    One of the best "leaders by example" i've seen at the MFC. Nose down bum up sheer guts. If you ever needed someone to go into the trenches with... look no further.

    To go through the last few seasons in the state we were in and perform at the level he did...legendary stuff.

    He's really worked on his game over the past two or three seasons and it's paying off big time. Last year, he began to make better decisions and seemed to recognise his limitations. I'd say he'd have to be A grade this year. It's a real credit to him. He was working his arse off, even before Roos and Stone waved their magic wands. Now he's a super hero.

    I also posted it in another topic, but if he keeps this up for the rest of the year, he could very well be a smokey for the Brownlow.

    Jonesy was one of the few, if not the only one, who improved under Neeld. I think it just says something about Jones as a player and person. Hell, he'd improve with a nutless monkey at the helm!

    Tropic Thunder fan!

    Keeping with the theme - Jones has been putting tiger balm on this competitions' nuts for a while now - about time people noticed...

    Skilled player, rarely injured, leader among men. Class player overall. I'd back him in to be the next Dee to top 300 games. Looks likely at reaching 200 next year and he'll only be 27 when that happens.

    Also could someone please post a brief report of what the Jones boy has to say tonight on Talking Footy?

    Awesome. Just about to watch it and Mad Men.

    And, er, go Jonesy.

    Was watching his game & Viney's on the weekend & a thought crept into my head. Todd Viney was one of the great leaders of our club through the 90s but only captained for 2 years because of Gaz being such a magnificent leader. Is history repeating. Could Jonesy be skipper for the rest of this decade & Jack, who oozes leadership, will end up skipper in the twilight of his career. Whichever way it ends up no one can question the leadership of the club & I don't just mean the skippers.

    Todd was named Vice Captain in his second year at the club, after just 13 games, which shows just how highly regarded he was after crossing over from SA.

    For whatever reason, he was replaced by Danny Hughes in 1989.

    I was a big fan of Viney Snr but I've seen enough after 20 games to be confident that Jack will be the better player. His disposal is far better than Todd's, who wasn't really a great user of the footy until the twilight of his career.

    Just watched Nathan Jones on Talking Footy. I have to admit to being surprised at how well he spoke. My questions about whether he was a suitable captain in years gone by had nothing to do with football ability or on ground leadership. It was about his public speaking and being up front representing the club in the media, at functions etc... On Talking Footy tonight he was very, very good. No constant umming and aaahing, he answered the questions, he talked up the club, and most of all was honest about some of the tougher questions.

    When asked if he thought Jack Watts' introduction to the club and first season was handled poorly by the club, he was up front and said "yes", he thought that Jack was handled badly by the club.

    And in passing, that passage of play where he was monstered on the ground by 3 Richmond players, and he kept fighting and wrestling until he stood up and handballed to a team mate - inspirational.

    I like that you pu it in that perspective. Fresh and honest. Ive only spoke with him the once and was similarly take aback ( sts ) i.e wasnt what I expected.

    This lad is quite a deep thinker I suspect. the skeggyness etc is just him. but I think he has a clear vision of himself , the team, his place in it and our way forward.

    I think he makes a brilliant choice as captain

    • 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.
