Disclaimer: I really think Grimes in particular had stepped up the captain stakes this year & still have faith Trenners will once he's 100% right. I don't wan this to degenerate into another thread bagging the footy department for their choices for captain. I think the whole footy world can see we've put a lot of pressure & responsibility on 2 very young blokes, rightly or wrongly, and most of us agree it is wrongly.

This is a thread to celebrate my favourite player Nathan Jones!

I've been a huge Jones fan since day 1, he's been much maligned prior to recent years, I think too much was expected from him too early, especially given the culture he walked into (sound familiar). Today he gets his chance to lead the boys officially and I reckon he is going do a sensational job of it!! I don't care what jumper he followed as a kid, right now he is the bloke who really bleeds for the club, literally & figuratively.

Good luck Jones, you have worked very hard & deserve it, go smash em today boys!!!

    certainly did, if i look as fit as that at the age of 43 i'll be a happy man!

    On a more related note, Nathan Jones does Stinga's number 2 guernsey proud.

    Both fantastic players of the club.

    as Wayne Carey said on Triple M yesterday "Nathan Jones is single-handedly holding that club together"

    They went on to say how he would be considered a superstar if he played for Geelong or Collingwood.

    This bloke would win a brownlow at a stronger club, i really hope we can get him the win he deserves today!

    Yep, all the best to him today and for the remainder of the year whether it be as CC or vice.

    Great player who never drops his head and has forged his way to this position on the back of hard work and self improvement.

    He has flourished under the Neeld regime.

    Seemed to be on the outer under Bailey for some reason.

    Hope they maintain him as Co Captain following the return of Grimes. The Swans had three Co Captains in 2005.

    what a huge day in the life of this young man

    it is really just dumb luck that both captains are injured and he has been elevated, meaning he leads to side out as a sole captain.. although i'm sure he is aware that everybody knows he belongs there

    he really has earned this moment the hard way

    now as the club leader, with the club against the ropes, he faces the brilliant Ablett opposite him in the midfield

    he would be as determined as he has ever been to put in a good one today and I'm sure he will

    PS I'm with you Ron, keep him on as a third captain when the Jacks return for sure

    See, we respect Jones for his work ethic and he's thriving under Neeld. What does that tell you about the guys who are failing under Neeld?

    Even Mitch Clark is playing better since arriving at Melbourne, then you consider Tapscott, matt jones, Grimes, Sylvia, Gawn, Howe, Terlich, Garland, Evans, and probably more are all playing their best footy, the step up in Training may well be starting to pay off.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
