Welcome to the Bulldogs Arthur Jones

[bullish23]

This kid has turned around our season. Incredible impact. What a find.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Move over, Eddie Betts, your successor has arrived.

 

[CDBulldog]

The way he can move at pace and pick up a ball off the deck cleanly and swivel and turn is awesome. Not long ago he was fumbling and overrunning the ball. The development has been incredible.

Love Arty but massive overreach here

Arty is turning into the exact player we've been crying out for. His pace and ability at ground level proved a game changer yesterday and should continue to be.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Played 7 games 6 wins that is 85.7% wins to loses. Proving to be an infectious good luck charm. Hoping he can keep this strike rate up.

Nice work by the Dogs fan, in a sea of blue

 

[dergert]

So we picked Arty up with the Lipinski pick we got from Collingwood.

Early days but this is looking like a win/win so far.

I have a massive feeling he is going to be something special as well as playing alongside with JUH and Naughton

What's his ceiling ?

Can he be as good Shai Bolton or is that stretch?

He compares very well to Shai at the same stage of their careers. Arthur Jones and Shai Bolton AFL Stats Comparison

The kid has all the tools and a serious engine and is not yet 20. He’s been influential in the last 2 games and a last qtr star… Sky’s the limit imo

I remember someone here posing the question whether we should try to get Shai Bolton a few years ago (maybe 2019 or 2020). At the time Bolton wasn't getting regular games and maybe had some "issues" so he was thought to be gettable. He would have been a very handy pickup for a second or third rounder!

The comparison is instructive but Arty is a different player and will have to find his own way to stardom. It will be unfortunate if the Arty bubble gets too big too quickly. Especially if Arty buys into all that BS.

He seems down to earth enough. Let's hope he stays grounded.

Living with Weightman is very important. Weightman has maturity beyond his years.

 

[bobs head soup]

Feels like Arty, Cody, Astro and Jamarra are building a tight little unit with a lot of years in front of them.

Seem similar personality types. A eal high energy, high quality forward line team within a team that can build serious chemistry and give us some fantastic years.

I can definitely see elements of Shai Boltons game in the way he can gather balls and change direction at full pace, he also has the same endeavor and creativity when it comes to keeping the play alive.
I don't think he has the aerial game or the field kicking skills of Bolton but we don't really want him flying for marks in our forward line anyway.

I think I remember him getting quite high in the last couple of weeks on one occasion. I don't remember the opposition but do remember being impressed with that. But you are right. He does not need to do that with our talls.

 

[VitalDread]

Arty ability to hold a handball to allow for the perfect pass its just beautiful to watch for such a young lad

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Rising star nomination not too far away.

 

[weltschmerz]

Rising star nomination not too far away.

It'll be either him or Bailey Humphrey this week. Humphrey has more stats to his name but Arty turned the game back around.

 

[Scott Tracy]

Arty robbed

 

[Norm De Guerre]

No rising star for you!

Yeah, but this is Bigfooty....so....

I’m really talking about personal appeal at this stage, but hopefully his skills will also follow suit.

I was advocating that we try and trade for Shai Bolton a couple years ago for the small forward role. Think that I was among a couple of others on that one though. Would have been a good pick up but realistically at the time it would have been difficult to get him to move to the Dogs
