Still so young, both these players feel like they have been around for ages.

I remember seeing Nath Jones at a MFC Family Day at Caulfield Racecourse. It was just after he had been drafted; he was a standout in my view, by which I mean he was there with other draftees of that year, and he was the only one of them that wasn't walking around with a stick up his ass! Earned a lot of respect from me that day.

Hope he can take his game to another level this year, as I think he will be a vital part of the development of our midfield.

I agree totally and to think Jones has played 70 games already and Morton 40 games makes them like veterans or at least senior players at the club already with 30 odd players that have played less games than Morton..

It feels like he's been around forever. It's easy to forget that he's just a kid when he's been required to play Atlas and (help) hold up a woeful midfield, and get a disproportionately large amount of scrutiny as a result. He's one player who deserves some load taken off his shoulders with the new batch of mids coming in.

Agree, although for our midfield to be prominent and compliment the new recruits we definitely need Jones, Sylvia and Moloney to lead the way again this coming season.

probably takes the most physical punishment of anyone in the side, and does the most critical job in winning the pill out of the packs ... still a couple of years from his peak football, will be one of our most important when we make our surge at the cup. So underrated

If he was put on the trade table, 16 clubs would select him. Says a lot. I remember Malthouse said he was our best extractor a year or two ago.

With McLean gone, he's going to be one of the more visible and noticeable guys going through our guts. I showed some footy to a yank I'm trying to get into the game and he said Jones was the most effective of our midfielders.

A very, VERY important individual to the club for the next 6-7 years.

Cale Morton turned 20 yesterday- Both very young with tremendous up side.

I noticed at training the other week he already has quite a bit of new artwork, all down his forearm. I agree with previous posts that he is a very underrated player in footy circles and I think he will show the footy world just how good he can be.

I agree with you all, both of these players are and will be very important over the years of growth. Jones, hopefully will have pressure taken off him, with the likes of Trengove & Scully,Grysberts & Tapscott whilst we should not forget Maric ,Wonaeamirri and McKenzie's development along with Bartram & Bell as standby's. Hope I have not forgotten any.

I spotted both Nathan Jones & Colin Garland entertaining a group of kids down at Adventure Park Water World in Geelong

on Thursday. Both highly visible in there Demon polo Shirts.

I didn't approach as both where very focused being king of the kids with a group of approx 20 twelve year olds.

Both looked very relaxed & very fit.

Garland was showing zero signs of any complications from his foot injury.

It looked to be some terrific community work in progress from these two young blokes.

Hope they both have ripping seasons in 2010

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
