    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
