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

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

Bulldust. He had a fantastic season. This oversight doesn't change that one iota.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
