Matt Jones appreciation thread

What
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

He was really good last season as a mature age recruit and had a top 5 B and F finish

Must admit I wasnt sure if he would kick on this season and thought he may have just been a stop gap midfielder and a fringe player at best, but hes gone to another level

Ball magnet, quick, tough, takes the game on

Well done Jonesy 2.0

    Never loses a 1 on 1, has great quick hands and shows plenty of dash. Needs to tidy up kicking a little. Has been a great pickup.

    Good speed but like a few in our best 22 - makes some horrendous decisions with the footy.

    Needs to tidy up his finishing by foot. But his speed is an asset that can't be underestimated.

    His clangers overshadow a lot of his good work. Provides a lot of dash and feeds a lot of ball out. He seems to win his fair share of one on ones as well.

    that missed goal against WBdogs was a bad miss but the TV didnt show that he'd busted his nut from the back pocket to get to that position. He was totally spent. we needed that goal but a lot of blokes wouldnt have got there in the first place.

    He'll more than fill a place in the side until we can recruit more class. an absolute trier and never leaves anything out on the ground. I dont believe he's missed a game ?

    The thing I love about him is that he is always presenting. He's always the one getting those short chip kicks down the wing because he works so hard. His kicking lets him down at times though

    Am fast becoming a Matt Jones fan. I think last year he was forced to play more as an inside midfielder. But with Tyson, Cross, and Viney getting so much of the hard ball I think Matt Jones has been able to use his speed much more and be a real playmaker. Yes, he still makes a few questionable decisions, but he's fast becoming one of our better outside midfielders. I'd even go as far as saying he's one of our most exciting players to watch.

    tries hard but needs to tidy up a few things to really start to impact games.

  • Quote

    Can win the ball, can run and is tough...but he desperately needs to work on his disposal. Otherwise, I'm a huge fan considering we drafted him up at pick 50 odd. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he's missed a game since he debuted in round 1 last year.

    Something something disposal something

    He gives us run that we sorely need but needs to add strings to bow going forward.

    Hopefully will continue to develop and start nailing those goals when he streams forward ....and eliminating some of those ugly clangers.

    Along with McDonald, Grimes and Terlich.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
