Zak Jones

Actually, not a bad idea. Perhaps a club needing an experienced ruck with salary cap pressure might give up a pick around 25-29 for Jamar if we paid half his contract?

I'm half optimistic Moonie but in my wildest fantasies I couldn't imagine anything like that for Jamar!! As Jman said - we'd have to pay someone to take him.

One possible downside of our very successful trade period so far is that Zac may fall out of our reach.

But then perhaps all the other potential suitors have heard the very strong rumours about his really bad knees - only expect a season or maybe two maximum out of them. And "the other issues"!

has he got knee issues as well? Geez, poor kid. dicky knees ontop of his ankylosing spondylitis. I hope he'll make it to 30.

I have zero interest in Zac Jones because he's a Brother of a current player. I couldn't care less.

I'm interested in him because he sounds like a younger and better version of Terlich. U18 All-Australian defender and Vic Country's MVP. Can apparently play midfield too.

The fact that he is Nathan's brother adds 'intangibles', would make his transition into AFL footy much easier.

True, Zac has to be chosen on merit alone.

But if our pick comes down to two players of equal ability then Jones Jnr should get the nod. Yes footy is a business but there should also be room for sentiment and heart.

Does Kate Upton have a sister?

Yes but nobody has any interest in her!

I definitely would rule him out because of this fact. Yeah because his football ability is undeniably linked to the fact that his brother plays for MFC.

I wouldn't rule him out because of it and I wouldn't rule him in because of it.

Pick players on merit.

I agree they should always be picked on merit AND to fit into the needs of the club list and its gameplan. This is something I think Roos does brilliantly.

Just as a matter of interest see how many brothers we can name who have played for the Dees. I'll start off:

Flowers: Robbie and Tom

Johnstons: Terry, Tassie and Bob (although I rather suspect they were cousins)

Cordners: Dennis, Don and Ted

Macdonalds: James and Anthony

Stynes: Jim and David

Can anyone name any others?

Jimmy's brother was Brian (Stynes)

Matthew Febey was Stephen's twin

Why on earth would the MFC put his highlights on the club page right now? It's no good for anyone.

If the club don't pick him at 9 it may have only got his hopes up (and some fans), and he won't be around by our next pick. Alternatively if they are advertising we are keen to select him at 9 it's just a stupid move.

I like Zac Jones but this was a poor decision by the media person in the club today.

Did the MFC put these clips up, or did they originate from AFL /NAB?

I love the way he attacks the ball - like his bro - but I guess his disposal is why he isn't mooted top 10-20. Only hits a few targets.

It's just the usual pick up of an article on the AFL site:

afl.com.au/news/2013-10-21/keeping-up-with-jones

It does no harm, i doesn't say anything to imply MFC is after him, so where's the potential disappointment or pick 9 issue? It keeps MFC in the news, is positive and I expect it will go into any portfolio we put together to lure a sponsor. Where's the harm. Maybe BB is right - you're not serious?

The article does mention his 22yo brother Josh as well! Who does he play for? (Hard to beleive as the brother in the middle that he would be hopeless!)

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
