    Re: Liam Jones' First Outing In Carton Colours

    Mick and every Carlton supporter were Liam fans for a quarter.... But where did he go? Very familiar...

    Although if he does average 2 goals a game he will be good value for Carlton.

      To be fair to Liam, the ball was hardly in Carlton's forward line after quarter time. Carlton had 11 shots to quarter time and for the next three quarters had another 12 scoring shots. Not sure on the quarter by quarter inside 50, but this tells me there were very few opportunities.

        On the flip side we'd be reminded by all and sundry in " why did we let him go" when he plays a decent game.
        He still doesn't understand why he didnt get a gig last year?
        Good luck

          It was gold watching Jones last night. I still remember a post on here about Jones in a intraclub game which I always giggle about. Will only ever be a cameo player at best and he adds perfectly to what is a very average Carlton list going forward full of second hand players.

            I was amazed how often he flew for the mark and then simply stopped.

              Micks new marking technique for him?

                I didn't see anything slightly different to when he played with us.
                Flying high dropping marks and getting the odd goal
                Same player, same effort, same result.

                  I reckon Mick would tear strips off him for his lack of second efforts. I thought Jaksch looked very petulant at times too. Hope he was injured.....

                    I think they will look back at their list management and see what we saw after Cheap As Chips. A desperate coaching bypassing draft picks to try bypass rebuilding in a selfish attempt to keep their job. As for the sprays, I think he will look to Macca sprays and realise it wasn't that bad after all.

                      I wouldn't think so. One of the reasons he left was the coach was picking on him.

                      Its how he reacts next week
                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        Disagree.

                        I am happy we were able to help Jones get to another club - he needed to move on and we needed to move him on. I still have hope for him as a player though and don't really enjoy watching him struggle.

                            Yep.

                            I'm a bit Meh with Liam, he's never going to be more than a Trent Bartlett type player.

                            Very happy to get the pick we got for him though, suckers.
