He is also mentoring English and Sweet.
I guess this is the price you pay for bringing in a player in his 30s.
I have always been against bringing any player to the club 30 plus.

I can't be bothered fact checking (and I don't want Happy Days to call me a narc) but I'm 100% positive you didn't say this about Barry Hall.

You wouldn't take Liam Jones for free if we could get him?

Yeah maybe, but will be 32 next year. I need convincing.

He's tall? Clearly you have prejudices against short people, old people and fat people but sometimes you just have to compromise on at least one of those.

I think if you are going to inject some experience the player should be someone 25 plus years old. I don't mind bringing an older player for a year, while another player develops. Martin we went one year too many.
I was wrong about Hall as he was terrific for us for the two years.

Sometimes he just hasn’t been picked though, right? Hasn’t always been injured.
But he has been injured a lot.

Last year he pretty much always played when fit - he never played in the VFL.
This season we obviously preferred English one out in the ruck to start, once he went down Stef came in before he went down as well to give Sweet a chance.

I don't believe so but there is a fair chance that will not be a requirement next season.

Thinking about it, Liam is not someone we have a pressing need for. I would rather draft some talls next year to be future KP players. Of course if we can get a top CHB from another club who will give us at least another 5 years that would work, however, the cap will most likely stop that, unless you give up someone.
