is that the same Darcy Moore who turned it over in the corridor 20 metres from goal yesterday? Resulting in a Freo goal?
The same Darcy Moore who was moved to hide in the forward line last week whilst Josh Kennedy was destroying them?
We had a bad game. It happens. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water over one loss.
We are talking about Jones here. He's had more than one bad game.
He has lost the plot. He's lacking common sense on the last line of defense this last month.
Gosh his first quarter of 2020 was a disaster.
Problem is, we have no back up Full Back to replace him. That doesn't imply he's having a good year. Maybe Goddard's form makes him a better option, but he didnt play any scratch match on the weekend.
In a nutshell, Jones has been terrible this year. I hope he picks up his game, and sticks to the basics that made him successful: stick to your man and punch the ball away towards the boundary.
On that Jones-Moore comparison, I'm not sure if there's anyone who would select/take Jones before Moore for the backline, or the forwardline, come to think of it.
We can only dream of having a midfield that bats as deep as Collingwood's, allowing defenders more defensive cover, retention of structure and more time to set up
Jones has NOT lost the plot. Period. Is he a little out form? YES. So are probably 100 other AFL players each week
