    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: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
