Couldn't match the form he displayed in his excellent debut season but showed some flashes of good form mixed with some disappointing performances that saw him dropped to Casey around mid-season.

    VFL level Player will be gone for 2016 season

  • Quote

    Another ordinary player who gets a game because the players behind him in the queue are even worse. As with Dom Barry, a player who was inexplicably given a two year contract early in the season - the reasons for this continue to elude me, as he would seem to be ripe for delisting at the end of next season.

    IMO - Can still improve to the required AFL level, wins one on ones and shows pace, needs to tidy up kicking and gets hands on the footy a bit more. Can still make it.

    Runs harder than any other player on our list.

    But if you don't get the ball that means he should be in Althetics not AFL

    Jones work rate is one of the reasons he has racked up so many games in his first 2 seasons. His disposal let him down at times, and is one of his major flaws. If Roos is aggressive at the trade table, Jones might be a name thrown up to send back salary on an incoming deal. Jones may stay on at the MFC, and probably will start the season in the best side. Competition will come for spots, meaning the Matt Jones will have to work on his game to get a spot.

    but he DOES get the ball, just sometimes butchers it. Although a lot less than some on here think.

    Which says that our list is still a way off.

    The sooner these kinds of blokes are off the list, the better.

    We can't be carrying players who have one elite non-football skilled specific attribute and expect to consistently improve as a side.

    It just won't happen.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
