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

Bullish on him being able to work with 2MP &/or Draper as a marking target in the fwd half. With our lowering of the eyes and kicking to space, hopefully we can see not just Harry but the other marking targets inside 50 benefit from this.

Harry needs to keep using that tank of his to work up and down the ground because if it clicks, we could have a very serviceable link up player on our hands.

 

[Duckworth]

His running game was strong, as it was also in week 1. He was able to get hands to the ball in both games, it makes such a difference when a few actually stick.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Played more like his cousin yesterday. Loved it. 2 goals were great, but I really liked how often he outran his man to give us a marking option up the field

Who is his cousin??

 

[ghostdog]

I agree with so many posts here. Harry's ability to get up the ground and give us connection was brilliant. Needs to stay in and hopefully has some confidence from it. Hopefully Aliir won't follow him up the ground.

Who is his cousin??

I think he's saying he played more like Jack's cousin Nick Riewoldt.

For the first time in around 18 months, Harrison Jones showed up!

I know injuries haven't helped, but he had barely looked  vfl standard.
Hoping this is the platform Harry needs to get confident and playing well again.

Has he ever played well when playing alongside Wright? I don't so.

The whole of 2021?

Yeah that's wright.

Yeah that's wright.

$3k to ban you looking real cheap right now.

$3k to ban you looking real cheap right now.

fond memories of when old mate Frodo's Gardiner actually did pony up the $3k (!!) to get me permabanned.

Ironically, I'm still here and he's permabanned. Funny how life works out

I think I've now now seen everything.

I'd rather buy 5 or 6 coffees with that money.

So many questions….

1) Why did he so dislike you that he’d stump up $3k to have you banned?
2) What is the 3k for? Are mods bribable when it comes to this stuff? Which ones? Is $3k still the price?
3) Can I get anyone permabanned for $3k or whatever the going rate is?
4) Having stumped up the cash, why did his ban bid fail?

Have you never read Lance's posts before?

What boncer34 said.

If Harry can play like this week in week out, he helps our structure more than Wright does.

Langford and draper provide strong marking options inside 50, we're greatly lacking a marking option to help us move to the attacking half. If Harry provides this, I suspect our inside 50 efficiency increases as the ball moves quicker up the ground and our forwards are more likely to have 1 on 1 contests

Lance Uppercut, most interested in question 1. I thought Frodo's Gardiner seemed like a very reasonable poster(?)

 

[Duckworth]

Kicking some goals.

 

[MiguelM]

Along with McKay & Dursma, one of the few who can hold their head up tonight IMO.

 

[quotemokc]

Battled hard despite shit delivery

 

[Vander18]

Very good game in difficult circumstances.

Ran hard, competed all night and marked the ones he should have marked. Brought the ball to ground from difficult positions on multiple occasions. Kicked a very difficult goal.

Confidence is returning and he’s starting to show the talent we saw in 2021. Happy for the young bloke.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Really good game.

 

[MiguelM]

His marking has impressed me. 9 marks, highest on the ground. This is huge considering we are one of the worst marking sides in the comp. Esp when you consider that Goldstien and Draper took just 1 mark each!

And another 14.4km covered. If he starts getting some continuity and some more confidence. He’ll be able to blow up opponents running them all over the ground. He’s got the best work rate of a forward that we’ve had in a long long time.
