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!)

I am the brother in the middle and often referred to as hopeless.

The kicking can be rectified. He's certainly a goer and wouldn't take a backward step.

he wouldnt dare, his big brother would whack him ...lol :)

Are you serious?

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?

I knew I would get grilled for that :)

Yes I am serious. I don't mind it on the AFL site - it's great in fact . I just don't like seeing how the MFC published his highlight reel on their website at this point in time. Unless if they publish a different draftee everyday (Zac Jones being the first).

monnocular I too love his attack on the ball, also a big fan of his dash.

His highlights package is very impressive, and he looks every inch an inside midfielder. If his work ethic and improvement arc are anything like his brother's, he's going to be a great pick up for whoever gets him.

If Zac wanted to play with us he could take himself out of the National Draft and go into the Preseason Draft where we have pick #2 and pole position (if we can come to an understanding with GWS who have to reduce their list).

Ummmm, that's not allowed.

Part of me is hoping we don't draft him, just to upset the few in this thread who are carrying on as if he's the second coming of Nathan.

The part of me that hopes we do relates to an off field incident .

I would like to see them exact revenge for it together ,every Queens Birthday ,for a few years .

Wait.

Was Zak the little brother who had to watch his dad have his teeth kicked in, by some drugfu**ed Collingwood supporting scumbags who were jealous of his teeth?!

Wow.

Imagine if be was drafted by Collingwood!!

Totally agree on his want to get the ball.

His disposal is a lot like Big Bro.

Head down kick high and long.

I think he would be available at 40.

But I don't think he is worth it.

So he's like big bro, but not worth 40?

Your words not mine.

I said he kicks like big bro.

If I were picking a recruit these days his kicking would be No. 1 priority.

From what I have seen in the draft there are a lot of kids better disposal than Zac.

And if that was the highlights package let's see the lowlights

If he is like big bro in that he works hard at his game, is durable, courageous and unrelenting then he would be a great get at 40. As one of the bolters however it would be unlikely he will be available.

Played a decent GF and gave everything. 21 disposals @ 85%DE. Was on 80% of the match. Could be a very valuable addition to our stocks now that he has some big game experience.

Signed until the end of 2017. Will he be in our future planning? I would assume 2018 and 19  will be his last opportunity to play with Nathan.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
