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.

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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
