Cmon! You can eck this Liam, get another contract from Carlton!

Maybe he is finally maturing. But as usual with Liam, it's a big jump from VFL to AFL. Would like to see how he goes with a few AFL games in defence. It's all mental hurdles with him
Normally its during pre-season that these sort of articles come up about Jones year after year. I wouldn't be putting too much weight into his game on Josh Bruce. He only had 1 kick against Footscray on the weekend. Horribly out of form.
Sydney have played 36 games going back to last year. Michael Talia has played 1 game of the 36. I wonder if he can eck out a year anywhere. I hope not.
To put it in perspective, Talia has played as many AFL games for Sydney as he's had drug arrests since being recruited by Sydney. He's had as many court appearances on drugs charges, as he's played AFL games since being recruited by Sydney. Or, assuming he's on about minimum wage, he's banked over $300,000 in wages over 18 months for AFL: 10 disposals, 3 marks & 1 tackle > $30,000 per disposal, or, $100,000 per mark, or, $300,000 per tackle.
Shit bloke getting just rewards, with a career ending shortly.

I would actually be thrilled if he could reinvent himself as a backman. He could always take a mark.

As would I.
We will always be left to wonder whether Bevo might have been able to work some magic had he stayed.
He will always be Footscray premiership hero Liam Jones to me.
Liam was the centrepiece of one of my favorite days at the footy ever and I will love him forever for it.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
