Makes sense as he is the closest player in style to Vlaustin in this draft. Dimma may have just ordered another Flossy from the menu and that is Jones.
Personally I would take Salem, Lennon or Hartung before him but thats just my opinion. On the other hand I would have Jones before all of Freeman, Acres, Crouch and Taylor who are others in the 10-20 bracket so he is around that mark

*dont know which thread to put this in*
Jones seems like a very solid citizen, if slightly undynamic. But is he too similar to the last few solid citizens we have drafted? How many earnest, one paced, sauce heads are we planning to play across our half back line?

learnt my lesson on judging earnest, one paced sauce heads harshly, after Vlastuin. I'd take a half dozen. My preference is still Lennon, but after ZJ's tac coach described him as "a maniac ..... genuinely a bit nuts", I'll be rapt with him too. I noticed he has a head like bungaree spud, but couldnt discern the ranga-ness or otherwise, from the profiles. If so, all the better.
Agree Leysy, just checked out his vids, seems to have plenty of pace when he needs it. Also seems composed, tough and uses it well. Albeit I have only seen him in his clips, but one thing I noticed is sometimes he goes out of his way to get back onto his preferred foot, and didn't seem to have a left at all. Is he duel sided? Maybe peeps who have seen more can elaborate please.

Interesting point. I reckon duel-sidedness is a prerequisite for first rounders, if not all picks these days. If youre not duel sided, you need to have bucket loads of some other attribute to compensate. Perhaps like being built like a brick *smile* house and having a bad case of white-line fever. There is a difference between being one-sided and making the time to be able to get on your preferred side though. I dunno which ZJ is?? someone? Hows Lennon and Salem on their np?

Salem is a cut above those guys, Lennon is ok but don't expect 65metre hoofs on his non preferred and Jones is fairly reliant on his right boot which may catch him out to a degree.
