He has been dropped again. He has the ability to kick multiple goals. Had a great year last year. I think we should go for him. I'd be interested in Boyle as well.

    what part of 'we are not looking for anyone over 23' don't you understand? there is NO point in picking up jones. zero.

    Shh. Let him go ahead with his ideas.

    I would seek out 0 players because going for anything U23 would usually ask for something hefty in return, and likely to be picks, which we are not trading away.

    Seek draft picks? Late 1st rounders should be the go.

    correct, the draft is the way to go..another pick in the top 20 would be great except i dont think we have any trade-able players worth that much

    Corey Jones surely won't go. Roos need him because Thompson won't last long and Edwards is inconsistent, and now that Grant has gone- Hale can't be their only avenue to goal.

    Don't rule out getting players in trade week who are over 23 freak.

    jones is worth a top 20 pick and we should seriously consider trading him because Moloney is older, less value, yet valuable to our team as he can roost the ball and win it tight, as well as being a better leader. Jones gets wrapped up too much. Valenti is worth keeping, and we'd neevr trade mclean or mcdonald

    Better watch your Joneses BB. I presume you mean Nathan in the last paragraph.

    FWIW, I wouldn't touch Corey Jones with a barge pole; has had a dog of a year. Over paid, over rated. Sound familiar?

    He was close to All Ausralian last year and can kick a goal unlike anyone else in our forward line. Anyone can have a bad year it doesn't mean they are finished. Players usually don't get traded if they have had a great year.

    No chance!!!

    Nope, don't rate Corey Jones. Sure he's up and about when the team is winning, but is one of the first to drop off when the going gets tough.

    Actually, when i think about it, he'd be a perfect fit with the dees.

    how can you even consider trading for these kinds of players, when we are ONLY going through this part of the season with one thing in mind, THE DRAFT. Look towards the draft and consider who we should pick up and who we could trade off, cause this trading for players business ain't gonna happen.

    I think I rate Corey Jones higher than some who have posted in this thread, but I don't think he's a fit for us.

    Indeed.

    Whilst Jones is a good player. He has struggled this year and does not fit Mfc's youth requirements ....

    I cant see it happening, but good on u for putting an idea out there mate, dont let them shoot u down..

    Boyle is a far more viable option, and is one 2 look at, As ive mentioned a dozen times.. :)

    Corey Jones is the biggest front runner in the league, and he has some of his own team mates chasing him for this title...Daniel Wells and Daniel Harris look great when the roos are up and beating someone but when the pressure is on and the game is there to be won, they are as soft as butter

    Yes. Worth looking at and contemplating....

    Corey Jones is a bit older than I thought he was so he's probably not a great idea for the club, but if someone does pick him up they will have a good player. Even though he hasn't had a great year he has still kicked more goals than any Melbourne player.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
