AFL Player #23: Harrison Jones - Clocks up 50th game v Gold Coast - 5/8

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 22, Duckworth

 

[NAB777]

He's ooc this year. We only gave him 1 year remember?

Ta...you'd think they'd lock him away in a few weeks.

 

[Ants]

Genuinely one of the most exciting wing prospects I've seen. Did he ever play there in juniors? If yes then why did it take us so long to figure out? If no then brilliant coaching move

A blitzes said he played midfield in juniors before having a growth spurt.

He's ooc this year. We only gave him 1 year remember?

I believe he triggered a one year extension based on games played.

 

[andleanback]

He’s our best forward half pressure player at 195cm. Loved the tackle of de goey. Playing wing suits his ability to float in across a pack untouched

 

[Agronomus]

I'd try him at CHB. Good height, agile and quick. Or HBF for "learnings"

 

[Ambrosia]

If this form is his new baseline we really are going places as a team.

Who's our CHB at the moment. Redman?

Saturday was probably a good day to throw him in the back half.

With Hayes, VFL and Baldwin and Reid injured

Absolutely love his move to the wing. Becoming what we wanted cox to be all along. Perfectly suits his style of play, drifting across the side of packs when going forward or back, and has the running power to lose his man, or beat him with a height advantage. Also looks a lot more confident which is lovely to see

 

[ant555]

Just not on a wet night.

He honestly looks semi decent around stoppages too which is a nice extra.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Hope we attempt to run him through the guts. His clean hands, movement and handballing were amazing around stoppage.

Finally found our Bontempelli?

Harry Nathan Jones

Shave those locks

 

[Call Me Cake]

Jones is more N.Reiwoldt like.

 

[Yoda_]

Might be improving on his impact on the wing but the output hasn't transpired in quantity. IS a move back forward likely?

 

[Old Campaigner]

I thought he was decent.
He’s not a natural winger but he’s better than Tsatas until we get an actual wingman

 

[BomberTime]

Seems to start hot and then fades out completely. I was surprised to see he only had 8 touches.

Think the move is worth persisting with, and needs more time to develop it over preseason.

 

[ant555]

Got burnt defensively a few times but is a work in progress.

Not giving him much time to learn a spot. What are we doing here looking for short term fix or future being out about a few blokes long term ?
You are the one always lamenting the Dodoro effect. Maybe give the next lot time to actually do something and not just one season.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Good stuff Harry

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

A winger my arse

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Kudos again to young Harrison
