Has anyone else noticed that Nathan Jones has been very conspicuous by his absence on the MFC site tweets. He usually tweets all day but for over a week I have noticed that he is not tweeting just DEMON HQ and some from Brad Green. Is he on a self imposed tweet black ban. Does anyone know what is going on. I know this is not as riveting subject as Tom Scully and probably wont make 34 pages but has anyone else noticed.

I think when he started commenting on politics he went a bit far.

Old fogie that i am I shouldn't miss his tweets but I do.

I think its a mistake to ban players from tweeting as long as they realise the risks and that its like any other form of public communication (ie dont tweet before you think of the consquences). Importantly its what all teenagers, young adults and not so young adults do these days and players should be free to have some normality in their life. There are too many other demands on them.

So Nathan if you out there a surf update would be great.

I doubt very much he has been banned from tweeting as Morton, Sylvia and Gawn are all still active. I get the feeling he maybe decided he wanted a break or perhaps after the Pies game, he sent himself into self-imposed exile to escape what must have been a lot of unfriendly tweeting.

And just what are these "political" tweets digby? I certainly don't recall anything particularly political in any of his tweets... and even if I did, I would never consider having an opinion, political or otherwise, as "going too far".

+1, nice to see that there is someone sensible out here.

He commented on the death of Osama Bin Laden. How dare he, he's not qualified to speak on such matters. He's just a stupid footballer :lol:

The internet is the greatest load of human garbage and nonsense since television . Hopefully he is improving his delivery by foot and not thumb . As Big Brother has already told us " I don't really understand Twitting or Tweeting . ........ Went to the toilet .............Ran out of toilet paper"......... I think I agree with the Demetriou on that one . Although ,yes ,I admit I like trawling the internet for garbage and nonsense .

As for television ,on 7 and 10 the only content worth watching is for those poor unfortunates that enjoy football . The rest of it wouldn't interest me unless I'd had enough acid to sedate a Large moose.

And yet, here you are (and yes, your attempt to justify it with your comment re trawling around for garbage etc didn't go unnoticed - internet equivalent to "oh, I buy Penthouse and Playboy for the articles"). If you were really concerned about such things, you would never walk out your front door. Like anything else, the internet and social media are what you make them. Yes, there's a lot of garbage purporting to be "the truth", but there is also a lot of very useful information to be had as well... you just need to be discerning in what you choose to believe.

A tweet takes a few seconds to throw out there, so it is hardly likely to be having an impact on Jones' game. Tweeting also throws him open to a lot of open and honest commentary on his (and the teams) performances than he would otherwise get anywhere else... you are kidding yourself if you think he comes onto Demonland, Demonology etc regularly to find out the current state of the football nation.

I think the club has stepped in, as it should. There is limited monitoring of Twitter, and players may often inadvertently provide commentary that can land them in hot water and with media coverage that they don't need.

See Dane Swan.

The club is in desperate need of a legitimate social media manager. Whoever is in charge at the moment has no friggin' idea.

hahaha is he now?

Is that the company behind Nathan Jones' website?

White is the last person I'd ask for help in this regard.

He's so internet savvy that on his twitter account he openly barracked for Melbourne to tank in late 2009.

Not a good look from a past player.

When I politely suggested to him that it probably wasn't wise to do that in such a public forum, he instead blocked me and continued doing it.

Not the smartest bloke.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
