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

[Harro59]

Great first game but the bloke, clearly made of some pretty solid stuff. Just a great young player and excited for what he will being to Port as gets more experienced.

The Brute was Bute tonight. As per Swamp's tweet only the 4th player in V/AFL history to make his debut on his birthday against the reigning premier. And on a Friday Night at home and in front of a national audience. can't get much of a bigger stage in a minor round game to debut.

Showed some of his teammates how to play with energy early on when we were flat. Did some important chase downs in the last quarter.

Talks really well

 

[PAFC_1870]

Started slowly, looked overly keen and had a few bad moments.

Improved immensely as it went on.

 

[TeeKray]

I love how he's not getting carried away with anything. He's all business which I love in a player.

Better than Hodge. My god

You guys have got a ripper!! Loved his game last night...few nervous moments early on, but the fact he got better as the game went on shows how good he will be...seems to have a great head on his shoulders.

the best thing about his game was his controlled aggression and attack of both the ball and opposition...reminds me of a young Luke hodge...enjoy the ride with him, he will bring you guys a lot of joy.

Good luck for the rest of the season..I think you guys are primed..early season injuries a good test of your depth, but rather have the injuries now than in September.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Was excellent last night and looks a gun in the making. Hope we get too see him with some stints through the midfield at some point this year

 

[Powerage]

I've seen enough. He should get games for the rest of the season. He is astute enough to learn from his mistakes, talented enough not to repeat them and is the perfect package in controlled aggression.

I Don't know whether it is good or bad he looks like an 80's bogan who should be wearing his favourite flannie with a package of cigarettes tucked under his shoulder while slugging down a cold beer but it is all Port Adelaide as is his style of play.

 

[jakey]

Love that he owns the mullet, Ken's disapproval, the cult status and the crowd attention and everything that happens onfield with no ****s given.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

That’s because the opposition kept dropping the ball as soon as they saw him approaching. No need to tackle

 

[Steve Dore]

Lachie Jones of Caerbannog, he'll do you a treat mate.

The fact that Hinkley disapproves of it makes me like it even more.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Cult figure, charisma (compelling attractiveness) or whatever he's got he's definitely got it. The roar when he bested Lynch in the last qtr was goosebump stuff.

What you notice watching him live is how quick he is. When he was picked I gulped, thinking sheesh he's going to be out of his depth. Martin will take him to the cleaners.


pfft

Just think he is a typical country kid and simply takes it in his stride and is very humble as a result. Reminds me of the great man himself from the river land. IMHO he will blossom quickly.

Sheesh looks real old school.

Harkens me back to Bodgies and Widgies when Alberton's northern end was a sea of drainpipes ripples and loud shirts in a cloud of cigarette smoke.

 

[Lord Flasheart]

Reminds me of Corey Enright, the no fuss confidence and self assuredness, combined with natural football talent, the SA country way.

Wasn’t he a Prospect lad?

 

[dav3]

Wasn’t he a Prospect lad?

Wikipedia says he grew up in Kimba

As dav3 posted, he's from Kimba. Was in our country zone and played some junior football for the Magpies IIRC.
