Liam Jones looks like a gun.
For a 21 year old who's only played 33 games he's showing as much as Hawkins or Cloke were at that stage if not more.
He can already take a good contested mark.
Disagree strongly with this. He looks ok but still needs a lot of development imo. Can take a mark but he looks lost at times, Cloke won a b&f at 20 then had a few lean years, but he hasn't shown anywhere near what he did.
Maybe comparable Hawkins, but he had a lot more to contend with at Geelong for a spot in the team, and with their success of their existing lineup it was going to be tough for him to get early games which may have limited what he was showing to us viewers.
The only question for me with the Dogs looking ahead is their key forwards, I know they're still developing but they're still getting decent supply with the Dogs midfield so hopefully they dominate a game soon to show they truly are capable. You can't question their young midfielders, they have settled in without a hitch.
Can't compare it to Melbourne either, the Doggies are having a genuine crack most weeks, and their senior players appear to be more than casually interested.
