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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
