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.

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..

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
