Liam Jones

[Mofra]

Liam's a lovely guy, lucky football came along or he'd be washing car windscreens for change on an intersection somewhere.
I am worried about how a guy at 32 years of age will go back in a system after 18 months out. Really worried.

At worse, he doesn't cost much, and works with young guys like Gardner/Buku to help their footy.

There's milions of places on the internet and even a wild ride of a thread here on WOOF where you can spout your cooked shit. Take it there.
As for cancel culture, it's merely a name given by a collective of people when their modus operandi was used against them.

Can you expand more on why you don't want to pick up Liam?

I'm not against getting him but so long out from the top level and being that he's getting older I think it's all cumulative.

To me this is a non-negotiable, and I trust that our medical team has done all the necessary due diligence on Jones from an injury/health perspective.

I'm less worried about him adapting back to the game as he was a very good reader of the play from D50 in any event. I think he makes us better and in an area of deficiency for us, which is all you can ask for a new recruit.

Does it reek of desperation?

I am worried about the amount of time he's been out.

The game has changes quite dramatically in that time too.

Plus hes old.

This sums up my thoughts exactly.

I'll admit it does feel a bit Jed Adcocky.

Nah I don't see it like that. It's an identified hole in our system being plugged by a guy that's proven to be able to fill it.

Agree mostly with what Sedat has said above, and I take on your other concerns as legitimate issues that we'll only find out about when he's back out there (or his calves start tearing).

Hawthorn took on a seemingly washed up Brian Lake at a similar age to plug a gap because they thought they were close and needed a key defender to bridge the gap between being close and helping them getting them over the line

Brian not only won 3 flags but was a Norm Smith medal.

I follow the NBA and I find it so weird we can be declarative about a deal without having any idea of what we are paying him. I see three years as excessive but perhaps the total financial outlay is quiet low.

It’s impossible to really judge if it’s a good call for mine without any idea of cap space he is taking.

Mate, because we have the opportunity to get a Pureblood.

Ha ha, now that's funny.

But I can't work out which way you want to go. Your original comment implied you didn't want him but this one does.

[Bullies]

I've always said that unless you are elite the game catches up with you super quick once you hit 31/32. Concerning that he has had a year out of the game as well. If it hasn't cost anything then have a crack but i wouldn't be overly confident he will be the answer down back. I would be more bullish if it was only a 2 year deal.
