How do we know this isn’t just more fugazi and that the club has actually told you the truth about injuries but sworn you to secrecy? 

I watched training the Wednesday before everybody looked ready to go and confident, they produced a flat performance nothing whatsoever to do with injury

This Wednesday was another good strong session but who knows game day

Personally I think we missed Lewis at the back for his organisation and AVB for his grunt and tackles

Making out like he is some big hierarchy thats an advocate for us supporters on here. I honestly think they just say that just to take the [censored] out of him. There is no way a professional organisation would say to a die hard nerd supporter to keep this kind of information confidential.. 

 

He got caught out lying about the Andrew Gaff scenario last year. Then went into hiding after he was caught out.

In regards to the Jones situation, if Sparrow had nailed that goal then i dont think this would be a serious discussion point. I am backing Jones to have a big one. I also do believe that he still needs to have moments as an inside midfielder. Does his best work in close, but also at times we are exposing his lack of speed put on a wing.

Agree with this - his was the pass to Harmes from Gawn’s tap, which led to Weideman’s goal on Saturday. Also, he went back inside at a crucial time v Hawthorn in the Semi-Final last year, which steadied the ship.

It's convenient for him to say that, though.  It's his out.  He either didn't know anything and is trying to look like he did, or blatantly lied to everyone when he didn't need to say anything.  I mean, why say everything is fine when it's going to come out that it isn't?  It makes him look like a fool either way.

Sounds like we have our own version of lawyer x amongst us. will be hard to take the training reports seriously.

Agree with your comments Chook. At the same time, we had a whole team of players making mistakes throughout the game. Many players making more mistakes than Jones. The focus on Jones is a bit unfair, but was highlighted as a mistake due to the late stage in the match and the consequences of the turnaround. If Sparrow had kicked the goal then it would have been different.  The fact is the team was playing poorly and trying to scrabble its way back into a game that could have been well outside its reach if Port had kicked more accurately. In the second half, Port was the superior side, looked like the likely winner, and the Dees were playing catch up. 

Jones's decision making and disposal has always been poor, or at best, fair to middling. Never endowed with pace, I think he has got slower and he is being caught more easily.  He reminds me a bit of Ablett, however, Ablett's reading of the play and his skills are a cut above those of Nate.   

The sun was in his eyes when he tried to take the mark.
