Look out Eddie will crack a joke at Freddy's expense.

Perhaps not unless he is also a double amputee.

    and you reckon ANBs not quick enough but you want Jones forward? ANB kicked about 30 goals last year so id say he's better around goals than your criteria gives him credit for. I guess it must make sense to you, but I have to disagree because it makes little sense to me.

    Jones has more attributes to make him suitable inside 50Mtrs.   He has no fear of being crunched, or wearing a heavy tackle, and is a much more & desperate tackler himself. He will take physical chances to find the goals.

    ANB, I noticed, was missing a lot of attempted tackles.   No good when trying to lock the ball inside our 50.

    what pressure is Jones going to apply to lock it in when he cant even run fast enough to catch anyone? sorry to tell you this, but Jones is fast hitting the wall. years of being our only warrior in the midfield week in, week out, has clearly taken its toll on the poor bloke. he's too slow and not agile enough anymore to play as a forward, and our forward line is too slow as it is. Jones can only pretty much play Wing/HB these days, somewhere he can straight line the ball, as he can barely sidestep anymore and just about everytime he tries to do a sharp turn he falls over.

    Something about writings and walls ...

    Smarts, and a willingness to tackle and stop the ball escaping his area.  

    Remember we are comparing Jones with ANB, as small forwards.    I don't share your views Yet , Re Jones being finished.   We are currently 2 games into the season.

    Jones playing as a forward will work about as well as Hunt playing as a forward,  just for different reasons.

    If what your saying is its/they're not a long term idea... you'd be right.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
