LIAM Jones believes he and fellow Carlton talls Lachie Henderson and Levi Casboult can form a potent three-pronged forward line, with a new marking technique key to his season.

Jones joined the Blues in last year's trade period after playing 66 games and kicking 68 goals in five seasons with the Western Bulldogs.

The 197cm forward was the Bulldogs' primary target for much of his time at the Whitten Oval, and the Dogs' dearth of tall timber meant he often lacked meaningful support.

Despite Jarrad Waite's departure to North Melbourne at the end of last season, Carlton looks to have good key-forward depth ahead of the 2015 season.

Jones, Henderson (196cm), Casboult (198cm) and Matthew Watson (195cm) have all trained with the Blues' forward group this pre-season, while utility Kristian Jaksch (195cm) and ruckman Matthew Kreuzer (200cm) are also likely to spend time in attack this season.

Jones said on Thursday he was excited at the prospect of playing alongside Henderson and Casboult.

"We'll find out more (about Carlton's likely forward structure) in the NAB (Challenge) and obviously as we get closer to round one, but it would be good to work with a couple of other tall forwards," Jones said.

"Those guys are obviously really quality players, so you think they would be in there.

"We all bring different qualities to the table, so I think we can all really complement each other well."

Jones spoke to reporters at the Mansfield Football and Netball Club after taking part in a 90-minute training session.

The Blues' session included about 30 minutes of match practice, during which Jones worked well alongside Casboult in the 'blue' team's forward 50, taking several strong marks.

Jones said Blues coach Mick Malthouse had been working closely with him on marking technique this pre-season.

"He just feels as though I can be in the contest and hopefully mark more balls if I can change my approach to jumping at the ball," Jones said.

"So far it's taken a little bit to break bad habits, but it's helped out a lot and I'm getting my head around it now.

"(I'm trying to jump) a bit more up and less forward, trying to keep my feet after the contest, rather than going to ground."

Jones, who turns 24 next month, has really enjoyed his first pre-season at Carlton. And after spending most of the second half of last season in the VFL, he is hoping he can make a fresh start at Visy Park.

"Just seeing all these guys like Chris Judd, Dale Thomas, Marc Murphy and Bryce Gibbs train, you get to see new faces, new coaches and new ways of doing things, it's been really refreshing," Jones says.

Carlton coaching director Rob Wiley says Jones has the potential to become a key part of the Blues' forward line.

"He needs now to put it (together) consistently, week in and week out," Wiley says.

"We believe if we get that right dynamic and structure up forward then we can pose a lot of problems for opposition sides."
