Toast Welcome to Carlton Liam Jones

[Omega Blue]

Welcome Liam.

Not sold on the player but I believe he's probably better than any forward we could pick up in the mid 40s of the draft.

One major bonus this gives us is; after kicking a point which lets face it we will probably do a lot of, having both Jones and Casboult being contested marking beasts will ensure that when the opposition goes long with the kick out (usually to a ruckmen) we will have an excellent opportunity to get the ball back.

I'm starting to like this Docherty kid...

He's pretty good isn't he!

 

[Sublime]

I see a lot of people saying how good our marking will be next year, but i really don't see it any different than last year. Waite is excellent in the air, as is Jones. The rest of our forwardline will be pretty similar to this year. I think Jones will be good for us (and durable), i just don't see it as the massive step forward (yet).

 

[El Topo]

Get his fitness up to scratch and we may have a Matt Clape style pickup on our hands. Absolutely stoked with what Malthouse is doing to the list.

Jones and Tutt already at it again! Along with Matthew Watson's sister Liz

Walker, Henderson, Thomas
Jones, Casboult, Menzel

The ball may never touch the ground.

You're playing Casboult in the firsts? okay...

I'm playing him in the first with a 5m tether from the goal posts.

 

[Azul]

Can we call him Percy?

Nº 26 is available. I'm calling him Rhys.

 

[bluebrew]

You're playing Casboult in the firsts? okay...

Send him to me for a month and I will send back the best set shot in the league....His kicking only blows when he has time to think about the kick. that is totally fixable and that it has not been to date shows how atrocious technical coaching is in the afl.

I mean OMG! What took you so long?

Hope that works better than Levi's first experience of being tethered at Carlton....

Wouldn't want too either, not much speed or defensive pressure there.

Switch over Jones & Liz Watsons legs and wouldn't know the difference. Gotta get some meat on those bones!

 

[Igloo]

You got him stupidly cheap (especially in comparison to Stanley for 21 ). Will most likely flourish not having to be the #1 target.
Your biggest battle is against his brain and his tank.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Hope good things come from him at the Blues, Welcome.

 

[Chism]

Was listening to SEN all day at work and was rapt when we landed Liam for a pick that late.

Like many others have mentioned his hands are his biggest strength and he can mark a ball with the best in the AFL. Kicking o.k that may need work but if he is clunking them 25m out on the oppositions 3rd rated defender out who cares!!

Dogs have done the hard work with him developing and maturing a young KPP and we get someone hopefully ready to break out who will not be the sole focus of a teams forward line like he was at the Dogs allowing him some freedom and the 3rd best defender at best.

Welcome to Carlton Liam and go get em mate.

 

[zeeCFC]

Cas can teach him to run. Hendo can fix his head. He can teach Cas to fix his kicking...Menz can sit back and laugh at the mere humans.

 

[Igloo]

I thought we lost Waite.

Will you be calling Jones, Waite Jnr?

 

[zeeCFC]

Will you be calling Jones, Waite Jnr?

Waite was Waite Jnr

Not Tom?
