Re: Rd. 5 - Pre Game Thread - Blues V Dockers
Reply #26 –
I never thought this would happen but Jones has to be a chance to come in for the Dockers game.
Fraser was full of praise:
Stats: 14 disposals, 9 marks (5 contested, 4 inside 50), 3 inside 50s, 5 goals
From the coach: Another strong performance from Liam: he provided a real focal point forward of ball. He continues to provide repeat efforts and is showing good leadership.
And Bolton says he's a chance:
Bolton said the Blues would consider recalling tall forward Liam Jones for the Freo clash. The former Bulldog sits on top of the VFL goalkicking ladder with eight goals after two rounds, including five last weekend against Geelong.
Just going on Fraser's assessments, White would be pressing for selection and, while he's probably due for another run in the NBs, Armfield's "effort and energy . . . ability to apply pressure . . . and his leadership and spirit . . ." wouldn't go astray.
Everitt is apparently over his calf injury and is in selection contention too (I imagine much to the dismay of some supporters).
It will be interesting if Jones does come in. I can't really see any of Casboult, Phillips and Kreuzer going out and Charlie Curnow has done enough to keep his spot. Perhaps he'll be 'rested'.
