Player Watch Pick #16 (2020, match NGA bid) - Lachie Jones

[Lefti93]

He's been okay, since that Melbourne game. Still has some brain fart moments but I can see something there. In a good system I think he's a very handy player. He's a coachable type.

 

[Long live PAFC]

So had a run in the middle at SANFL today.
Is that a way to get his hands and thinking up to speed? Is there a future there as a big body, quick powerful mid?

He wasn't fumbly. That's the key to Lachie building an AFL career.

I don't think he will become a full time mid. But playing mid in the SANFL will be good for his development and it would be great if he could play mid in bursts.

If any position is going to help his deplorable ball handling - its centre square mid

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Time to reconsider Lachie’s position in the side. If he can get his body right I wouldn’t mind trialling him in the guts from next year, maybe coming off the bench for Wines.

He’s definitely got something, just needs to get fit & find some consistency.

This is not a sport where you can have an individual play solely to back up someone from the bench.

He will probably get a 2 year contract to prove himself (out of contract at the end of this season) but he's running out of time. He has a few good moments here and there but the majority of his games are poor.

And he's a soft tissue injury waiting to happen.

Still think his best position would be to play as a lock down small defender where he can use his pace and strength to overpower the more slight frames.

 

[Long live PAFC]

The guy has barely got to 50 games and is 22. Needs a bit of slack. Yea he has plenty to work on but there is plenty there to work with too. Can’t imagine he would be on lots of either.

Seems like the kind of guy that needs to work on ways to slow his mind, relax and utilise some mindfulness. Could also use an overseas trip with Boaky to get the body right.

He doesn't even have close to the mobility required.

What ya talking about? The kid is very fast and agile. His game sense, footy smarts and aptitude at the level are what he needs to work on.

Hes fast an explosive straight line. His turning circle isn't great

Delist imo

He's worth persisting with, but I'm not at all confident he'll develop into anything.

Hahah plenty of others Infront of him before that happens hahaha

He needs to watch tape with Esava and a decent backline coach.

He’s a good (I suspect professional) preseason away from being a very good AFL footballer.

 

[PowerBaz]

Delist imo

Still?

Could not agree more. I rate him highly.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Still?

Yes

 

[Macca19]

Overall he's had a good year. Just needs to close the gap between his worst and his best

 

[RossFC]

I'm seeing less fumbles compared to earlier in the year.

 

[yepits2020]

Yes

 

[Peninsula Boy]

He's improving and could be a weapon if he fulfils his potential.

I think he prefers the close one on one defending and beating his man than zoning.

I thought he was the most effective on the team when on Pickett.

 

[Rash]

why could port match the lachie jones bid, but we cant match cochrene? rule changes?
