Yep he needs to have a good game. Adams back is a big inclusion.
He's not far off his last chance IMO. You can only come in go out and be best 22-25 players for so long. He needs to translate his excellent VFL form and show us something on par with his Elimination Final form last year or he will be on the outer once the cavalry arrives.
He's versatile and can cut the mustard at this level, he just needs to believe he belongs. Definitely has all the attributes.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Hopefully he finds some more consistency at the top level.

If i was the mc then picking Jong would be a final chance ahead of some others.
If he could play a successful negating role on danger that would be a huge win for us. Even just hit him hard an often.
The last few games Jong has started like a house on fire picking up 8 to 10 disposals in the first quarter, then he seems to die out. As Mantis said, when he gets reported it seems to effect his game. We need a four quarter effort from him.
Earlier this year in an article, he said he is trying to model his game on Dangerfield.

Yeah I think he's a bit of a introverted type that struggles to find that belief in his head.
Bevo needs to put him in the middle, let him play the role he plays at Footscray.
Playing off the forward line with bursts in the middle isn't his role and is probably the toughest role to play, especially for someone
who is not a natural at the game. Get him involved early and re-inforce that he needs to take the game on. Demand the ball from others and don't be satisfied to just give it to others to do.
Really hope he has a good game this weekend.
Webb is certainly copping the tough love this year, but maybe in the long run this will be a benefit to him. I haven't watched much Footscray this year but I'm guessing they are trying to add more strings to his bow, in particular his contested ball game.
