i mean yeah sure a few are a worry and they dont get to where they are going properly
but most times he actually does hit the target, even with that strange left foot kicking style

He plays within his limitations. You rarely see him hit up a target on the lead. If he kicks it it's usually high and at least in the general direction of a team mate.

just imagine how good he would be if he disposal was something like BJ's

think he'd be around 60% at hitting a lead on the target (imo)
Really? If he has a player that's free he'll get it to him but on the lead? There's a reason why he isn't given the ball just outside 50 to set up a lead....
Why underrated? He has been the No. 1 Stopper for a couple of years now.
The game is calling for these type of players to be more attacking, which Jonesey was against the Dockers - a close to best on ground performance.
Has lifted his game lately and has definitely improved his kicking a lot in recent times (a lot more improvement to go). He used to be "petrified" to kick, but is now showing more confidence to run and kick, which is adding to his and the team's performance.

Agree. It actually looks worse than it is. Also, he's not a bad kick for goal. Not a long kick, but reasonably accurate. Riewoldt could learn a thing or two from him.

I'm glad Freo weren't...Collingwood certainly are. Who looks stupid now?
Im sure they are terrified.
I think they know what they're doing when the send guys out to rough him up. I'm gobsmacked the number of supporters on here that have NFI...embarrassing.

LEON takes his regular spot but Tendai, Jarryn, Clint and Dayne are all welcome new faces to this week's Team of the Round.
Tendai is Mzungo, the dashing Docker who went up again Nick Dal Santo last Friday night.
Jarryn stands for Geary, St Kilda’s super sub who helped change the game in the final quarter.
Clint is Jones, St Kilda’s premier run-with player who is back to peak form after a slow start.
He may have beeen especially good this week but apart from a small patch when the whole team was bad he hasn't had too many bad games for us. He isn't a silky mover like dal but he can get the job done most weeks.

I'm with bigcarl and matrix on this, his kicking style gives people the impression his kicking is awful. Sure he turns it over from time to time but to say he can't hit up someone on a lead is wrong. His disposal efficiency is nothing to write home about but that's generally the case when a mid is extracting the ball from tight places. What's Lenny's efficiency?

Let's hope he gets the job done this week - Didak, Swann, Thomas or Pendlebury ??
Pendlebury.

I want to see Fisher on Pendlebury
Now, how interesting would that be!
Not a bad thought SainterK. I think that we have to bring something different to the table this week to shut down their prime movers. If so, Blake on Cloke?
