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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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.
