    yeah was a nice article Queen.

    I didnt understand how a lot of ppl around here murded Jones for not having his best year and showing some weaknesses.

    It is common knowledge these sort of things happen in the second and third years of a player when he faces a tag etc.

    He is gonna be a gun for us and is as tough as they come.

    20 years old and feels like he has been here for a decade haha

    Needs the protection of McLean so he doesn't get the No 1 tag.

    I'd be keen to experiment him in a forward pocket in the pre-season, just to add another string to his bow. He knows where the goals are!

    Mousey, I think you may be overrating him a little. At the moment I view him as just an ordinary player, who's tough at the pill, good at the clearances but has average to below average skills.

    Hope you're right though.

    I agree. And the B&F result was to me an accurate assessment as to where he was at this season.

    While i wouldn't use the G word, Nathan Jones will be a very good player for us.

    I see Simon Black as one of the better slower type extracting mids in the comp but he too can come up with some clangers.

    Jones has a lower clanger rate and has better disposal efficiency.

    n.b I'm not saying Jones is better or will definitely be better then Black, just don't be so down on the kid. He's an up and comer who needs to work on a few things but overall I'm happy with Jones.

    If I was Jones I wouldnt take any notice of the B and F results.

    It was an absolute farce.

    I agree that some of the B&F results were farcical, but Jones didnt have a great year and wasnt much better than 18th

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
