We should of picked Alwyn!

 

blah blah blah...

Midfielder James Tsitas (Falcons) and Zak Jones (Dandeneong Stingrays) were both prominent as Vic Country took a three-point advantage into the main break.

blah blah blah....

Quote from the match report for WA vs Vic Country yesterday.

I do see the "intangible" benefits of drafting the brother of a player already at the club, much like benefits of a father son.

 

Why are people saying Dylan Grimes should be at Melbourne? The guys is just as worse as jack in regards to injuries and we would be all very frustrated supporters having Dylan on the sidelines all the time.. Clark is driving us all mad re his foot imagine if we had Dylan lol. when he is injury free (which is rarely) he is a good player for sure.

Not disagreeing with you about his injuries keeping him off the park DD36, but during Dylan's draft year his injuries were unknown. I have a number of very astute Richmond supporting mates (I know, that sounds impossible) who are grateful that we overlooked Dylan. They say he is a player who makes their backline more complete when he's not injured. Once they clear up, I feel he will be a very good player for the Tigers.

While we are not a charity, I believe a younger brother will often lift his level of performance when playing alongside his sibling. Especially when the older one is as well respected as Nathan. If its a choice between two draftees of reasonably similar ability, I'd go the brother. I certainly hope he is as hard working as Nathan. Good luck to him regardless of where he goes.

I really hope we take him, though we shouldn't spend overs on him just because he's Chunks brother.

However he's shown enough to give the impression he can be a player. I think he could excel at the MFC, having such a driven and hard working role model in Nate.


Was named in the back pocket in the u/18 all Australian team

Draft Zak, Tommy Lee Jones and Special Delivery Jones and we are set

Isn't he the 'young' brother that was with his dad at the queens bday clash a few years ago when that Filth supporter tried to pick a fight? Zac would surely have developed an extreme hatred of the Filth as a result. That must give him some determination not to be selected by them!

:):):)

 

Good bloodlines, did you know their mum was on the TV show "Gladiators" back in its heyday? Believe she went by the name Storm

Its a YES from me. 3rd round pick - pick #40 ish.

He has good build, run and would be a creative, tough, half back that we lack. Jonesy brother would be a good acquisition.

No way! Are you kidding? I loved that show!

Really???? She was ridiculously seductive. I'll never look at Nathan the same way ;)

<facepalm>

Is he any good?

I don't care about bloodlines.

We are not a charity.

IF he is a genuine contender for "best available" when the pick comes, sure, but don't elevate him just on his genes. (Cockatoo-C x2, Molloy, Gasper, Kavanagh, etc etc)

Sometimes it works as well, eg Kieren Jack and brother (so far). But as you say mono, if he's near the best available at our pick, yes, if not, pass.


I hope he is considered for our second round pick. He made the All Australian team, the skill is definitely there, I presume he will have a similar personality and work ethic to Nathan I just hope he slides enough for us to pick him up.

He was meant to be the best footballer of the three brothers.... However, nathan is the best athlete of the three

Ditto! I had a mega crush on Storm as a 12 year old. I loved that show too. This news has rocked me!

Storm was Charlene Machin. Lives and works in NSW.. Nothing to do with the Jones boys.

Zak Jones can seriously play.

Its a YES from me. 3rd round pick - pick #40 ish.

He has good build, run and would be a creative, tough, half back that we lack. Jonesy brother would be a good acquisition.

Would love him as a Demon if he is available from 2nd round onwards. Named All Australian, praised as one of the best half backs in his age group, and he is built and hungry just like our Nathan. Hopefully it falls our way and he can play alongside his older brother for many years to come!


Cause we have a glut of small back flankers with good disposal and bloodlines of determination and grit. Nah, pass.

;);)

I am impressed someone can start a rumour that Storm from Gladiators is Nathan Jones' mum and have idiots like me believe it.

 

I've heard big wraps on this kid, but it's unlikely he'll drift to our third round pick.

So, we might be put in a difficult position here, do we take him with our second round pick...

Or, do we gamble that he might possibly be there for our 3rd?

I'm tipping we will probably gamble he'll still be there and most likely he'll be gone.

But, our second pick is like gold in this draft, no doubt a VERY good player will slide.

Salem could slide and some even have Dunstan sliding!

It does happen... No-one would've tipped Grundy and Kennedy sliding to Collingwood last year.

Especially Grundy, as many had him going top 3!

  • 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?

    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?
