He will be a superstar but he has the body shape that will not only put weight on easy but also at a young age. I reckon he needs to trim down now in an effort to continue his rise to a full time professional gun. I hope he does because I really rate him and he is a very smart player.

No more bacon and eggs my man.

    What are you basing this on??? i Thought that Jones' endurance and running were part of his strong points??? In that case why would he need to lose weight?

    I like the Fact that he is a big solid unit-we need that, it what we have lacked.

    AGREED.

    i wouldnt be worrying about this one, his strength is his endurance and engine so doesnt need to lose any weight to improve this. more weight through the hips just makes it easier for him to break tackles and shake players off. although if he were to lose a few kg's perhaps he could give them to danny hughes; this kid might go alright if someone actually fed this fella!!!

    Nah! He's not that big (I've stood next to him). The lack of hair makes him look heavy. He is just well muscled. If he loses that he will be pushed off the ball.

    Jones needs a break, his first year and he did awesome

    next year, another pre season will do him very well

    He really doesn't, sorry!!!

    This kid (even though he is older than me) is an absolute gun he can break tackles is composed under pressure is a good kick and can take a mark

    What more do u want!!

    I heard somewhere that the players pay him out for being a bit chubby, but then Brock got a hard time for the same thing at the start of his second season.

    I think weight's a factor if you're the wrong side of 28, like Stuart Dew, or Byron. Jones has 10 years before we need to be concerned.

    On the plus side, the ONLY thing he needs to develop body-wise is his endurance. He's not in the mould of, say, CJ who has needed to bulk up AND improve endurance.

    If you're going to post things to be worried about when considering the tendencies of individual demon-listed players, Jones's weight would be about the 296th thing I'd be worried about.

    I don't recall people saying that Brock needed to trim down by 5..... and he was a little more heavy set than our boy Jones.

    I'm surprised Hannabal hasn't checked in on this thread!

    The funny thing is that you guys are all so defensive. I rate him very highly and think he is great.

    Little did you guys know that this (lose weight) is exactly what the clubs conditioning staff also thought and he has been encouraged to trim down.

    Relax!

    yeh jonesy im sure has been told to trim down but i guess it was a little bit of an adavantage in his first year but definetly for future sakes he should

  • Quote

    He has trimmed down already. Anyone who saw him on Monday night could attest to that. He looked to be in terrific shape - at least my daughter thought so.

    Precisely BB59, I would have thought without knowing his weight by just by lookin' at him that he probably could do with putting on a couple of kilo's of muscle, he's still just a kid. He's never gonna be a speed machine so he'll need a lot of strength & also endurance, ah-la the diesel Williams. ;)

    He only needs to tone down a bit of that puppy fat and further strengthen the muscle he already has in the same way Brock did, then he will be an absolute machine.

    I think Moloney and Bate to a lesser extent needs to do the same.

    Then we will have 5 bull tearing machines in Bate, Brock, Jonesy, Col and Moloney raring to bust some heads and split some pack.

    I'm excited!

    Don't worry. With the pre-season is set to give (as he said after the loss to freo) it's going to be fitness!

    The guys who need to tone down will and all our players, particularly the young guys will all benefit big time!

    I predict that Brock will come out of it even more toned than what he already is and if Read is to stay, he'll go into the season with a 12 pack :P

    People didn't. Brock himself did. He went on holiday with Col after his first season, and after partying a little bit too hard, he came back heavier than he thought he would be. When conparing him to Jones all I said was that I heard Jones's team-mates paid him out for being chunky, not the general public.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
