Nathan Jones not named in AA 40

On the positive side this just adds more credence to our request to the AFL for special assistance, doesn't it?

Which midfielder would you drop out of the squad of 40 for him? Hasn't had a good enough year to sneak in. Surprised Dunn didn't get a look in, although his last 6 weeks weren't that great either.

I'd drop out Tom Libbertore, Jones is second in the comp for disposals, averaging 7 more disposals per game

You'll need to throw up more info than that - disposal counts do little for me. Libba has had a very, very good year. Some might say it's a line ball, but ask any supporter outside of us and the Dogs and Libba would get pick 8 times out of 10.

Brandon Ellis for a start. Statistically he beats him on pretty much every front.

I think the guy who is 2nd in the league for disposals and 3rd in the league for clearances deserved a spot in the top 40.

He had a better year then Libba & ward IMO... Dunn was good first half of the year thought he dropped away badly in the second half. Jetta was never going to make it, not saying he wouldn't have deserved it but the ignorant selectors probably didn't even mention his name

I would have him in before

Libba, Ward and Ellis and I don't care about their stats because pretty sure Jones stats will be right up there with them. Jones has nowhere near the midfield support these guys have had and usually gets best opposition opponent or if Roos decided to make him go head to head against opposition best.

I agree he was pushing to make the final 22 but not making the 40 is a joke.

That has to be the most flawed system since bloody Communism. I try to pay it as little attention as possible but that is just an insult to a quality player.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
