He also had strong hands and a fair bit of courage.Can think of another hard running CHF that was never super big, just outworked his opponent. That's what Jones should be modelling his game on.

Vindicator has his Cox teasers but this guy is my teaser! He has wheels and his pressure acts are second to none imo. I too am reminded of Nick Rewoilt when I watch him. Nick though from a very early age was sticking marks and throwing his body in no man’s land!Has to get his marking sorted to go forward. He has the work rate and leads up at the footy but he is only holding around 30% of the chances he gets his hand to. He is never going to be a big monster so he has to be taking marks on the lead. If he is getting 12 chances on the lead he needs to be pulling in at least 6 of them. If he can not then he is shot as a forward and dare I say it may have to be converted to defense which is less than ideal.
A little deceptive.
He's completed four years as a player on the list but was held back to fill out for his first, so he's had realistically 3 years of playing potential.
And in the first of those he was pretty good and showed good signs (2021).
So two years (2022/2023) of his playing potential has been underwhelming, with the latter cruelled by injury.
Currently 22 and just a year older than Perkins, Reid and Cox.
Not saying he doesn't need to show more, and improve. But to claim that he's been somewhat of a long-term list clogger who was only around based on some fantasy potential is a little disingenuous. IMO he's been downtrodden more than most comparative to other KPF prospects at his stage and I presume it's had a little to do with our impatience when it comes to our forward woes.
Well said my manNot really.
Will be 23 by round 1/in a month - if he doesn’t put it together this year, I think he’s in trouble.
I think it’s quite the opposite - we’ve been fairly patient. Most successful players of his type have shown a bit more by this stage of their career.
With a clean run at it, I think he can make it.
I hope this doesn't mean they've signed him to a long term deal.Apparently not at training??
Stand by this.That's his career for me
Think you might be right. He just seems to be the invisible man when he’s playing.Stand by this.
His only attribute right now is his ability to run and he doesn't use it well.Think you might be right. He just seems to be the invisible man when he’s playing.
Well at least we only gave him one year, so it’s make or break for him this year.His only attribute right now is his ability to run and he doesn't use it well.
