Why is Nathan Jones untouchable?

He has been underwhelming as captain.

Unfortunately, the fat needs to be cut away. Anyone that has been part of and led this team to its losing culture over the past 8 years must be moved on. He's been at the forefront of it. He's the best player in a crap team and he's still very average. Tyson is already ten times the player Jones is.

I don't disregard the guy's effort, but he has zero clue how to win a game of football, or how to empower his teammates. He leads his team off with his head down.

How many times have we seen this image?

If rumours about the coaching group being underwhelmed with him as captain are true, he should be no safer than any other player that has arrived at the club between 2006-2012. It's that playing group that has produced the current quality we see now. They should all be moved on.

I'm sick of sticking up for these dropkicks. It's the same damn players, every year!

Y-M?

Funny how things change quickly. At the end of last year most of us thought our back 6 was solid and our front 6 was dangerous, but our midfield was woeful. fast forward 9 months, our mids look OK our forwards are woeful and our back 6 is down to a solid two with a bloke that is good but panicks everytime he gets the footy.

All of the sudden we go from have a few holes to fill, to a hell of a lot with nothing coming through.

Three defenders short, three forwards short, three mids short and a second Ruckman/forward(Gawn will be our No1 ruckman next season)

At Casey on the weekend Hogan, Toumpas and JKH add in Pederson, that's it. Our injury list isn't long, in fact no one on that list makes a difference.

Almost half a side is just not up to it with only 4 possible players that may get to the standard. For all people that believe our list is OK it is far from OK, Western Bulldogs list is OK if you are a Bulldogs supporter you are excited by your list, ours is depressing.

Our mids are deplorable. We are 18th in clearances. Have a look at the disposals racked up by the GWS mids and tell me our midfield is OK.

Bollocks.

ermagerd praha, This club is like a tree on the cliff of an eroding bank, instead up burrowing your roots deeper or stabilising the ground with vegetation, you hack at the very roots that are striving to hold this tree up.

(jones is the roots just in case you missed that)

why on earth would we trade jones? What would you hope to get from that trade?
