Zak Jones

[CBDees 3,167]

We should of picked Alwyn!

[rpfc 28,769]

At least we would have an insight into the mind of the kid.

[rhaz 342]

blah blah blah...

Midfielder James Tsitas (Falcons) and Zak Jones (Dandeneong Stingrays) were both prominent as Vic Country took a three-point advantage into the main break.

blah blah blah....

Quote from the match report for WA vs Vic Country yesterday.

I do see the "intangible" benefits of drafting the brother of a player already at the club, much like benefits of a father son.

Why are people saying Dylan Grimes should be at Melbourne? The guys is just as worse as jack in regards to injuries and we would be all very frustrated supporters having Dylan on the sidelines all the time.. Clark is driving us all mad re his foot imagine if we had Dylan lol. when he is injury free (which is rarely) he is a good player for sure.

Not disagreeing with you about his injuries keeping him off the park DD36, but during Dylan's draft year his injuries were unknown. I have a number of very astute Richmond supporting mates (I know, that sounds impossible) who are grateful that we overlooked Dylan. They say he is a player who makes their backline more complete when he's not injured. Once they clear up, I feel he will be a very good player for the Tigers.

While we are not a charity, I believe a younger brother will often lift his level of performance when playing alongside his sibling. Especially when the older one is as well respected as Nathan. If its a choice between two draftees of reasonably similar ability, I'd go the brother. I certainly hope he is as hard working as Nathan. Good luck to him regardless of where he goes.

[Little Richard 6,265]

I really hope we take him, though we shouldn't spend overs on him just because he's Chunks brother.

However he's shown enough to give the impression he can be a player. I think he could excel at the MFC, having such a driven and hard working role model in Nate.

[Mickey 4,731]

Was named in the back pocket in the u/18 all Australian team

[Waltham33 475]

Draft Zak, Tommy Lee Jones and Special Delivery Jones and we are set

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Isn't he the 'young' brother that was with his dad at the queens bday clash a few years ago when that Filth supporter tried to pick a fight? Zac would surely have developed an extreme hatred of the Filth as a result. That must give him some determination not to be selected by them!

Good bloodlines, did you know their mum was on the TV show "Gladiators" back in its heyday? Believe she went by the name Storm

[spirit of norm smith 16,588]

Its a YES from me. 3rd round pick - pick #40 ish.

He has good build, run and would be a creative, tough, half back that we lack. Jonesy brother would be a good acquisition.

No way! Are you kidding? I loved that show!

Really???? She was ridiculously seductive. I'll never look at Nathan the same way

<facepalm>

Is he any good?

I don't care about bloodlines.

We are not a charity.

IF he is a genuine contender for "best available" when the pick comes, sure, but don't elevate him just on his genes. (Cockatoo-C x2, Molloy, Gasper, Kavanagh, etc etc)

Sometimes it works as well, eg Kieren Jack and brother (so far). But as you say mono, if he's near the best available at our pick, yes, if not, pass.

Ditto! I had a mega crush on Storm as a 12 year old. I loved that show too. This news has rocked me!

[ignition. 1,466]

I hope he is considered for our second round pick. He made the All Australian team, the skill is definitely there, I presume he will have a similar personality and work ethic to Nathan I just hope he slides enough for us to pick him up.

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

He was meant to be the best footballer of the three brothers.... However, nathan is the best athlete of the three

Storm was Charlene Machin. Lives and works in NSW.. Nothing to do with the Jones boys.

Zak Jones can seriously play.

Its a YES from me. 3rd round pick - pick #40 ish.

[Lord Travis 10,763]

Would love him as a Demon if he is available from 2nd round onwards. Named All Australian, praised as one of the best half backs in his age group, and he is built and hungry just like our Nathan. Hopefully it falls our way and he can play alongside his older brother for many years to come!

[pilgrim 122]

There's an interview with him and Nathan on The Robbo Show this week.

He actually admits right at the end that he'd love to play for us next year. Let's get him there, if he's as driven as Nath, I'm all for it.

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Cause we have a glut of small back flankers with good disposal and bloodlines of determination and grit. Nah, pass.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I am impressed someone can start a rumour that Storm from Gladiators is Nathan Jones' mum and have idiots like me believe it.

You* would clearly believe anything. How gullible are you?

*also, me.

I've heard big wraps on this kid, but it's unlikely he'll drift to our third round pick.

So, we might be put in a difficult position here, do we take him with our second round pick...

Or, do we gamble that he might possibly be there for our 3rd?

I'm tipping we will probably gamble he'll still be there and most likely he'll be gone.

But, our second pick is like gold in this draft, no doubt a VERY good player will slide.

Salem could slide and some even have Dunstan sliding!

It does happen... No-one would've tipped Grundy and Kennedy sliding to Collingwood last year.

Especially Grundy, as many had him going top 3!
