The Jones Boy - I will declare it now - he is going to be a star

[bornadog]

We can't always be right BAD

Looked good as a youngster then it all went down hill.

[Remi Moses]

In fairness I think most observers were tantalised by jones' s potential .
He'll be playing suburban football this time next year

[bulldogtragic]

My worst thread of all time.

Thank you for the reminder.

To be fair, I watched his very first game playing Willy Reserves at Frankston. He looked like a new Carey. Little did I know, that's the only level he looks good at! As evidence by giving up 7 goals at Full Back last week, and 67 hit outs as a ruckman after they've lost any faith he can score as a forward.

The jokes on all of us. He'll make more money playing country footy than most on this forum will next year working for a living.

Any way, I never posted in this thread. Someone hacked my account. But the legacy is Caleb Daniel so everything turned out well enough for everyone. Everyone except Carlton.

[Dry Rot]

Why?

I have serious doubts about both, certainly as forwards.

My 2012 post about Jones and Ayce Cordy.

Knew Jones was rubbish years ago.

Bornadog if it's any consolation I'm putting my reputation on the line with TIm English he will be a star make no mistake!

Doesn't count if you don't make a thread with the declaration as the title so people remember it

I seem to recall the words "I had movement" used in that particular game review.

I think you sung his praises after the 2014 VFL GF as well. We all thought he might be coming good and were sad to see him go, especially for a 3rd rounder

Furious. What were going to do with a third rounder for gods sake? There wasn't going to be anything decent left then.

We were losing a competitive beast!

He had just enough talent to tease & then frustrate most of us at one point or another. And $1,000,000 from Carlton!!

Suckers!! We might've got our hopes up as fans, but at least we never handed him a million. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

BT I don't get the obsession with Jones' pay packet at Carlton? You bring it up once a week. If $1m over 3 years is accurate, then he is slightly above the average AFL wage.

Being paid above average wages for way below average output...for 3 years. I think BT just finds it hilarious, especially given we picked up a very good player in exchange.

My comrade nailed it exactly.

[Twodogs]

It's the length of the contract too. Liam Jones logging up a list spot for 3 years is doing wonders for their rebuild.

Plus it was Carlton, the desperado club that expects to get a quick fix to make finals instead of developing their own young talent.

13 ex-GWS players and Liam Jones, Tutt say hello from the burbs.
