Jones has taken some stick here recently, but I thought he had his best game in yonks. Credit where it's due.
Agreed.
He played his role
The mids supported each other and played a better brand of team footy
Look for the first option, don’t try and be star and do it all yourself

Ya wanna know what the 'voting order' should be? Ya note what Luke Hodge said about Jack Steele after the game.
Watching the game, I thought Steeley had set himself the task of besting Cripps where it counted. Golly gee, it worked.
But, I didn't expect to hear one of the greatest of all time, in Hodge, say Steeley is 'the best I've seen at...' being just like me'.
Jack Steele's a giant (not Giant) - he f**ked Carlton by ensuring Cripps didn't spit out the front of centre bounces at will. He reduced Cripps to racking up cheap handballs wide at half back.
One of the finest skipper's games I've seen in ages.
But, to have Hodge say what he said afterwards, is the real cream on the appreciation cake of how good Steele is - no-one like him, and we are privileged to have him as skipper.
We nullified all their cheats like Saad, Docherty and Newman, yep they still got the cheap handballs around the back but there was always one of our forwards right on their arses and they were always under pressure.
