Clinton Jones is a few cents short of a dollar

[The Redeemer]

The bloke must have learning difficulties or is plain stupid because his decision making and efforts today again were terrible.

1. He takes a mark. He waits 10 seconds, he handballs off to a bloke that is on the boundary and then swiftly points to the new bloke where to kick the ball. This is while a Suns player charges down and our advantage becomes a disadvantage.

2. How many times can a bloke handball but not hit a target. Pressure on or pressure off, he causes our other blokes to quickly dispose of the football when there is no reason for any of them to be in that position.

3. He cannot mark.

4. He cannot tag.

5. He cannot kick.

Piss off and stop wasting my money. In the real world this bloke would have been taken out the back and shot years ago.

Bit harsh.

[Griggsy]

If you take out the backward hand passes, he handed the ball the GC more often then not. 55% DE all up so it makes you wonder.

[Old Mate]

I'd prefer Ross in the team even if it means we lose by 12 goals instead of 10. Focus on the future its not like we are competing for a final 8 possy.

[luc1966]

Lyon?

OK, Seb. Fair point. But it is hard for a coach to come out and say, " Look, we are finished for the year. But what I'll do, is stick with those who Chris Pelchen recruited in the last five years, and see what happens."

"If at the end of the year, we have found that he recruited a lot of duds, then we will take the necessary action."

“ We’ll ever get rid of some players as well.”

[SainterK]

Can you maybe change the title to "I don't agree Jones should be in the team because"

I'm not saying his decision making wasn't ordinary, and disposal lacked composure, but you sound like a bombers fan making it so personal.

Please.

[Con Gorozidis]

No apparently we need him in the side to 'teach' the youngsters how to play.

I can only imagine the insights he is giving them. Gems like "If you get really fit and run around and around in circles getting dinky kicks and handballs you can get your stats up and people might actually be confused and think you can play."

Have been a supporter of CJs in the past, but Im at the point now where I cant defend him any longer. Mav Weller showed tonight why he deserves a crack at the tagger role alternating with TC.

Thanks CJ, but its time to go.

Sadly, I have reached the same point after today's game.

[borderbarry]

He may get a huge number of possessions each game, but is partly because the opposition dont care if he gets the ball, as they know he will give it back to them.

[FQF]

Does well to get the ball in good positions, but it doesn't really matter because he can make a mess of the most straight forward of plays.

If he is no longer in our best 22 by years end, we have made progress.

Bingo.

Watch players sit off him and go to the nearby release players.

[ShanghaiSaint]

harsh but i think his time is up... he couldn't keep up with the game tonight.. last season for him imo.

Someone please press the eject button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is true.
They actually quite like him getting it. So his big stats dont tell you the true story.

[spert]

I would rate Schneider's crappy defensive efforts, and Lenny's poor kicking to position ahead of any Jones disposal issues...

Agree now . Let's move on

[maverick]

His tagging effort on Ablett was laughable, his disposal terrible and he actually gets in the way now.

Yes he runs hard, gives very good effort, but we need to move on from him.
Weller and Curren can take his role now surely...

[Old Mate]

Weller and Curren are GOP's at best. Jones just ahead of them. We are stuffed for mids. Pls help.

[gringo]

He had a pretty bad game but he usually earns his keep with work rate. If Seb got to every contest like CJ he'd never go out of the team. Shenton was so spent at one point he could hardly walk back to get a rub down. Clint is hopefully going to get his touch back soon. It's a bad look insulting one of our players. He has done more for this club than plenty of others that get more love.
