Pity there's not a younger brother rule.

Luke Ottens, Damien Gasper, Cockatoo-Collins boys?

 

From afl website

"Zak Jones, the younger brother of Melbourne midfielder Nathan, impressed for Vic Country. Jones mopped up across half-back and was hard to beat in the air, too.

He finished with 21 disposals, which included five rebound-50s, each with a good level of composure. "


We had the chance to take Dylan Grimes but didn't

If he's average pace, skinny, has freckles and looks scared we'll take him. But seriously good luck to Zak

Probably another Aaron Heppell, just gets a game because his brother can play.

Certainly Dylan Grimes bucked that trend, that kid can play.

 

Would Dylan Grimes even get a game in our back line? I haven't seen him play much but I think the our back six is better than Richmond.

Our back six is a lot better than Richmonds, I still think he'd easily get a game in our backline as a rebounding defender.


And some sleeves.

Actually looks a solid lad

Nath was pretty massive in his debut year, I remember Triple M nicknaming him Little Chief after Dunstall...


Just concentrate on the balance of Grimes boys, they get better the younger they are.

Except that Jack is twice as good as Dylan.

If he is as hard and durable as his bro then he will be sought after.

why is he playing for VIc Country if his TAC club is Dandenong


why is he playing for VIc Country if his TAC club is Dandenong

Because there are only 4 "country clubs" so a couple of the outer metro clubs are designated country

VIC COUNTRY 5.1 7.9 10.10 15.17 (107)

TASMANIA 1.1 4.1 6.2 7.2 (44)

GOALKICKERS

Vic Country: McCartney 3, Willsmore 3, McCartin 2, Saunders 2, Drummond, Heppell, Lang, Merrett, Tsitas

Tasmania: Dickenson 2, Joseph, Fox, Nankervis, Pearce, Willis.

BEST

Vic Country: Taylor, Holman, Tsitas, Willsmore, Jones, Leslie.

Tasmania: Templeton, Grey, Jones, K.Kolodjashnij, Nankervis, McGuiness

Zak Jones, the younger brother of Melbourne midfielder Nathan also showed his ability, displaying the same brute that his brother is famous for. Jones is a solid size at 181cms and 74kgs, hes a strong marker and is reliable with the ball in hand. Against Tasmania, he showed courage to leave his player and spoil another contest, and was comfortable enough taking defensive marks, backing his judgement. Jones finished the game against Tasmania with five rebound 50′s and 21 disposals and was a play maker off half back for the majority of the day.

Get him in the side and the commentators really will have trouble keeping up with the Jones'.

 

The Jones's we already have are good so why not add another.

Being brothers the Jones boys could bring their game to another level by being inspired by each other and playing in the same team.

It's not as if we don't need another mid!

But maybe a bigger question would be does lil brother Jones WANT to play for us.

He used to play for mount eliza, like his brother, they wear demons colours, seen him play some junior footy, pretty good but must have gone up a notch since

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
