Liam Jones - Where is he at?

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

He just chases & chases. A few teammates could learn something from him.

Yep.

He is clearly in our best 22 just on his ability & willingness to chase.

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

He showed tremendous potential last night, needs to be a little more aware of teams mates when he is going for the ball. He ended up spoiling his own team mates a few times, but hey 3 game, aged 19, and still learning.

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

did some nice things and finished well. Did anyone see him get a nice spray from Rocket at 3 Qtr time though for not looking for Bazza on the lead.
It looked like Eade asked him why he didn't go to him on one particular occasion when Hall caught a nice break from Scarlett about 20 out in front.

Jones must've said, that he did look at it, and Eade responded very sharply "No you didn't!"

Congrats Liam on receiving your first public Rocket from Rocket!!

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

I noticed 3 things about Jones last night:
He lead to the right spots a number of occasions (through the corridor) and was 5 metres free. Gilbee on at least 2 occasions ignored him.

Secondly, Hall kicked to Jones on at least 3 occasions, the grubber kick to him the 1st, a one on one kick and the short pass in the last quarter.

Once his teammates have more faith in Jones (like Hall does) he will get more of the ball and we will get to see one of his real strengths, contested marking.

Thirdly, he does chase and would not be at all surprised if he stays in the side. Its not like we have another tall marking target up forward.

Annoyed me all night, they instead kicked to an outnumbered Hall.

Another fan of Jones.

Funny that a lot of us (definitely me included) had doubts over playing an extra tall as our forward line was already lack defensive pressure but our two young talls in Jones and Grant have just about been our forward defensive pressure leaders.

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

Someone asked me last night who you would prefer in your team to play our first final: Brad Johnson or Liam Jones.

I went for Jones.

I definitely agree.

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

I think he's been great, he chases hard and doesn't give up - a couple of times he didn't actually touch the player running, but put enough pressure on them to affect their kicks. That's all you can ask from a chase, I think a lot of his teammates can learn a bit from him.

He seems to know where the goals are, which is a good sign as well.

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

He looks the same colour as Hulk Hogan I reckon. Sort of an orangybecauseI'vebeeninthesunlamptoolong shade.

Beware the politics of Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage,
I know Bobby Jones well, he was the manager for the Palawa Aboriginal Basketball team for a while.
White Blonde or Ginger with blue eyes in Tasmania are generally aboriginal funny enough

Beat me to it, we should make him captain, at least we'd finally have a captain that would play for the team. As a bonus he may even stand up for us on the big stage.

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

The LJ Express keeps rolling along, he would have been earmarked to play one game in the Doggies line up, he earn't his 4th game in a row after last night imo, love his attack, pressure skills, INTENSITY which what makes this kid so exciting.

When he truly believes he is a perminent 22 player, and eventually finds his mark, players get used to him etc etc, watch him explode.

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

Yes I noticed quite a few times his leads being ignored.Geelong players seem to try and bring their young players into the game,perhaps some of our leaders need to have a look at themselves.It was a long trip home last night.

Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

And most on this forum were stirring me for jumping on so early....
I dont talk up a player so early in their career, in fact I have not done so on this forum...ever!

In the end it always comes down to a pissing contest with you.
