Nathan Jones

The Chazz
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

 

Jones has passion and love for our club and our team and his first paragraph sums it all up. Hope he can keep improving and win a flag with us. I recon he would be one of the happiest.

We need to cherish all our players who would die for this club, period. Noone else wants a piece of us!

    Do any of you speculators have any evidence that:

    (a) Nathan Jones considered not signing a new contract with Melbourne

    (B) Melbourne considered not offering him a contract

    © Melbourne put Nathan Jones "up for trade"

    Didn't think so.

    I don't understand where you're coming from, and where you are going with that.

    It seemed to be "given" on here and anywhere else potential trades where discussed that Melbourne was considering what to do with Nathan Jones and that the player himself was contemplating his future with the club.

    Then the media reports that Jones has signed a new contract with Melbourne and put an end to the speculation about his future (which the media "made up" in the first place).

    The actual time line reads like this: Season finishes ... contract ends ... player signs new contract.

    Too many people accept what they are spoon fed when it was just filling column inches and air time when there wasn't much exciting to talk about.

    Season finishes... OOC player discussed until re-signs/other. Seems natural to me... Who's being spoon fed? I still don't follow :rolleyes:

    I agree.

    It reminds of the blownup kefuffle in Cuba in the early 60s.

    The actual time line reads like this: Cuba had nukes. US saw the nukes. Cuba got rid of nukes not two weeks later.

    End of story.

    I'm just saying, if you are unwilling to read beween the lines (or in some cases - the lines themselves) you won't get a true account.

    Still waiting on the "evidence" that Nathan Jones or anyone at Melbourne who has any say in these decisions thought anything would happen other than Jones signing a new contract.

    During the Cuban Missile Crisis there were quotes attributed to people who could potentially push some kind of button that would effectively destroy some part of the US or USSR that led people to believe this was actually possible.

    And what evidence do you want?

    Do you not watch the games? Can you not see that Nath (as big a heart as he has) had some issues this year, as he has had at times? Do you not think when he was dropped after playing every game he wasn't thinking WTF?

    His first mention of 'taking time to sign' in his blog is an indicator. Don't think this was in regard to his next dog purchase.

    I love his passion but I have my doubts on his ability. Hope I am very wrong.

    That question is an oxymoron.

    If they are speculators, by their very nature they have no evidence.

    Oops.

    huh? That reads like the opposite of what you said before

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
