150? Just me??

Anyone else noticed the MFC's coverage of Sylvia's 150?

Have they forgotten that Nathan Jones is also reaching that milestone this weekend? No mention on the website thus far...

Certainly no articles, or Jones-related features/stories - correct me if I'm wrong.

The MFC'S website is awash with Sylvia stories and timelines, etc - where are the stories and plaudits for who is, undoubtably, the greatest clubman, and, yes, player, for the Melbourne Football Club at this point in our history?

Just seems more than a little strange and unfair...

Is it just me?

P.S. - Demonologists, excuse the cut-and-paste...

    If you look at the website, the main image has one on each side, I have a feeling we'll see a day or so for Jonesy starting Friday, just like the last day or so has been Col.

    Well, I hope so anyway....

    Balls.

    Screw the banner.

    This is a player that could potentially top Neitz's 306.

    Easily our best player for years. Where are the Nathan Jones stories?

    Is this just a keep Colin campaign week?

    I think this is a shameful oversight.

    Eh, maybe Jones has requested they only make a big deal when he passes 200 and 300.

    Talk about two completely different 'football journeys'.

    If it is a 'keep Colin campaign' then it seems to be working. Let us now focus on them both reaching their 200th game.

    A psychologist would love this site. Full of negativity & conspiracy theories.

    I am certain than if Melbourne ends up on 3 wins for the season then, Half-Life 3 = confirmed.

    Totally agree.

    I read in one of the papers that Jonesy's only missed 5 matches since his debut, he's an allround champion!

    Same article mentioned that Howe hasn't missed one game since his debut, I think he racks up 50 this weekend - another champion of this team.

    Well done fellas, I hope the club recognizes your contribution to date, as I know we do.

    Lamentable that a real champ and a goer gets usurped by the perenial showboat gunnabe.

    I went to training this morning and asked Nathan what was going on......in his typical fashion, said "keeping it quiet''.........I told him he was being "expletive stupid" and deserved every accolade, thanked me, pulled his hood over his head and zipped off

    I have received this back from the club

    Thought some may be interested

    "Thanks for your email.

    To explain, this week Nathan Jones has done an exclusive with Fox Footy, a segment with his younger brother for the Robbo Show and will do a pre-game interview when he arrives on Saturday. His ‘time line’ was always planned to go up on the site on Friday.

    In regards to Colin Sylvia, he did his first media appearances for the year on Wednesday compared to Nathan Jones who speaks with the media weekly.

    I hope this clarifies that we did not ignore Nathan Jones in the lead up to his 150th.

    Please feel free to contact me in the future if you have any questions.

    Cheers,

    Ryan"

    OK, our admin hasn't triumphed in all areas, but why do we have so many on here who think the worst of the admin at every turn without at least waiting to see what happens? When these were posted it was still possible that Jones was planned to be parachuted into Skilled Stadium alongside 3 marching bands.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
