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.

    Yep. There is an article in the Australian today.

    Article about McDonald & Jones here.

    The comments about Jones seem pretty vague. Must be reluctant.

    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 don't think there is supposed to be one?

    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!

    Zac Clarke committed to Freo until the end of 2013 not long ago.

    Cam Bruce is definitely on his way out it seems.

    This maybe so- but how have you come to this conclusion?

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
