David King just said Liam Jones has only lost 1 one on one all year. What a recruit he’s been.

He’s going at 25% loss rate according the AFL app so I’m not sure where Kings getting that from? Once he went at just 14% from over 100 contests though - he is seriously good defensively, like seriously good.

I can understand people being worried about the age and year off but I sorta felt like a lot of people didn’t really know much about his last 3 seasons considering some of the comments/opinions on him in the off-season. He’s a genuine gun full back

Don't bother watching Access All Areas. Carlton, Carlton, Carlton. Idk what I even expected. Not even one single compliment about us or a player.
Will be the same as 'on the couch' too. 360 isn't usually that bad and Gerrard and Robbo like us.

Anything Buckley related tends to be good. His segment on SEN with Kane Corners every Monday is one of the better ones out there.
 
I'm not sure exactly what rankings David King was referring to this morning, but he said that Libba is 1, Bont 2 and English 5.

Did anyone else hear the segment and can shed anymore light

Player rankings over past 4 weeks.

It will be a total injustice if libba retires without an AA.

Wish I saw this before I bothered watching.

Thought Arty might have got a mention.

Pathetic.

WESTERN BULLDOGS​

The only trade involving a top-10 pick in the past decade won the Dogs a flag.

They gave up the departing Ryan Griffen and pick 6 for Tom Boyd, and his grand final performance was one for the ages.

He played just 52 games for the Dogs and then selflessly gave up a huge contract when he retired.

The Adam Treloar trade didn’t involve a top-10 pick but the Dogs gave up pick 14 and a future pick which became 35, and got Treloar, 26, 33 and 42 back.

More Coverage​

Given the Pies are paying a chunk of his salary it’s a superb deal.

RATING: Made the best of their captain’s departure and squeezed the Pies to get the best deal on Treloar, so could scarcely have done better.

Nice reminder that for Treloar we gave up 1683 points in draft value, in return for the player and 1687 points.

Collingwood not only handed him over and agreed to pay a third of his salary, but gave us 4 extra draft points for the privilege.
 
CARLTON hit the lead with six minutes remaining against the Western Bulldogs and with the home crowd behind the team, looked set for a remarkable comeback victory.

But no one told livewire Bulldogs forward Arthur Jones.

The 19-year-old kicked a stunning snap goal while running towards the boundary, away from the sticks, and the Dogs were never headed.

But he wasn't done yet.
Ninety seconds later, it was Jones' sharp handball that found Bailey Smith for another goal, before winning a crucial contest in the middle with a tight spin out of trouble that ended in a Jamarra Ugle-Hagan major.

The Dogs were home, with Jones' seven last-quarter disposals (to take his tally to a career-high 14) key to the win.
"Going into the last quarter, I was pretty nervous, but I was pretty excited, to be honest. I knew we were up for a fight, and I knew the team and the support I had behind me, we were down to fight," Jones told AFL.com.au after the game.

"[My goal was] just excitement, to be honest. As soon as it left my boot, I knew it was going in, and I yelled as loud as I could, but obviously the crowd yelled louder.

"Bevo's (coach Luke Beveridge) message at three-quarter time was just throw the first punch, stay strong, stay together and fight hard. We stuck to the basics, and it's what got the job done."
Jones was selected with pick No.43 in the 2021 AFL Draft, making his debut in round three this year after a minor, late-preseason groin injury meant he was unavailable for the club's season-opener.

He kicked three behinds (with a few additional missed shots) before his first goal, which came late in his fifth game, against Hawthorn.
Jones now has four goals to his name from seven matches, and you couldn't wipe the wide grin from his face after the win over the Blues if you tried.

"It's definitely a footy curse, takes a while, but once you get that first one out of the way, the doors to goal start to open up a bit," he said.

"It is a dream come true. Watching on TV as a child, you hear the crowd, and then actually playing, it's so much better. It's so special as well.

"It's just fun, so fun. I'm just laughing, it's a dream come true to put on a guernsey every day. It's exciting, I'm living a dream and loving the moment."

The forward pressure from the likes of Jones, Cody Weightman and the taller Ugle-Hagan was obvious throughout the game, pushing outside 50 to try and halt the drive from Sam Docherty and Adam Saad.
"They were getting most of their goals from their mids and half-backs, so it was onto us as small forwards, to really get up, push up and press up," Jones said.

"I did 'fan-boy' when I was matched up with Paddy Cripps, and then Docherty, it was like wow, a pinch-yourself moment. I enjoyed it, but I knew they were the opposition, too."

Ugle-Hagan and Weightman have been key allies for Jones over the past two years.

"'Marra' is a big boy, he brings it to ground for us. Cody plays the same role as me, so me and him work hand-in-hand," he said.

"We also live together, so our connection and our team chemistry off-field makes it so much better on-field. He's exactly like me, he's bubbly and you have no idea what's going to happen next."

Jones was on 3AW Sunday lunchtime noting Rohan Smith has been a big influence.

I feel like he is always positioned no further than 40m from goal which means he isn't being pressured closer to goal to make precise, difficult kicks, minimising one of his biggest weaknesses.

So great for us that the last qtr run was based around Arty, Baz, Marra & Cody (and Libba) - there is a bit of a changing of the guard in the team right now, in the past if it wasn’t Bont to step up and win us a game there wasn’t really anyone else doing it. Naughty over the past few weeks has had big moments in important stages of the game too.

There’s a bit of a game breaking edge in the new crop that we haven’t really had much of recently

Nice backhander at the line coach who would have the most to do with his development.

Poor Matt can't get no love.
 


Ah, ok. My mistake.

My Radiola transistor radio refuses to go anywhere near 693 on the dial.

The valves are probably shot. Hook it up. Hit the side of the cabinet and it should be fine.

Im a TV/Radio repair man.

Thats why I can waste so much time on Bigfooty.

Ok thanks for the expert advice, I thought it might have been the wire coat hanger causing the problem.
