Agree...Jones back would really help us and free up a few players for other roles. Did I reads he won the most one on ones for a backman last season?
He and Weitering were 1 and 2 about 3/4's of the way through the year, so probably.

Fans often talk with emotion while the coaches see things differently as they don't have that emotion attached. A side loses and everyone is no good according to the fan....lol.

On the other hand we do see coaches locked into certain players too when they are struggling and don't have that real ability when it is obvious to one and all the player should not be playing.

Coaches probably look at system issues rather than individual performances and ability.

Owies is an example of a player who works his dot off to do team things and plays system instead of his talent and generally does ok.

Would we want him better?  Absolutely but we can only play him on his merits, and I think he's complimentary to the forward line whilst really gets up and down the field.

I think position and tasks has a fair bit to do with it too.
The supporters tend to think in terms of a good performance being-

Mids-possessions gained
Forwards-goals kicked
Defenders-goals conceded.

Especially for television watchers, we don't always get a 'total' picture of the player doing his assigned task.
We don't always know what that is.
It's not always that obvious.

People fixate on his negatives and overlook the positives.
I think coaches do that more than fans!
