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.

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

Very true they were taking the Berry Street kids to the beach.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
