Rubbish comment... three goal assists in our last four goals of the game, 27 quality possessions (2nd highest for the Dees and 3rd highest on the ground) and 7 marks. Sure there was the odd handling error, but in the conditions that was perfectly understandable.

Fair enough... but my main problem is the fact that people jump on his mistakes yet give little credit for the good things he does (same goes for Bennell).

Yeah, true... but at least they deserved the bagging they got last week... Jones has hardly put a foot wrong today.

I would say that Jones is the main instigator... he is easily now in our best two or three players for the day.

Mke that the last 3 goals Watts04!

Hey, you are incredibly quick to criticise Jones for a poor disposal, yet not a peep when he has set up the last two goals!! How about giving credit where it's due!

What a rubbish comment!! He has had more effective disposals today than most of our players... I am sick of the way people here are always ready to jump on players like Jones and Bennell as soon as they manage a poor disposal... take the blinkers off!!

Our backline has gone backwards in a big way... and that is nothing to do with coaching...it is pure laziness!

It's almost like each Lions player has a force field around them... hardly any of our tackles have stuck!!

In light of what is currently unfolding at the MCG, I think that last week's effort may be viewed retrospectively in a slightly different light; Hawthorn are starting to look scarily good.

Agree, which is why I don't discuss it.

What is the point of this thread... we didn't take him, just like we didn't take Nic Nat - Can't change it, pointless thread.

Better yet, just use the <sarcasm> enter your witty commentary here </sarcasm> tags.

The next two weeks should be treated by the club and players as opportunities to stamp their authority and build their confidence with big wins... it doesn't matter that they would be against the likely cellar dwellers; confidence and momentum are major driving forces in this game.

Sums it up well IMHO.

Yes, absolutely shocking to see a player celebrating an excellent goal in which he set-up AND then subsequently completed, the play!

Perhaps it's the fact that it's just another of many looking for players to pillory? Plenty missed marks through basic skill errors, Jetta's on their forward line that led to a goal for example - and that was all this was, a basic skill error. It really sickens me that Bennell is carrying the can skill for a judgement error in game two of season 2010 and one which he has made up for ten-fold since. And by the way, if you watch that game against the Pies, you will notice that Grimes actually pulled out of a much softer contest in a move that led directly to a goal, yet it was Bennell's retreat that caused far more consternation... go figure.

Take that one step further: "Raging Bull" (apologies to Mr Scorsese)

Yes, maybe he should be subbed, but for god's sake, get off his case... you have been at him almost since the opening bounce!

Tapscott would already have to have this week's Rising Star wrapped up, surely?

Was already a Bennell fan, but he just gets better and better!!

Looks like Beamer's been at the angry pills... great to see.

No, nothing yet... but I doubt they would be giving anything away on that score almost until they take the field.

DemonsHQ just tweeted: "Addam Maric is the sub for @DemonsHQ today. Jordan Lewis is the Hawthorn sub."
