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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
