Aha. He did. "Jones broke into the Demons senior side late in 2006 and maintained his spot right throughout the finals, earning a Rising Star nomination along the way. After the Demons were eliminated by Fremantle, Jones returned to Sandringham and played in their premiership side. Now a fully established member of the Demon midfield, Jones played 21 games in 2007, earning a second Rising Star nomination and averaging five tackles a game" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Jones_(Australian_rules_footballer) -
Didn't Chunk get two in two years?

It's the minimum standard. There are certain things in football that are outside of your control, but effort and courage aren't on that list. I enjoyed today but he has to back it up. Not just next week, but all year. I don't care if he has a bad day when the ball doesn't fall his way - that was my football career in a nutshell btw - but even on those days you can tackle, chase and shepherd - which was why I kept getting picked even though I had limitations. Talent is easy. That will get you onto a list. It's the little things and hard work that keeps you there. I'm a harsh critic of his. Not because I think he's a bad pick, but because I think he's a great pick that doesn't care if he gets the best out of himself, and as much as he frustrates me I look forward to the day when we only talk about how good he is rather than seeing play a good game and crossing our fingers and hoping he can do it again. But, hey, In Roos We Trust.

Just change the 'new' to 'real'.

Reckon he has what it takes, and then some. Reckon he is also coming from a fair way back injury/fitness wise. Reckon he is a kid with a level head that will fix his so called problems (and I think most of them are from being 10 years old and being expected to lead in a D grade midfield). He's the least of our problems.

Not this joint most of the time.
