The brief clip on ch 10 news showed John Coleman Jones holding on to a chest mark.

Things are looking up for the great man.

oh boy, nothin beats a big mobile fwd storming out of the goal squares and crushing the life out of the ball as he brings it to his chest.
Due to having plenty of computer savvy friends in Nigeria, who doesn't use them for all of your computer needs.

Anyway somehow one of em managed to access CCJ's computer and found the below.

 
Matthew Scott. Oscar Junker. Tim Maginness!
Mitch (the twig) Wilkins....#47 in 2012 draft, plucked him out of SA schoolboy footy with no other exposed form. Seem to remember him struggle to keep up on a hike in the Utah snow. Did go on to play 90 SANFL games before retiring last year.

Donald McDonald: People haven't seen a lot of (Wilkins), he's been playing private schoolboy footy in South Australia and he's been injured but he'll be a good acquisition for us as well.

.....hmmmm rookie at best Donald!

Max Warren.

Recieved the most obviously gifted game in AFL history.
At least he was a really dedicated kid who ground away on the rookie list for 1 consolation senior game.

I hated us gifting JHFF a best first year player award far more, just reeked of desperation. It was like Cam "Dustin we've upped the offer" Joyce came back for one last hurrah.
 
Clarkson has a history of turning mediocre players into very good ones i.e. hale, gibson. You could already see that at north. Him starting sheezal and mccercher at hb is just a glimpse of his brilliant. Under scott the two would start in the middle and of course struggle for a few years stunting their growth and ability to reach their potential. Putting comben into defense is just like putting tarrant into defense it's just that tarrant to fb took like 8 years, same with daw. Great coaches turn ok players into really good, see malthouse with leigh brown.

There's no comparison between Hale/Gibson pre-Clarkson and CCJ.
 
Hearing CJ may "debut" for us this week. Apparently Viney and Clarkson have no recollection of him playing for us and he wasn't game to correct them.

The confused FaceTime calls with his parents filmed yesterday are said to be especially hard to watch.
