The Nathan Jones Contract

Featured Replies

I barrack for Melbourne not the players,,, Free agency has done that, 2 picks under 10 would be handy again and glad the club said 4 he is 27 next month so 33 years old end of 4....

This post made my day. Possibly not for the reasons it was meant to.

Hmmm, maths is not a strong point then. Not mine either.

Seriously, offer him six years on a front-loaded contract and just get it done... he'll only be 30 something!

 

Yes 4 year deal at $600,000 per year ... get it done. Three time consecutive Best and Fairest.

What if he wants $700k? Or $800k?

Send him on his way?

All I can say D'Ox is that my mate says that everything is positive and progressing well between MFC and Nate. If not before Xmas more than likely in the New year, but tells me we have nothing to worry about! Merry Xmas

Thanks D Merry Christmas to u to.


You mean we aren't already

Clark, Dawes, Vince, Cross, Tyson, The Prince, Garlett....It's a vicious circle. We just need to become better at it.

I don't think there are many that don't think Nathan Jones is just tops. What I am wondering about is the disconnect between what Nathan Jones will do as a leader and so loyal he will stay, and the desire to get Dangerfield (or any FA) to do the opposite to Adelaide and come here.

You mention what the club wants - and maybe what happened to Frawley was also what the club wanted, and we should not be damning a bloke with poor character when he wasn't wanted by his club?

And on your last point - what about if he doesn't think we are offering enough money? What if he takes a humble discount for all the success we are promising and Dangerfield arrives on double that?

I don't think it is very simple at all.

I am not across any contract/s but would have thought with the recent departures of Clark and Chip, Dawes into his 3rd year of his contract, Vince and The Prince on decent wickets, lots of kids and comparing our list player for player with the likes of Hawthorn and Sydney we could easily accomodate what Jones is asking and offer huge coin for "insert name".
 

Brilliant news. Now to be playing some finals like Chunk got to do in his first season.


Like Kornes for Port, he'll dominate best and fairest voting and end up one if the most awarded Demons ever.

Better than losing him as a free agent to Hawthorn. Or Geelong.

Absolutely over the moon.

Not going to be a walk in the park for him going forwards.


Well, just as I thought. A nice Christmas present to the faithful (and some with not so much faith).

Ho ho ho Merry Christmas.

Great Christmas present.

We finally re-sign a free agent.

Looks like Demoneyes and GNF were on the money.

Well done lads.


A very durable footballer 'Sir Paul', I have no problem with the 5 year term.

After the hype with the new recruits dies down I wouldn't be surprised to see the new Jones contract as a Christmas present to the supporters.

Happy to see this happen...no inside info as others profess but it just made sense to me.

Blood is truly thicker than water where Jonesy is concerned. Fantastic for Nathan, our Club and us supporters.

To all the drama queens on here..... I [censored] told you months ago he was going to stay MFC for life. Can this thread be shut down now ffs?!? What a joke.

 

There's no one more Melbourne than Jonesy, ask any other supporter to name a Melbourne player and he would come first every time.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
