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..

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
