Nathan Jones season

Featured Replies

I, like the first few posters thought it was top 5 in the club, which was a strange question. Glad it was clarified.

Top 10 in the league seems about right, not Top 5.

AFL coaches voting so far:-

LEADERBOARD

55 Gary Ablett (Gold Coast)

44 Josh Kennedy (Sydney Swans)

39 Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)

38 Joel Selwood (Geelong)

35 Nathan Fyfe (Fremantle)

35 Robbie Gray (Port Adelaide)

32 Patrick Dangerfield (Adelaide)

32 Nathan Jones (Melbourne)

31 Nick Riewoldt (St Kilda)

30 Brent Harvey (North Melbourne)

That's pretty good company he's keeping. Level with Dangermouse is good given how highly people like to rate him.

 

9/10. Career high disposals and would be seriously pushing All Australian. Is finally elite

He'd be my number 1 at Melbourne. Probably top 20 in AFL at this stage

We are extremely blessed to have someone like Jones who Salem, Viney, Tyson and Toumpas can all look up to and learn from.

I've never seen another player so determined to get the absolute best out of themselves year upon year.

He is a genuine star.

 

AFL podcast today, four panel members including Drew Petrie

They were naming their top 10 players

Not sure how many had Jones in the top 10 as i wasnt paying close attention, but I heard at least 2 of them name him in their top 10, with one of them having him as high as 6th best i think it was

The Jones Boy is finally being recognized as the superstar he is. Absolutely elite A grade champion.

There was a bit of play late in the last quarter of the richmond game, where he dived for the ball against deledio, a 2nd richmond player jumped in to tackle. He collected the ball, basically lifted these 2 blokes off the ground as he got to his feet and got boot to ball to a teammate out from the congestion. The bloke is a star.

I was laughing out loud at that piece of play. The sort of thing only the VERY good players are capable of doing.


1. 9/10 - There was a bit of play late in the last quarter of the richmond game, where he dived for the ball against deledio, a 2nd richmond player jumped in to tackle. He collected the ball, basically lifted these 2 blokes off the ground as he got to his feet and got boot to ball to a teammate out from the congestion.

Another bit summed it up for me, watching the replay - and actually Eddie Mcguire echoed my sentiment.

Late in the last quarter in the back line ball in dispute, close game, Nathan comes steaming in dives in, wins the ball and handballs it out.

Mcguire just explodes with "Jones again" - exactly what I thought, just the fact that he was there and in that position to win the ball - on top of everything else he'd already done.

I was hounded down last year when I dare suggest that he wasn't Elite

He was more like B grade.

This year with the better team support he is A grade.

He still has areas to work on and I'm sure he will get there by years end.

But..... And a big But......... He will be overtaken by Tyson who has the silky skills that most Elite Players have that Jonesy doesn't.

One might say that without the support last year, he was equally as good as this year; it must make life a little more comfortable when he doesn't have to carry the whole team by himself.

He's not great, but he's not the worst commentator, McGuire. As long as he's not commentating on a Collingwood match.

Great pick up that from Jonesy. Pretty much sealed the game for us that play.

He's the sort of player that welcomes a challenge and never drops his head, and with greater responsibility, he thrives. Really impressed with his year so far. I felt last year was his first great season. He's backing it up again.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
