Zak Jones

Featured Replies

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.

 

Pardon me for trying Bitty. Should I join the brigade pooh-poohing all posters who put up left field suggestions?

I'm still enjoying the trade action today and am hoping for further opportunities.

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

Does Kate Upton have a sister?

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'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?

The Febey boys

Todd and Jay Viney. Greg and Gerard Healy. Footballer Mark Jackson and crazy Mark Jackson.

Hassa and Lenny Mann

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try again

Hassa and Len Mann were cousins,

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!)

  • 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 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?
