Clint Jones on the weekend
I hadn't seen this brought up in the forum so i thought I'd raise it for discussion. I thought his impact was fairly decent. Looking over the stats today he had 20 possies, 7 tackles, 2 assists and a goal. Apparently his efficiency was 75%, however when i watched the game i didn't seem to notice any glaring errors at all. I really liked his run and carry as well.
It may be because Melbourne weren't really in a position to apply pressure, but I'm hoping that this could really be a breakout game for Clint and that it will reassure him that he belongs at the top level.

IMO his game on the weekend was actually very good, even for AFL standard, and I have been a CJ critic for a while now, if he could play like that week in week out I would be over the moon, but we have to remember that it was against Melbourne...

He is not in every weekend, so how can he play like that every weekend? Give the guy some game time to find his feet and confidence. He has something I know it I can see it.Armoooo wrote:IMO his game on the weekend was actually very good, even for AFL standard, and I have been a CJ critic for a while now, if he could play like that week in week out I would be over the moon, but we have to remember that it was against Melbourne...

he is certainly worth persisiting with. just get a biomechanist to help him with his kicking. seriously, if the new board want to spend more on the footy department, here is a chance. get some professionals in and look at this kids kicking action.
i mean he is certainly better thatn blake, fizzer, raph, mcqualtar. and we have been perisiting with fizzer for 100 games FFS.
CJ is the LEAST of our worries. just teach the kid how to kick. if that means working on it 2 hours per day so be it.

I think that they may already have been working on this as he has improved quite markedly from when he arrived.congorozides wrote:he is certainly worth persisiting with. just get a biomechanist to help him with his kicking. seriously, if the new board want to spend more on the footy department, here is a chance. get some professionals in and look at this kids kicking action.

I think he has good from awful to below average.
Most of his kicks were actually ok...and I note that this last game that his overall disposal effectiveness was 75% which is afiar bit up on the 50 odd % that he used to rack up.
About the one poorish kick I remember was when he attempted to pass aross to the running in space sam Fisher and it fell short for an esay interception bya Dees player.

I agree totally. I must admit to being very critical of CJ last year (mostly his disposal) but he just throws himself in to the contest with Hamill like intensity and as far as im concerned we have missed that this year.Mooksy wrote:HE SHOULD NEVER BE OUT OF THE TEAM FULL BLOODY STOP NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT!!!!
I would love to see him become a regular in the side.

Great game on Sunday. I saw one or two small skill errors, but I also saw some great passes to Roo on the lead which hit him right on the chest. He seems to be improving in the skill area for sure. Hopefully the game lifted his confidence.
