[Lore]

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

Severity of injury? Once he went off, Dees started to intercept much more easily.

Hope it is not too bad. He was starting to look like he was going to break free.

I noticed this as well. Petty got off the chain when Jones went off and was intercepting everything in the 3rd quarter.

Structurally it shows why they continue to pick him. Don't know what he came off with though, hopefully right with a big break until Anzac day?

Lyon and Dunstall were like, "Petty has upped his game and is intercepting everything," as though they could not link this to Jones going off. Idiots.

 

[Vindicater]

He just runs and runs.

Any news of an injury?

Ankle injury, will be given every chance to prove his fitness

Young key position player Harrison Jones will be monitored after injuring his ankle in Essendon's win over Melbourne on Saturday.

McPherson said he will be given every chance to prove their fitness.

"'Jonesy' suffered an ankle injury on the weekend," he said.

"On a modified program early in the week, but the longer break gives him a good chance to be available to play."

Injury news: Weideman recovered from concussion, Reid to lineup for first game

“ankle injuries” who the hell assaulted all his ankles

 

[wichidi]

Remember when he had sticky hands? Would float in front of packs like a gliding seagull looking for a chip?
I reckon he is close to that again and finding some good form.
Agree goal kicking needs work though.

Two years ago, and even last year, I thought this guy was going to be a very special player. It saddens me to see him out of the side and I am hoping it is just a temporary thing.

It is, he will be

Can we play him and Weiderman in the same team? Or do we try and play him in a different position for flexibility like we are currently doing with Langford?

I'd play Jones and drop Phillips. Weid can do some backup ruck. Phillips has been poor the past two weeks. Jones can work hard up the ground and provide a marking option.

He missed the vfl and the afl on Anzac weekend, omitted but also dealing with an ankle injury that didn’t quite come up.

Then last weekend he was an AFL emergency but there was no VFL so he didn’t play at all.

If he’s supposed to be finding form and confidence then I’m not sure how he’s supposed to do it without actually playing

That sounds like a week or two in the VFL is in order.

Unlucky time to cop an injury basically

 

[eth-dog]

Play him in the VFL the next month. Should be a good chance to regain confidence

 

[yodellinhank]

He missed. Typical.

 

[maskmcgee]

What about playing him in defense and putting Landford forward

 

[Beerfish]

He can take Dixon.

 

[maskmcgee]

He's got the workrate to play defence, he has no problem getting to the contests and getting a hand on the ball, and would benefit from getting a bunch of uncontested marks. Why not try it?

yep... and now he's not named at either level and I can't find any evidence that he was even at training, he's not in the club's training photos or any of the photos posted by plebs on the internet, nor is he mentioned in any training notes

Does he even exist?

Something Ive noticed amongst this group of new KPF's, they all seem to have a nasty, aggressive streak in them.

Van Rooyen, Cadman, Ugle Hagan.

Jones is a nice player who im not sure will stick his head where it shouldn't go

The last line is rubbish. He has had zero issues attacking the footy.
