He'll be playing suburban football this time next year

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.

Knew Jones was rubbish years ago.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

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
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

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!
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

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.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

My comrade nailed it exactly.

It's the length of the contract too. Liam Jones logging up a list spot for 3 years is doing wonders for their rebuild.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

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.
