#23 Harrison Jones

Looks like he’d be strong in the contest… Is he over 180cm? Can he kick or follow a game plan?

Jnr, they called the dog Indiana

H’m I can tell that is really working for us and that’s why we’ve kept doing it.

Fletch debuted at 75kg odd, and bulked out to over 100kg around 2000.

Most of his career in the low to mid 90s IIRC.

If he’s healthy play him. Nothing to lose, he had a great hitout in the preseason game. We recruited him to replace Daniher clearly so play the kid.

I know he’s a twig but we can’t wait forever for a new forward.

It’s been 20 years FFS.

No. I want to maintain our scratch match 100% winning record.

This is an interesting comment from the scratch match report. Experience like that could edge him closer to a game in the seniors.

“It was great to watch ‘Jonesy’ play this week. He got extra minutes and played on Jackson Trengove from the Bulldogs, who’s a strong key back. Jonesy learned a lot playing on him. He worked out early that he didn’t need to wrestle him and had to find different ways to get the ball, so he had to lead hard, be smart and earn every touch he got. It was a good effort from him playing against a very good player at this level.”

Jonesy

Says to me he got toweled up strength wise and had to chase kicks in other ways.

Club is nothing if not creative & original. :laughing:

You’d think the coaches would have told him that was gonna happen before the game, but I guess Essendon players have to do their own learnings

Will be a star this kid

No pressure. It’s not like we need him given we have so many talented key forwards on our list!

Says to me the kid tried one approach, that didn’t work, so quickly changed to a different and more successful tactic. And that is what I would consider a very good thought process from a young player. Smarter than the average bear.

Ha, that link likely explains why no video has been released by us. I think we played in Fark Carlton jumpers…

It’s their orange training jumpers which is better I guess?

Not much of their highlights had our guys, some taps from Bryan and a handball from Hibberd was all I think lol

Jackson Trengove weighs 101kg. Jones weighs 78kg. Of course he got toweled up strength wise, what would you expect to happen?

That’s right up there with wearing a second hand condom!
