Liam has been outstanding in defence since returning to the club with consistent strong performances and all those marks Out Of Nowhere!
Good on ya!
Good on ya!
I don't get it. Why isn't he being talked up? Everyone seems to be hyping up Roughead and Cordy yet forget about Jones. He was chosen as a #32 draft pick due to injuries meaning he could potentiallybe even better than anyone anticipated (Similar to J.Selwood/C.Judd) though I hardly hear about him. Is there any news on how he's training/playing? Could he be the future KP Power Forward option?
So a few people mentioned that the Channel Ten news have said that Liam Jones will be playing this week, god i hope its true
This kid is going to be great, cant wait to see how he goes at the top level.
Kid's going to be a ripper once he grows into that body...
Can't find a link, but the club are reporting it via Facebook so it must be on the money.

Stats history: Liam Jones (AFL Tables)
After 5 games late in 2010, Jones managed 20 games in 2011 (only missing 2 games early in the year), taking out the award for most improved player. He lead the club in contested marks (43), well ahead of Barry Hall (19) and took a respectable 96 marks overall (3rd) including 27 inside 50 (3rd). Although not having a standout game, he managed 2 goals on 5 occasions against Richmond, West Coast, St.Kilda, Hawthorn and Fremantle. The last game earnt him a nomination for the NAB Rising Star award.
Jones's main strength is his contested marking. His field kicking and/or decision making needs improvement, but his goal kicking is reasonably accurate within 40m. An increase in leg strength should enable him to take shots from further out.
