Joey worked his way into the game and CJ and Gilbo found lots of the footy. Sadly tho we have to make a decision on CJ...as he finds it then butchers it over and over.
so a typical game from CJ then.
Seriously, how people can think having him in our team is somehow a positive move astounds.
Saints kicked 2 goals in a minute, short pass to CJ about 35m in front, 45 degree angle, Saints have the momentum... out on the full. I was embarrassing.
People just don't seem to realise that the reason CJ often gets on the end of passes and loose balls is that his opponents let him... they know he cant hurt u so they dro the extra man into defence.
Ever wonder when Roo is triple teamed where the extra Saints are... one is Jones
My point on Jones is that you can't judge him on one part of his game - he does other things, (yes he plays his role) like getting clearances tagging, and running with the ball, like Peake. I heard he tagged Pendlebury reasonably effectively until the last quarter. He also has good endurance, like Montagna he can go for 4 quarters. Not that stats are everything, but he had about 27 poss + 8 marksskeptic wrote:MCG-Unit wrote:Do Jones opponents also allow him to constantly have all those clearances and hard-ball gets ?skeptic wrote:

I just don't see what ur point is.
Are you denying that CJ hurts US with his disposal?
How would you describe his impact on the game yesterday if you saw it? Positive or negative?
Who did he tag into submission?
Man I hope this forum is reflective of our club... near enough is good enough mentality
How rose coloured is this forum!!!
He was horrible yesterday.
in addition to not producing much at all and probably failing in a tagging role (not sure about that admittedly as Coll dominated the mids)... he killed our only rally for the match by kicking a simple shot out on the full.
Geeez this is frustrating me... what is this good that u ppl think that you're seeing?
He's a terrific Ross Lyon player, in that, emphasis on hard work and defence, and less on actual footballing ability..dcstkfc wrote:What has happened to Seany D this pre-season?
This bloke is truly underrated. Along with Goddard and Fisher offers creatively in our backline. Defensively he's the best of the three. I think our defence will be a lot better upon his return.Sobraz wrote:

I think they mean that Dempster must have his spot in question, not Gwilt. Gwilt has become an a grade defender pre knee.

Forwards let Gilbert get possessions in their attacking 50.![]()
Not quite sure whether any team lets players have easy possessions - even if it's a clanger, it's still being pumped forward or out of the defence - maybe some players are tagged less than others.

jimmy is a gun player but will struggle on the 195cm guys. jimmy can play on guys up to 191 cm no problems. taller than that he battles.BigMart wrote:That being said about gwilt......remember he is 188cm......can we expect him to handle 195cm power Fwds
