Nathan Jones manager was on SEN this morning and stated that Nathan was close to agreeing to a new deal with the Dees. He also manages James McDonald and they were keen to talk about him going to the Blues.

I choose to believe this line of thinking.

Yes, I heard that.

The biggest concern I have with what I heard yesterday is "Chinese whispers". Which is why I was somewhat reluctant to post what I did.

It only takes Jones to tell an old school mate "I've been approached by the Gold Coast", for someone third hand to tell me categorically "Jones is going to the Gold Coast".

I'd back his manager's version.

Not that I overly care if he stayed or went.

I wonder if this is code from Carlton that the Warnock negotiations have broke down and they are prepared to move in on one of our "off-field options". Almost like we will back of McDonald if you guys get a "bit more realistic" elsewhere.

"Petroro said McDonald had originally been considering off-field options."

I can't see the link.

Greg denham mentioned on SEN this morning that Mitch Clark had requested at trade to Fremantle.

Would love him at Melbourne but wants to go home.

Sounds like an over supply of big men on the market this year. Maybe the market laws of demand & supply might hold true for AFL trading as well.

Mitch Clark to freo in exchange for Zac Clarke & their 1st round pick maybe?

Maybe Melbourne can have a word in his ear and convince him to give Melbourne a go.

Pick 12 & Jones thanks!

I would back Nudge as to what he hears, my mail on him is that he is in a player agent/management role, plus anyway, ex Lyndale people don't lie!

That's assuming my mail on him is correct...

It's just that every year at this time of year he appears and regurgitates every rumour that's already out there.

I haven't seen him have the inside scoop on anything yet.

He may hear them through his job & they may be "legitimate rumours", but I wouldn't trust his sources.

It seems like they just read BF then pass on the info.

I heard that interview and it is funny that what Petoro said about Junior was categorically denied by Swann. Does this give more weight to the Jones 'whisper'? He did seem pretty chuffed with the Ablett press conference on twitter.

More weight? Likely me reading more into that. I agree with you on Jones here and previously.

I think as a FD they may talk more about Warnock this period rather than Jones. I think Jones will bring to the table the same efforts in 2011 as 2010 which won't hurt his currency too much, 12 mths down the track.

Age wise he will be fine. So we probably have an 24mth window to act on this move.

His post was pretty clear on all fronts, and unless you have some solid information that would question his sources, why bother?

Curmudgeon.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
