In Today's game he is dirty.

Nathan Jones not named in AA 40?

Nor should he be.

A very good ordinary B-grader, with an A-grade attitude and work-ethic.

Doesn't make him an A-grader though.

You'll be burnt at the stake around here for such comments.

I love Jonesy as much as the next Melbourne fan. A star who will end his career being one of the club's all-time greats. But he's a good player in a bad team. If he were as good as people say he is, we wouldn't be drooling over the prospect of Dangerfield coming to the Dees.

He's been the only player from 2008-2012 who has been a genuine treat to watch every single week. He bleeds red and blue.

pretty sure your the one who said if he was on Hawthorne list wouldn't be in best 22, so do you mean he would be all time great for Box Hill FC

I said he would struggle to make their top 22. Who in the midfield would come out in favour of Jones?

Comparatively, Melbourne is far, far below Hawthorn's best standard. Jones is a good player in a bad team. What makes you think he would walk into Hawthorn's side?

During the year when Melbourne gets flogged, everyone hyperventilates and says we don't have a single player that would get a game in a top 8 side. Why? Jones gets a very loose tag every game. He simply isn't damaging enough with the football.

Don't put words in my mouth and equate that to being, "Jones is not a good football". He's just nothing more than a good player in a bad side.

We need much more talent and depth in a midfield area already with Jones, Tyson, Vince and Viney. I think that's quite telling.

I'm just trying to rationalise why he isn't in the AA side. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this.

i dont understand they are your word's, struggle to make their top 22 & nothing more than a good player in a bad side, yet one of the clubs all time greats. how can he be both, thats what my post was about. What words have i put in your mouth.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
