    Re: Liam Jones - Where is he at?

    Showed some very good signs this year and probably proved to be further advanced than previously thought.

    He needs to improve his aerobic capabilities, which given his age will improve. He also needs to improve his kicking which was at best average this year, but overall there is a fair bit to work with.

      He's still a kid and so we can't be relying on him to hold down a key position next year. Need to be careful with his development.

        Hopefully this preseason he can put a bit of muscle on his upper body and increase his aerobic capacity and I think he can have a bit of an impact, he's already quite strong through the legs, is genuinely quick, and is a very strong contested mark.

        Certainly the best KPF prospect we've had in a long time.

          I'm still a fan of his, and did not expect him to debut this year given he was a 19 year old who played school football for most of last year.
          He adds height, defensive pressure and demands a tall backman. What he offers us as a side exceeds his playing ability at this point in time, which will imporve with more senior gametime. He'd have to fancy his chances of stamping himself a best 22 player next year after a big pre-season.

            I have no doubt in my mind the kid will make it. Him Roughead and Grant seem certainties. On that note does anyone think we paid overs for Cordy?

              Bit early to tell. I guess time will tell, but right now I'm reasonably comfortable with what we did.

                Why note Richmond did it this year and he won the coleman medal.

                I hope that he could play with Barry next year and learn from the master.

                Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                  Can see why you would think that, but the flip side wasn't worth it, Saints bid early first round for him, so realistically was a good deal for us to nab him.

                  With his frame, id expect him to get his shoulders sorted (aka Andrew Walker) then come out and show us his promise.

                  Talls take a while to deliver, Kreuzer is a good example of that, even Nic Nat was a huge disappointment this year.
