Re: Rd 23: Post Game Party: Carlton vs Sydney

Buddy was quicker and stronger....Jones is a big unit but Buddy is a beast and while not strong in the air he always seemed to have the drop on Jones who played from the front too often....
Jones needed help and another big player to help block Buddy....Plugger kicked ten on SOS...so to me its all part of Jones learning experience and a champ like Buddy is going to have those days and Jones did his best...Buddy would have kicked 15 on anyone else...
Jones is effectively a first year player as a defender and it's no surprise that Buddy was able to work him over. It would have been a different story if Rowe and/or ACOS was with Jones in the back six.
As you say EB, it's part of his learning experience and I doubt whether Buddy will kick ten next time they meet.
