Why is Nathan Jones untouchable?

He has been underwhelming as captain.

Unfortunately, the fat needs to be cut away. Anyone that has been part of and led this team to its losing culture over the past 8 years must be moved on. He's been at the forefront of it. He's the best player in a crap team and he's still very average. Tyson is already ten times the player Jones is.

I don't disregard the guy's effort, but he has zero clue how to win a game of football, or how to empower his teammates. He leads his team off with his head down.

How many times have we seen this image?

..............

If rumours about the coaching group being underwhelmed with him as captain are true, he should be no safer than any other player that has arrived at the club between 2006-2012. It's that playing group that has produced the current quality we see now. They should all be moved on.

I'm sick of sticking up for these dropkicks. It's the same damn players, every year!

Y-M?

    Funny how things change quickly. At the end of last year most of us thought our back 6 was solid and our front 6 was dangerous, but our midfield was woeful. fast forward 9 months, our mids look OK our forwards are woeful and our back 6 is down to a solid two with a bloke that is good but panicks everytime he gets the footy.

    All of the sudden we go from have a few holes to fill, to a hell of a lot with nothing coming through.

    Three defenders short, three forwards short, three mids short and a second Ruckman/forward(Gawn will be our No1 ruckman next season)

    At Casey on the weekend Hogan, Toumpas and JKH add in Pederson, that's it. Our injury list isn't long, in fact no one on that list makes a difference.

    Almost half a side is just not up to it with only 4 possible players that may get to the standard. For all people that believe our list is OK it is far from OK, Western Bulldogs list is OK if you are a Bulldogs supporter you are excited by your list, ours is depressing.

    Our mids are deplorable. We are 18th in clearances. Have a look at the disposals racked up by the GWS mids and tell me our midfield is OK.

    Bollocks.

    ermagerd praha, This club is like a tree on the cliff of an eroding bank, instead up burrowing your roots deeper or stabilising the ground with vegetation, you hack at the very roots that are striving to hold this tree up.

    (jones is the roots just in case you missed that)

    why on earth would we trade jones? What would you hope to get from that trade?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
