Hopefully it is a valuable lesson for him. I saw him complaining to the umps quite a bit too which to be fair was not surprising considering the Saints tactics but still, he needs to be better than that.

It's disappointing. I really liked the forward spine last week and thought it would have worked well with Grant up there with them. That didn't happen unfortunately.

We really need another forward in there who can make their opponent accountable, until then Jones is going to be double and triple teamed.

Jones is being stuffed around by a coach with no idea how to use him.
Treacle slow poor delivery then a novice in his place.
In one week out the next.
No wonder he has no confidence and gives up.

When teams chop and change the team week in, week out it correlates to a team not doing too well but it's more about I think the quality of our list that's giving us this poor season.

Even though Jones should probably have been played more, he's been our worst performed player on the list.

Confidence with Jones is low and it doesn't help with the woeful delivery into our forward line. What would be the best way to deal with him because I think he can become a good player for us even though the signs are non existent at the moment.

Worst? Just looking at the tall forwards Skinner is easily worse but has got a game. Cordy is no better but because it's his first full year. Campbell hasn't should anything more. Williams is an experiment with results you expect from an 80 gamer.

Delivery is poor but it does not excuse his efforts. He has been absolutely dreadful this season.

A few months ago, GVGjr and others suggested he play at CHB. It's something we probably should have tried, so that he gets something out of the season. It looks like being a complete write off at this stage.

Jones still has the potential to be a good player, but he has a very, very long way to go.

I wouldn't exactly say Jones has out-performed Skinner. That's how bad he's been.

Worse than 2 games 5 kicks 3 hbs 0 marks and 2 fluke goals?
Even at Vfl level Jones has played well and promoted on performances whereas I can't say the same for Zeph.

Age is on his side as well so that's a positive. Hopefully in the draft we get a really great KPF but that's easier said than done.

The fact that you are even comparing Jones to Skinner is evidence to the fact that he's been beyond poor.

I don't think Jones has even had 1 good AFL game this season.

That's as many as Skinner.
Just disputing that he was our worst performed on the list as you said.

You could throw a blanket over the two of them, so I am not sure you're proving anything?

Whilst you may try to find every possible way to criticise the coaching group, even you cannot excuse Jones and his output in 2012.

I recall Jones played pretty well against Geelong.

He has been as poor as most of our forwards have been poor. He more has been most disappointing because he was suppose to shoulder the load.
I dont appcept that it's all his fault, as mentioned delivery, game style, the cycle of promotion then demotion and others playing in his place must be noted.
Whose fault is that ?
