They might at the moment, sure.
But he’s got to have a run at it. Not out on a flank running decoys forever and a day.
Lets face it, 2MP is not giving us much but the odd chest mark, pinch hit in the ruck and sometimes a slap down to the crumbers. Can’t seem to clunk anything above his head right now.
Draper in for 2MP and clear out that forward line to let Harry have a go at it. WC at home should be an opportunity to re-adjust our fwd line.
I think he’s improved this year but it was a low base. he’s shown a few more glimpses, and i agree that I’d drop 2MP who is in deplorable form for draper.
But he’s very unconvincing. Im not even sure if he will be on the list in 2 years, let alone near those guys you mentioned
I dont understand why Jones and to a lesser extent 2mp can take massive grabs in every part of the ground except in our 50 lol.
Was very very good today.
His goal at the end was a nice reward for him.
After showing a bit, has gone back to near on useless for well over a month.
You can handle ups and down’s with young key forwards but he ain’t that young anymore, and he plays poorly more often than not
Needs to go back to the VFL and find form
I didn’t see the game
So the last 2 posts have me slightly confused…
I liked Jones and Cox sharing a wing. That additional marking outlet was useful for us.
Pretty meh.
He was good. Spent time playing wing.
He, Cox and Duursma as wings gives us much more aerial presence.
Not sure if you can roll with it at the G but definitely works at Marvel.
I agree…he played quite well I thought…used his mobility well.
Except he didn’t kick a goal
Not sure what game you were watching today if you thought Jones was useless.
Didn’t play forward at all today. Liked his game as a tall winger.
What goal?
I watched the game today just to clarify
His best asset is his ability to run his opponent up the ground and back. Constantly.
That can open up space for the others in the forward line.
It can also allow him to be an outlet from our defensive 50.
I’d say, he doesn’t get enough of the footy to do both of those though.
I wouldn’t be dropping him, but he needs to find a way to get more involved in the game whilst doing all that running.
Maybe it’s more of a week to week matchup thing with him that he has to work through.
wob is wrong, horribly wrong.
Didn’t do much up forward, but took quite a few marks on the wing and between the halves.
Thanks old man
Looked OK as wingman at times. Maybe that’s his go now?
Yeah definitely wasnt useless,
Was quite good as a marking outlet up the ground.
He is a forward though so he really does need to be kicking goals.
Even 1 or 2 today would have been the cherry on top of a good outing.
Not if you have Wright, Lanford, Caddy rotating deep. He was good today playing up the ground.
