    Free agency opens Friday. Why would it wait? Is there an issue with list spots or salary?



    “Liam Jones has nominated the Western Bulldogs as his preferred playing destination for the 2023 season.

    After sitting out the 2022 AFL season, Jones was classified by the League as an Unrestricted Free Agent, allowing him to automatically move to the Club of his choice.

    The Bulldogs will work with Jones and his management to facilitate a move within the trade and free agency period.”

    What is a realistic expectation for Jones next season? Can he get back close to his 2021 efforts?

    Realistically he should play 22 games baring injury. Otherwise why get him.

    Re: Liam Jones

    He has the ability to play on the opposition's best forward. His one on one numbers are elite which will help our backline immensely, especially with the way we defend the ground. I think we've been wanting to play 3 talls back but haven't had the mix right. Jones frees up Keath and Gardner, or whoever else we choose in that role to play on lesser players and have a greater influence.

    If Jones allows Keath to recapture his 2021 form, than we'll be have a very formidable backline.

    It could very well be a terrific pairing for us and have them supported by Gards.
