Has he really been going for 9 years?
This thread should be renamed after him.

Everybody looked good against us in 2014!

It's in his nature. Threatened to be the next big thing at the dogs as well don't forget, He's totally a confidence player, and we know if you let him run and jump at the ball without contact he looks great, but he can't handle it when you take that away from him.
Pretty soon clubs will instruct a forward to just watch him and get in his way, give him a little bump and he won't know what to do because he can only run in straight lines.
When that happens the rest of his game will fall apart as well and we'll see the real Liam Jones back again.
Yep. He had that good year in 2010 with Barry Hall alongside him. The year he left I was curious to see how he would have gone alongside Tom Boyd (I had this wild idea that Tom would play as a key forward, dunno why I thought that) with the second or third forward. But now I know because Carlton have wasted nearly 3 years playing Liam alongside Levy Casboult and my curiosity is satisfied.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Conceded 27 possessions, 11 marks and 6 goals to his direct opponent on Saturday night - fair start to the nose dive

I didn't see the game, but by the stats/scores it would have been next to impossible playing in the backline for Carlton.

Might explain the 6 goals, but giving up 27 touches to a fat overgrown baby is despicable.

Re: Ekers
I recently decided that I badly needed to beef up on Daniel Currieology. I consulted Suns TV. They have a couple of clips of/interviews with him. I've gained a lot of respect for him. He's the journeyman's journeyman. He richly deserves a 10th year and a string of games. Even 20 on the trot would be a mere scratch on his imposing record.

Re: Ekers
If Declan Hamilton gets another contract would he be looking at entering eker potential ?
