The Jones Boy

[Still Waiting 94]

How good will Jones be in the next couple of seasons? He has a bit of Brock Maclean about him in that he powers to the ball relentlessly. What is outstanding with his game now is his balance and ability to create for his team mates. This fella has the potential to be as good as Greg Wells. He has great endurance, strength, vision and is reasonably quick for his build. His disposal is good on both sides and he is a team player not an individual. I reckon he will soon be a long term leader of our club.

Let us hope the Jones Boy and Brock Mclean play together on the MCG for Many years to come. Far as I am Concerned rite now These two players are the only "Completely Untouchables" list-oh and Pettard. It is great to see no 15 belt down the members wing again. takes me back to my childhood with watching Stanley Alves

Jones is a machine. would love a fit Moloney to join him and the Rock. Gogfrey does his bit but when Eagles line up with Kerr,Judd and (Cousins now defunct) Priddus. the mindset is completely differant.

the scary part is ... you probably were.

one gets the feeling you either the leave the computer smashed up when you write negative posts, or with stains on the keyboard with the 'raging boner' ones

Might be my PJ bias shining thru... but i reckon we've found a pretty good one in PJ. He will be better than most his size and weight, no doubt, and is ready to play AFL now.

A newly drafted ruckman will take at least 2-3+ years to fill out, pick up the speed of AFL footy, and develop his game. So while we almost certainly will draft for best available ruck come National Draft day, PJ will definately be ready to take over #1 duties by the time White's finished, probably even sooner, at which time Neaves (who is developing very nicely in the VFL) should definately be ready to take on the #2 role under PJ, until that newly drafted ruckman is ready...

I dont think Jamar fits into this picture long-term (or even short term), and will probably end up at Carlton next year (given Denis Pagan's obsession with picking up ruckman lacking in talent ). Definately will (or should) get picked up/traded to another club come seasons end though.

The more responsibility and opportunity PJ is given, the more he will rise to the challenge. He's shown that in the first half of this year, and i'm sure he will continue to in the 2nd half. Looks like he is going to be a real quality player post-Jeff White, injury permitting. At his current rate of improvement, imagine how the good the big kid will be after 40-50 games? A lot better than Jamar, thats for sure...

A big boy with skills, footy smarts and agility like his (as well as his much improved marking) are very rare. If all things go right, PJ will be around for a long time still...

Not to mention being pretty strong overhead for a man his size. How bout that contested mark and goal inside 50 a couple of weeks ago against the Kanga's (was it?). Smallest fella in the pack, and he took it like a KPP!

If he were a few cm's taller i would say he most certaintly would have gone earlier in the draft in his year. Is very much a complete package type footballer, with very few flaws in his game.

I think your erotic feelings towards Sylvia are clouding your judgement.

[whitito 187]

Steady on...I am a big wrap for Jones and am happy that Sylvia is finally fit, but a couple of good games on the end of 9 straight losses isnt the time to really over inflate expectations.

Sylvia was an early pick who is finally repaying faith (quarter by quarter) and Jones is a second year player progressing very well.

Nothing more, lets enjoy the progress as opposed to over estimating value (Green and Bruce).

Having said that, I am loving watching there improvement.

I beleive that Jones is a legend, and one day will be a leader. He is a fantastic player and only can get better.

[dazzledavey36 54,889]

yes nathan you are good mate! dont you worry about that lol :D

[whitito 187]

Legend?? Seriously, he is a good young player nothing more at this stage. Over inflation of value is a curse at this club.

[sylvinator 96]

Jones will be a solid, great player for this club for the next 10 years i am sure.

we can only hope that he will become a player similar to Simpson of the kangaroos.

he will never be as great as Mclean or Bate however. These 2 have the potential to be top 20 players in the afl. (sylvia might be too who knows)

i can see jones being the type who always plays solidly and well, is in hard and plays by example.

i disagree...

i think he can be the best player at MFC in 3 to 4 years...

hes got it all ....and that turn out of trouble on monday, ooh boy...

he only can get better....

[Guest redandbluethruandthru]

how can anyone forsee any players full potential? We can all speculate as much as we want but only time will tell. Gee YZE_Magic still hasnt developed commonsense after all these years but i am sure he once had potential to do so. Rate players how they perform week in and week out before comparing players. Its long term players that make a club great, lets hope jones, slyvia, bate etc can string some injury free games together and really meld this team of ours into the powerhousee it deserves to be. GO THE DEES.

[Guest redandbluethruandthru]

just read my own post. All class.
