Jones was dropped, and if GC did get in his ear he'd have some thinking to do.

Guaranteed a midfield gig, surf and warm weather.

Makes sense to me.

    I thought he played all 22 games.

    Bruce is going to GC.

    Jones is going to GC.

    Everyone is going to GC! (Oh wait, let's actually wait and see what happens).

    He was dropped. He replaced Moloney late I think.

    He did play all games. But he was still dropped.

    Never said he was going, what Damien Barratt said makes sense though. Even more so when Jonsey played all 22 games games and couldn't get within a sniff of the b&f top 10.

    Yet other mids like Moloney, Sylvia and Junior all got in and they all missed chunks of the season.

    Insight into how the coaches rate him perhaps?

    I'd be looking to trade him.

    Wouldn't be unhappy if he stayed I will add.

    He wouldn't know, because the count is done on the night- no one knows- only Bailey, Wellman, Mahoney, West and Williams would have an idea because they vote

    Mate you were right but so was he!

    Now my job is to try and find out how he knew!!

    Heard a whisper last night that Nate Jones is not Happy & is seeking Talks with DB on his Future-Hope he stays, i consider Jonesy very much Required. He is only 22, seems like he has been around a lot longer.

    No, the Jocks on SEN were talking about it this morning around 1.30-2.00AM. Thats all i know, wanting to pass it on. I wasn't happy to hear it..

    And I wonder where they heard it...

    I wish to coin a new term - 'Flag cores.'

    I think required player can be interpreted a manner of different ways.

    Whereas 'Flag Core players' are those that are vital to the MFC winning a flag in the near future. Those that form the Core of a Flag winning team.

    Those players are:

    Scully, Trengove, Watts, Jurrah, McKenzie, Sylvia, Grimes, Morton, Frawley, Garland, Bennell, and Petterd. I see only Jamar and Davey playing an important role out of the older players, but others will/could play periphery roles.

    As for how that comes into play here; keep your hands off the above players!

    Maybe I haven't watched the "Footy Show" in years so i wouldn't know, i am merely passing a rumour onto the Rumour thread.

    I want Jonesy to be playing for us in 2011!! B)

    We get that. You can stop saying it now.

    You obviously don't care if he does or doesn't....

    Damien Barrett on the footy show said that Jones 'isn't sure about his place at Melbourne' or something along those lines and wants a real good talk with Bailey before staying. Barrett is normally pretty good but surely that cant be right? Jones loves the club... but then again, Brock did too and look what happened there...

    Maybe I haven't watched the "Footy Show" in years so i wouldn't know, i am merely passing a rumour onto the Rumour thread.

    Oh, OK then.

    Oh, OK then.

    Yes thats pretty much what came over the air waves, without the mention of Damien Barrett. I hope DB can sort him out quickly. We need that Hard Bodied Blue Collar worker to help our young boys.

    We lost last weeks game i believe because Jonesy went off.

    I think 45 juxtaposed your post with a previous one detailing said rumour, to point out the fact that if you were 'passing on (said) rumour to demonland,' it was a tad redundant...

    Only if you had watched the "Footy Show" was it redundant. For those of us who do not watch that Garbage it was actually first hand.

    How can you include Morton and Bennell as 'Flag Core Players' when they haven't nailed down a position yet? Most supporters and probably the players themselves are confused as to what role they play from one week to the next. Morton has shown glimpses of talent playing in defense, attack and in the middle but if he continues this years form he will not be on the list in 2013. Bennell has played all year in a forward pocket but has plenty of competition there and may be asked to play a rebounding defenders role in the future. Still plenty of people not sold on either of these guys... myself included.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
