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.

    its pretty poor isnt it

    and Im writing the club on this.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
