19  will be his last opportunity to play with Nathan.

Don't think he will be coming home. Longmire loves him. 

Think we need to accept that we will not be able to bring in everyone's brother.

But we're bringing in Shannon Motlops brother?

[Diamond_Jim 12,395]
