Just thinking about how long we have been calling out for a true A-Grade Player at the top of his game and really believe we have one right now in Nathan Jones. The bloke is as tough as they come, an

Hahahaha your all talk mate. Your interests in 'body bulking' and 'unhealthy eating' (not to mention your dp) just indicates to me that your a fat worthless piece of [censored]. Yep, i'm playing the keyboard warrior right now :) anyways why do I bother? have a good one mate! I'm sure your morbid obesity will get you far in all areas of life.

It doesn't work if you criticise someone on what you think they look like on the internet.

Also, why pick on the morbidly obese when they clearly cannot help being fat.

Those insults probably give a misleading insight into my character...but upon closer inspection you will realize that I'm just replicating the petty insults that the other bloke does on a regular basis.

No, on closer inspection you think (with no inside knowledge) that Nate Jones will go to the hawks. NFI.

Not sure why you bother with him BBO, he's made 398 posts and not one of them has been worth reading. Highly doubt that will change anytime soon either.

You have read all of my 398 posts? I'm flattered, to say the least. Anyhow...isn't this a thread about Nate Jones? I think we should all re focus on the topic at hand

Sure. Go ahead and tell us more about why Jones is off to Hawthorn in a few years time. We're all waiting in anticipation...

Some insults are funny though.

What's an A-grader, if not Nathan Jones?

Compares about evenly to Josh Kennedy, Jordan Lewis, Travis Boak, Callan Ward, Dayne Beams, Rory Sloane.

The only way Nathan Jones isn't A-grade is if you only count about 5 midfielders as A-grade.

He's also taken on a leadership burden heavier than perhaps any other player in 20 years.

It's crazy that this is still a debate.

Unless you are confusing A grade with elite (i.e. the top handful of players in the league), Jones is CLEARLY A grade. Be happy we have him and don't downplay his ability just because he plays for us. He is a gun.

Depends on how you grade them.

In my mind he sits alongside players like Mundy, Marc Murphy, Priddis, A Swallow. All quality players but just below A grade.

A grades are Dangerfield, Watson, Fyfe, JPK, Selwood. All better players then Jones.

Pendles and Ablett are in a different cat altogether.

For Jones to do what he does in a shitty team like Melbourne easily makes him A grade. I wonder how the blokes you've mentioned above would currently go at MFC?

Ablett is off the chart. AAA grade.

FFS, some people just have no idea.

I don't really know (or care) whether Chunk is an A-grader or not. What I do know is that he is now in his prime, and has a chance over the next few years to make a name for himself as one of Melbourne's great captains. He has had a good career so far, but there is greatness not far away, touch wood ...

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
