None of them are world beaters, but they can all kick a goal in the right situations. 

I could probably kick a goal in the right situation as well.

Thats what im hoping for.

We wont win by dominating the key forward posts, it will happen by using the ball well which will set up scoring situations.

Lol @ Jones kicking a goal.

Believe it or not, he has averaged one per game in his afl career and is on 7 in 9 matches with us in what was a wooden spoon year.

Murphy

Gibbs

Kerridge

From an outsider looking in, it seems Jones's issues are between the ears (ie confidence). Some blokes who are normally mild mannered cross that white line and go feral turning into Superman. Liam Jones seems to cross the white line and go from Clark Kent to Bashful (from Snow White and Seven Dwarfs).

Which goes to show that you can make a case for just about anything!

I like the idea of Jones playing, surely he can compete for us and perhaps slot a goal or two. But we know in reality he ends up having little impact in any facet of the game, he looks like a goose and we all get depressed watching him play... It's just not worth it.

That and he is terrible at Football.

The bloke has kicked a bag of 4 (and took some great contested marks) against (i think) the Pies a few seasons back.....so he can do it - just need to locate and lower the right levers!

Sorry mate, his issues are that he can't play.

Yeah there is that too. However you can be terrible at footy but can show some effort and desire, he shows zilch which is what I meant.

Ah yes I see what you mean, yes he can't play but his confidence is shot as well.

Worst forward line in living memory......
We have a forward line??? Really where did we find it?

I thought that Jones showed plenty of effort and desire against the Bombers in the NAB Challenge.  He just couldn't get near the footy.   ???

Yes, unfortunately, that is one of his problems. We've been hearing for a while now about the effort, the desire, the cracking pre seasons, the "training the house down"......................It doesn't seem to translate into much on the field.
