    Jones never looks comfortable close to goal but is much better when he has space to run and leap. He has enormous pace for a KPF and I'd like to see him use it roaming around high half forward. With an increased focus on Crameri and an improving Campbell I can also see Jones benefiting from being third man up in contests.

    Going to help Jones immensely if and when Crameri comes in the side.
    Jones has defiencies that need to be addressed , but I wouldn't be putting a line through his name yet.
    Jones looked dangerous at times when the ball movement was quick and precise, but he has to become more defensive and get fitter.

    His goal kicking is the area he needs improving. As we all know and have mentioned time and time again he is a great mark. If he can get that part of his game right he'll be a much better player than he is. Is Jones comparable to Cloke from Collingwood in some ways or is that a bad comparison.

    I think 99.9 % of posters wrote Grant off.

    Still hasn't earnt the respect yet for mine, but Jones has been the main man in a crap team.

    Maybe not that high, but they were wrong anyway

    Would like to see another pre-season into Tory plus a more potent Bulldog forward line with Crameri's inclusion before passing judgment on him. He looked underdone coming into 2013 and looked too slow and lacking forward defensive pressure early in games. This was particularly evident in the first ~20 mins of the first and second quarters when there was more pace in the game. His skills are up to it and he could be of good value if he can lift his fitness level to the required level.

    I'm worried about Jones' ability to play this role with a mediocre tank. He has good pace yes but he looked stuffed every game at the end of the third quarter playing deep, how is he going to go roaming high forward?

    Maybe another preseason will help.

    I must have been the 0.1%
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Jones maybe a bit like Schultz? Taking a while to put it all together consistently?

    Lets not do a Richmond...

    He's only 22. Petrie took a while to become a full time KPF as well; heck, Dale Morris was only rookied as a 22 year old.

    I'm certainly not giving up on him - not that many 22 year old KPFs are playing 19 games (many as the only HF option and/or getting the best defender) and averaging 1.2 goals per game despite getting shitful delivery for the bulk of the year.

    Re: Lets discuss - Tory Dickson

    How's Dickson looking to you lot? He's missed two absolute sitters from set shots the last 2 weeks and has looked hesitant to pull the trigger in front of goal. Is his injury still bothering him, is he a bit out of touch, or am I imagining things?
