Jake was dropped twice last year. But each game he missed Doedee got injured and he was straight back.
Doedee started calling himself Lazarus and jinxed himself in the process.

Jones ..

fmd Gollant still looks like an U/16er .. he's going to be 6 meals a day for a while yet
I wish Jones had that kind of rig.

What did he do to Chayce ?

Messed with his head. Made him play a totally different role that got him drafted in the 1 st place. Jones in the end was that uncertain of how Godden wanted him to play, he was standing on the outside of packs ball watching. It was cruel to have to watch it.
Worst part is if Jones has to play SANFL to start the year, he will have to contend with Godden as his coach again. Hopefully the psyche the club sent him to at season's end will keep his head straight. Time will tell.

Re outrageous shreddedness in recent photos, pretty much all photos get processing these days in software. You can adjust parameters easily to enhance contrast. A lot of these photos look like they’ve had the ‘preseason ripped’ filter applied pretty heavily.
 
We always have just enough injuries that our duds play
Kelly is a good senior guy to have as backup. The issue comes, like it did with Kyle Cheney a bit were coaches like the consistency they bring due to their experience and overlook youngsters with more potential.

That's not surprising, I posted in season that the expression on Jones' face at a quarter break huddle was as if he was about to cry. He just looked like he was under that much pressure.

The problem with Kelly is that he's a momentum killer. If you value a game plan, style or playing a certain way, he simply shouldn't get selected as he ruins it.

What's worse is the opposition knows that so they cover other options and leave Kelly open as the next link in the chain. Gives then time to set up downfield for the intercept/counter attack.

Even during the preseason training photos, he looks under immense pressure a bit miserable.

Hope he gets over the hump.
 
Lots of talk/banter around Jones.. we all hope he clicks and strings a few good games together then he's is off and running..

Any news on Fish this pre season ? (Other than that run) he did one or two good things last yr. Hoping to see rapid improvement from pick 7.

There were games where we appeared to have him running with opposition players.

This season we just need to set him loose. I would run him mainly off a wing with license.

Which is why if we have the likes of Milera, Hamill, McPherson & Doedee instead, our ball movement will be far better.
