If they aren't motivated to have the biggest pre-season of their lives to break into the wooden spooners best 22 then good luck elsewhere. They'll never get a better opportunity as 3rd/4th year players to cement a spot.

Yeah thank goodness for that!
Was like hitting a screaming drive up the centre on 18 after shooting a 107.
Keeps you coming back for another round.

I'm more wondering about their belief than their motivation. They are all trying hard.
Needs to get the ass.
So hard to work out , Jones just looks scared of going at the ball . Has speed and wins the time trials in Pre season but does not know where to go to get it. Needs to spend preseason playing on Matt Crouch who has an art of knowing how to get cheap ball.

Did it on 17 and 18 tonight thankfully, plus the marks that brought the goals.
Was glad he could kick from outside 50 again.
There is no denying that he had some good games this season and did some very clean clearance weaving out of traffic with his pace that you think this kid has something and then he back the good game with very poor game where he gets single digit possession, who knows if this strange season is affecting him more than other players.

Think he's his own hardest judge too.
I'm surprised we have continued to give Jones games, his confidence is totally shot, poor coaching to keep putting him out there

The fact he doesn't know how to get his own ball is a big concern. More natural ball winners are overtaking him at a fast rate....even younger players picked further down the draft.
Not looking good at all. Could be a great junior that never steps up at this rate.

Not going by some of the games I've seen him play this and last year, this kid definitely has something and can play, just not consistent in the strange season.
If you can’t see by now how Lynch absolutely destroys our ball movement, you can’t be helped. Stats tell you nothing.
I just can't see a place for him anymore.
It's no longer the 2017 game plan.
Would much rather he go out and Hamill come in for him.
Man I wish people would abstain from such overstatements.
so many people think they need to have these overstated hot takes like “He’s a bust” and everything needs to be in absolutes.
Just say he is struggling and that if he doesn’t improve he will be delisted. No one will disagree with that. But this obsessive need of some people to talk in absolutes like it somehow makes them seem more authoritative.
Keays has been a real surprise packet this year.
Well done to come in to a new and disorganised environment and perform the way he has.
Showed plenty of our players the way to go about it and he actually looked fit

Finishing last is a great result for the club.
Too long we have wallowed in mediocrity. Not terrible, not great.
This season has utterly exposed us for the pretenders we have been. Horrible coaching panel. Terrible admin. Garbage fitness. List that has not been good enough for 20 years. Shoestring budget for anything even remotely important at a football club. Nepotism galore.
Can't hide any more. We have access to the best talent as well. Only way is up

He needs to get back into the midfield.
The commentators keep talking about keeping experience in the team but they are the ones letting the team down all the time.
Not sure if Lynch and Smith and even Tex offered much this year and can see their contribution being even less next year.
Too many seem to go missing when the pressure is on.
