Got a ton of time for this fella.

Amongst all the crap postings on his "**** off, Jones" thread on the WB site I found this heartening effort:
I compare Jones to Jay Schulz. Both high leaping marks capable and both slow start to their careers. Schulz flourished with a scenery change. Could also happen to Jones, I don't see any improvement if he stays.

It's a little like Josh Kennedy. Ignored second banana behind Fev, development was stifled, Blues were ordinary. May had ended up defeated like Luke Livingston if we hadn't traded him. Sometimes that change of scenery (and program) is necessary.

Going to try and get out and watch the boys train early next year.
Jones is certainly one I'm going to keep a close eye on. If he can have an impact for us he could help lift us into the finals.

Hoping Jones can have an impact for us in 2015 but really hope he learns to go for marks with his hand rather than trying to take every one on his chest.
That could be a hard habit to break.

Gunston is probably the best third tall in the business at the moment.
He is third tall because he isn't big and strong enough to take on the big defenders.
Often the third tall is just a role player, but Gunston, imo surpasses that.

Could we compare Liam Jones to Jesse White? In terms of role playing?

Not sure he's as mobile and athletic as White, but Jones is a better mark than White.

I like what I'm hearing from Malthouse about Jones. Can't put my finger on it, but my gut tells me this kid could be something special for us.

I am very hopeful for jones.
But the whole "jones could be like Shultz" comparison reminds me a lot of the "he's fat and slow but so was Greg Williams" argument

I think Jones is one of those players whose development was affected by a team in transition from flag challenger to cellar dweller.

Is he too much like Henderson? I sure hope so.
We haven't seen the best of Henderson yet as he's probably been injured/carrying injuries for the bulk of his time with us.
