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

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
