Re: Footscray Football Club Recruits 2020

First up, a potential signing that fits both our need for a small forward and our desire to introduce indigenous players...

Roos, Blues circling cut Cats pressure forward

DELISTED Geelong forward Jamaine Jones could be set for an AFL lifeline after attracting interest from North Melbourne ahead of this month's draft period.

Jones was cut by the Cats in September after seven AFL games across three seasons at GMHBA Stadium.

Now the Roos have enquired about the potential of the 21-year-old filling a hole as a small forward, while Carlton has also shown preliminary interest.

A pressure player who was also used in parts down back this season in the VFL, Jones would assist the Roos in attack after they ranked 17th for tackles inside forward 50 this year.

The Roos remain without a list manager after parting ways with Michael McMahon last month, with recruiting boss Mark Finnigan heading up plans for the upcoming drafts.

Should Jones not earn a second chance, he is poised to sign for Footscray's VFL side, with the potential of training with the Dogs' AFL line-up over summer.

As showcased most notably by Sydney Stack last year, players overlooked in the draft can now be signed up until March via the pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP).

It could also open the door as an option for a berth in the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft at Whitten Oval after the Dogs selected Ryan Gardner through the same channel this year.

The Dogs have also selected AFL-listed pair Billy Gowers and Will Hayes from their VFL program in the past two seasons.

Jones, who hails from Portland, debuted for the Cats in 2018 after a phenomenal journey from being a foster child moving all over the state of Victoria.

He was this year nominated for the Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award for his work with the Barwon Child Youth & Family's Foster Care Campaign and the Cats' Djilang Program.

Its like those bar scenes in the old day western films when the piano player stops playing and all of a sudden you realise that the doors are still swinging on their hinges.

Would you rather:
1) Be an umpire
2) Barrack for GWS?

Hmmmm...

That's a bloody good question. Umpire probably. One senior AFL game umpired and sending off 16 opposition players (despite the lack of a send off rule) and us winning by 300 points would be a record o be proud of.

Re: Footscray Football Club List News 2020

Paul Amy reporting that Nick Jamieson will be returning

also Jesse Glass-McCasker (formerly Carlton) is tipped to join up. Happy to hear of this. I was quite a fan in his draft year (same draft as Schache & played on him). Thought he was a better prospect than Kieren Collins. They've swapped clubs!

Delisted Ex-Collingwood player Ben Crocker is set to join Footscray or Richmond VFL if he misses out on another chance on an AFL list.
