Nathan Jones needs to lose 5kg!

He will be a superstar but he has the body shape that will not only put weight on easy but also at a young age. I reckon he needs to trim down now in an effort to continue his rise to a full time professional gun. I hope he does because I really rate him and he is a very smart player.

No more bacon and eggs my man.

I need to lose 12.

What are you basing this on??? i Thought that Jones' endurance and running were part of his strong points??? In that case why would he need to lose weight?

 

I like the Fact that he is a big solid unit-we need that, it what we have lacked.

:angry: :angry:

AGREED.

:angry: :angry:


keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat..the stonger he gets ..he'll actually put ON a few Kgs !!..

dont sweat it...he's fine.coming along nicely..

i wouldnt be worrying about this one, his strength is his endurance and engine so doesnt need to lose any weight to improve this. more weight through the hips just makes it easier for him to break tackles and shake players off. although if he were to lose a few kg's perhaps he could give them to danny hughes; this kid might go alright if someone actually fed this fella!!!

Whoooah there tiger. This aint Australian Idol!

The boy runs and runs and smashes.

There will be no bikinis on Nathan Jones FFS! :angry:

 

well said st jon, a stiff wind would blow that kid over. might not b able to get on the weights now that he has had a shoulder arthroscope

Nah! He's not that big (I've stood next to him). The lack of hair makes him look heavy. He is just well muscled. If he loses that he will be pushed off the ball.

Jones needs a break, his first year and he did awesome

next year, another pre season will do him very well

I reckon he needs to trim down now in an effort to continue his rise to a full time professional gun.

He really doesn't, sorry!!!

This kid (even though he is older than me) is an absolute gun he can break tackles is composed under pressure is a good kick and can take a mark

What more do u want!!


I heard somewhere that the players pay him out for being a bit chubby, but then Brock got a hard time for the same thing at the start of his second season.

I think weight's a factor if you're the wrong side of 28, like Stuart Dew, or Byron. Jones has 10 years before we need to be concerned.

On the plus side, the ONLY thing he needs to develop body-wise is his endurance. He's not in the mould of, say, CJ who has needed to bulk up AND improve endurance.

If you're going to post things to be worried about when considering the tendencies of individual demon-listed players, Jones's weight would be about the 296th thing I'd be worried about.

I don't recall people saying that Brock needed to trim down by 5..... and he was a little more heavy set than our boy Jones.

I'm surprised Hannabal hasn't checked in on this thread!

The funny thing is that you guys are all so defensive. I rate him very highly and think he is great.

Little did you guys know that this (lose weight) is exactly what the clubs conditioning staff also thought and he has been encouraged to trim down.

Relax!

yeh jonesy im sure has been told to trim down but i guess it was a little bit of an adavantage in his first year but definetly for future sakes he should


He has trimmed down already. Anyone who saw him on Monday night could attest to that. He looked to be in terrific shape - at least my daughter thought so.

keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat..the stonger he gets ..he'll actually put ON a few Kgs !!..

Precisely BB59, I would have thought without knowing his weight by just by lookin' at him that he probably could do with putting on a couple of kilo's of muscle, he's still just a kid. He's never gonna be a speed machine so he'll need a lot of strength & also endurance, ah-la the diesel Williams. ;)

He only needs to tone down a bit of that puppy fat and further strengthen the muscle he already has in the same way Brock did, then he will be an absolute machine.

I think Moloney and Bate to a lesser extent needs to do the same.

Then we will have 5 bull tearing machines in Bate, Brock, Jonesy, Col and Moloney raring to bust some heads and split some pack.

I'm excited!

 

Don't worry. With the pre-season is set to give (as he said after the loss to freo) it's going to be fitness!

The guys who need to tone down will and all our players, particularly the young guys will all benefit big time!

I predict that Brock will come out of it even more toned than what he already is and if Read is to stay, he'll go into the season with a 12 pack :P

I don't recall people saying that Brock needed to trim down by 5.....

People didn't. Brock himself did. He went on holiday with Col after his first season, and after partying a little bit too hard, he came back heavier than he thought he would be. When conparing him to Jones all I said was that I heard Jones's team-mates paid him out for being chunky, not the general public.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
