2015 Player Review - # 45 Matt Jones

Featured Replies

Jones had not kicked on since his excellent debut season of 2013 and this year he managed only nine games. His best effort for the year came in his 50th game for the club but even then, he could only gather 18 possessions and on that basis, will be playing for his football life in 2016.

It shows our lack of depth when Matt Jones got 9 games this year although I did enjoy his game against Geelong.

No one on the list makes me rage more than him.

His disposals actually fuel childrens nightmares.

A matter of time before he is cut.

He didn't play in the final round. His last game of the year was against Fremantle in Perth, incidentally one of the worst games he has played.

He ain't up to it. No shame in that, he has given it a much better shake than any of us, but I hope we don't see him play again at AFL level.


Every time he's selected I feel we're sure to lose. Though he was good against Geelong...

Against Geelong he kept Enright quiet and kicked a couple of goals. More of that and you could keep him on the list.

When he's on he's actually half decent. But if he turns it over early his confidence drops and all of a sudden he doesn't even seem to run hard or contribute in any way. Terrible tackler as well. Free kick or broken tackle every time.

He's had a chance at an AFL career as a mature ager and doesn't seem to have strength or elite endurance. He's just a middle of the road athlete which really shits me. If you're given the rare as anything chance you should at least be a training machine like a Magner.

Of the 9 games he played he did really important roles against the Dogs and Cats in big wins, played well against North and from memory actually did ok in his first game of the year in the Hawks belting.

Unfortunately his other 5 games were full of gross ineptitude and so bad that he was dropped after each one of them!

That's pretty embarassing.

Thanks - the error has been corrected.

Shows that our depth is on the improve given he played nearly every game in his first two years.

Touch wood there will be a zero in the games column in 2016 before Matt's career closes. He's played a role in his short time at the club.

No one on the list makes me rage more than him.

His disposals actually fuel childrens nightmares.

A matter of time before he is cut.

Please get rid of him before I have a brain haemorrhage watching his kicking.

There are worse players on our list, some of whom have already moved on. It would be a good sign for the club if he sits 30-35 on our list, rather than the 25-28 that he currently sits.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
