ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict
— HOLD

Jones scored 42 in Western Bulldogs' 12-point away loss to Carlton at Docklands — a genuine contest, not a blowout, and he contributed 42 against a 33 BE. That's below his 62 average but the cash gen at $4,224/wk keeps the thesis alive. The praise for his pressure and energy from R9 shows up in the selection — he's locked in the WB forward line. Hold — the 42 is a down week, not a role change.
