Nathan Jones not named in AA 40

Featured Replies

Not sure that I'd be'd giving Heppell a gong. Possibly picked because KB is jealous of his hair.

Edited by Moonshadow

 

Just saw the panel had Bartlett, Richo and Frawley on it.

What a shock that Ellis gets a nod ahead of Jones.

brandon Ellis?

you gotta be kidding me

Ok now I am [censored]

KB and Richo you biased losers

Reality check needed Nathan Jones ( clearly our best, aint near the top echelon) which really is what a few of us have been saying ........ Fabulous player but playing in a Sheeeeeeit team means just a tick under "A" grade

Dunn, Jetta very good but not as good as those whom they would replace.

REALITY CHECK !

Says the idiot pushing Juice's bandwagon.

 

I'm still upset over Robbo not getting selected in 2005.

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

Liberatore is the number 1 clearance player in the league. Jones stats stack up well but his impact on games was bigger last year. Those that expected him to get in need to remove the rose coloured glasses.


wake up old dee!

He has been a one man midfield since he arrived at the club. In any of the top eight teams he would win the Brownlow and many other top awards. To not be named in the squad is a disgrace.

The fact that he stands out in our team is because he is so damn good. your way off OLD DEE

i am a football addict & watch more game than anyone else,I absolutely guarantee you he is Norm Smith material, i hope we never find out because that means he won't be playing for us.

Care factor <<<<<< ZERO

My old dealer was a lot like you .

Jones reminds me of the idea of a big fish in a small pond. i.e Hes very good on our list

and a small fish in the sea.....there are many who impact greater than he in the game overall.

I like Jonesy. who wouldnt. He gives and gives, not only gives of himself but gives a shlt about the club.

Is that the criteria for AA doubt it.

Those who dont always don rose coloured glasses this seems expected.

We need to be better.


Give me a team of Nathan Jones's and well be better

He plays in the AFL there is no bigger pond, and he's killing them, what more can he do.

Not surprise. Shane Woewodin couldn't get a gig in 2000 when he won a Brownlow. Selectors have always ignored Dees players. Still stumped as to how Frawley ever got named

right on!

Give me a team of Nathan Jones's and well be better

Certainly another 3 or 4 but I dont think all positions are his thing !!

straight through to the keep huh

Having just read through this thread I am surprised and it takes a lot to surprise me these days were the MFC is concerned.

Jones has had a reasonable year as the captain of the worst side in the competition.

We are a side that had four wins and finished second last. we only missed last becuase we had a couple of percentage points better the Saints.

I dont remember Jones getting a best on ground nomination in any of the games this year.

He had some good games but also had some ordinary games.

He stands out at the MFC because he surrounded by a large number of poor footballers that does not make A Class just makes him the best of a bad lot.

The simple fact is that he is not in the AA 40 because he is not in the top 40 players.

Many just refuse to admit this. Jones was best afield maybe once, this year against Richmond. And that's a maybr.

I love the bloke, but he's a good not great player in a bad side. Champion Demon, but not one of the top 40 in the land.

Harsh reality.

He's our best player but he's not actually much good. He always runs into trouble and ends up on the bottom of the pack. No awareness of where to run to. Gets in the wrong position to take tap outs and hand passes. He's a great trier and leader just not an elite footballer.

More like clean bowled! beezlebub


Yes Jones is playing in the second worst team in 2014, and worst in recent history. Does that make his performance worse? IMO it makes his performance even better. Jones des not rely on players around him to shine. He does it by himself. Imagine how good he would be if he had a midfield like the hawks supporting his output.

thats because your opinion of a great team would be 11 Rioli's & 11 Franklins

He'd struggle to be in the Hawks best 22. Gets the ball a lot but provides little run and simply isn't damaging enough. Great midfielders influence a match no matter how bad a team is. If was as great as many here think he'd have taken matches like Brissie, Bulldogs, Saints by the balls. He doesnt. I really love Jonesy and want nothing more than for him to earn a premiership trophy, but hes no superstar. It takes watching a lot of footy to know this.

Having him as your best player (by far) is *not* a good thing.

Bullshite and just plain wrong. Deluded maybe.

Mark (no need to consult others) Evans has already told us that nothing short of the Black Death running through the club will get us a pick.

Well we can tell Mark ( I make it up as I go so who needs rules) Evans that the "black dog" has decimated our forward line. So we need special assistance espeially with no one in the top 40 and no rising stars to boot!!

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
