Re: Following our ex's...................

Heard they wanted to pay him out after last season , and that wouldn't inspire confidence in yourself .
It's hard to believe he's gone further backwards with them .
They're in a world of pain, and it's just wonderful

I'm assuming it's Jones you are referring to?

Re: Following our ex's...................

In modern footy it's just about impossible to go quarters without appearing on the TV screen.

Jones somehow manages this.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Is he a confidence player whose confidence is utterly shot?

I'd say this. And of course his limited tank means he'll never be able to cover the miles a KPF has to these days.

Liam Jones has two years left on his contract with Carlton and at the moment he is a long way off deserving a senior game even with last year’s wooden spoon winners, says Mark Robinson.

He has suggested that former Blues coach Mick Malthouse ought to be blamed for the club having a senior player on the list that looks incapable of producing on the field.

“We can sugar-coat it or be brutally honest, but he can’t play round one,” said Robinson on SEN radio.

“What he did yesterday, which was really good, was his aggression on the contest but the problem is he can’t mark it and he can’t get it.”

The 25-year-old forward only managed one disposal against Essendon in the ten-goal defeat at Ikon Park on Sunday, following up from his one-touch performance in the first NAB Challenge game.

“If Brendon Bolton is about setting standards Liam Jones hasn’t done anything near enough to be earning him a spot,” added Robinson.

“I’m going to be really brutal here, it’s not Liam Jones’ fault.

“He got drafted and he is absolutely doing everything he possibly can and we’ve seen him play some really good football.

“What has put Liam in this position I believe is Mick Malthouse, he recruited Liam and put him on a three-year contract at Carlton.

“Most people thought Liam was dead as a footballer and with that becomes the expectation – that’s been a really bad decision.”

All well and good, but you know what, we tried to keep him but he wanted to leave.

Possibly but he wouldn't have got a 3 year contract with us. That is the crux of the article.

True, but we also thought he would be a good player for us. We can laugh at Carlton, but he also had us fooled.

With us he never consistently put in the type of terrible performances he has at Carlton. He played some very good games and some very bad, nothing was ever consistent, since going to Carlton he's gone backwards dramatically as a player.

Yep, it's Jones

He played the occasional decent game for us .
He's been appalling with them

Re: Following our ex's...................

Apart from the Footscray premiership. They will always have a special spot as Footscray premiership players at least. Thing is though Liam Jones kicked 5 that day and was instrumental in turning the momentum back our way and keeping it there in the last quarter. I think that performance maybe what motivated Carlton.

Praise the Lord that it did!!

Well, Callan Ward's just signed a 5 year extension at GWS, so that fish is fried..

Actually it's when they re-sign a contract extension that GWS players minds seem to turn to home.
