C.Jones - 3 games (Rounds) 3, 6, 7
All wins, never been involved in a Saints loss - get this guy back in ASAP!
Is this just luck or something more??

The Brad Campbell of the 21st century.

Unfortunately he'll soon be back on the rookie list so will not be able to play in the second half of the season.

IT's a really pity that.
he will be a good player for us.

More then luck......has been a vital player and sorely missed even if he has only played 3 games.

His forward line pressure is phenomenal.

Has shown enough to be promoted at years end

We could have found 2 rookies in the one year with Attard as well

Our best effort yet. Attard will never be a ball winner, but at least he cuts out his opposition from getting the ball

Jones will be around next year, i cant say that about some other rookies. I think Phil Raymond she be demoted

Obviously will be put on the senior list next year, should be a solid player for us

I think he is ready now to be on the senior list and should be if they are fairdinkum down there.

Mmmm...how times have changed!

He was pretty good in his first 3 games - but didn't look the part when he got back in the side following his injury! Surely make or break year for him, although Lyon seems to be a massive fan...

saintdooley · Sat 27 Oct 2007 11:29pm

he is my fav player
by sis has a jumper with his number printed on the back.
the dooley family jumped on the CJ band wagon ages ago, and we are not getting off!

his senior form was terrible, he never hit a target, (50% clanger rate or something) and what 10 disposals a game?

certainly goes ok in the magoos but if he's going to be a senior player needs to dramatically improve his disposal and get far more of the football than he does.

Agree whole-heartedly...although in the role he plays, i guess 12-15 effective disposals a game would be all that is required of him. He will also find it quite hard to get in the side if X Clarke is fit and firing, particularly as we have recruited Schneider to complement Milney up forward.

"effective" being a keyword

imo very lucky to get game time, even luckier to survive, will be interesting to see if he can bring his magoos form to the seniors.

I love it how some saints fans can praise some players performances no matter how bad they are...

there are some unrealistic expectations in CJ.

on the flip side we probably had every right to have higher expections given his junior form of mcqualter and armitage.

He's just not up to it and I expect he'll be delisted next year.

Never seen a bloke look so lost on a football field.

Good god, I hope I'm wrong. But when you can't kick, you're not as quick as some seem to think, have trouble finding the footy and running to the right positions...it's a tough ask.

Maybe a massive pre-season and working with Harves will help him, but I doubt it.

Oh When the Saints · Sun 28 Oct 2007 12:30pm

Better than Phil Raymond, Allan Murray, Nick Stone and a host of others who have occupied the 38th spot on our list for the past decade.

harsh...maybe.

disposal was terrible...pressure was decent.

Agree 100% that he needs to improve a LOT or he will be gorn.

In 2006, Jones was in the best dozen midfielders in the country not on an AFL list.

On the minimum wage for the next 12 months, he is worth the risk.

Certainly, if purely based on his first 3 matches, I don't think you'd find too many arguing against his spot on the list.

agree

I thought Allan Murray was pretty harshly treated after his debut .. didn't get much game time and got even less opportunities. I always thought he was a good foil for G & Roo and boy could he tackle.
