The Nathan Jones Contract

Featured Replies

fantastic news - red and blue for life and forever a club great honouring the memory of the other loyal champion number "2"

 

Imo Jones is a true leader.

He could of easily waited and got higher offers throughout next season which would have been a massive destraction but instead he has been willing to negotiate and put it to bed now.

He deserves to be our sole captain.

Go Jonesy

 

A great of the MFC. Gives his all every bloody week. His name sits comfortably next to Flowers on the #2 locker.

When I heard the news I instantly had a vision of Jones and Goodwin holding up a premiership cup.

I hope it's an accurate premonition.

Good on you Jonesy.

Not Jones and Roosy????

Not Jones and Roosy????

It might have been the 2nd or 3rd premiership, but it was definitely a premiership with Goodwin as coach. :lol:

 

This is fantastic news

Fantastic news. As others have alluded to, this removes distraction and gives great confidence to the team (and supporters).


In an increasingly mercenary world It's so nice to see someone who still espouses old fashioned values such as loyalty, dedication and commitment. Nathan Jones you are an individual of the highest order, and I am so proud that you are the captain of the team I love.

Nice Jonesy.


Was there ever any doubt?

Nathan is in a different class to James.

Great news.

Was never in doubt, only to the large group of "Wo is me handwringing MFC supporters" what this proves is

  • As you say Jones is a born leader and a different beast to Frawley
  • Loyalty is not dead in football
  • Demonland has a number of supporters for whom no instant news means the sky is falling, who need to have a good look at themselves
  • Jonesy is a champion despite possibly ending his career without a Premiership medallion
  • The phrase Premiership player is possibly the most overated in football, sure we all want to win one but timing is everything and it doesn't lessen your impact on the game in any way
  • Jonesy can honestly say he bleeds red and blue.

Absolutely brilliant news.

Merry Christmas to all Demonlanders.

My daughter who is 2 is about to get a jumper with 2 on it, she will wear it to the GF in 2018 with pride.

As discussed above a player who turned around from average to our most consistent with hard work and dedication.

Our heart and soul.

Premiership player is only overrated when discussing Nick Maxwell or Nathan Ablett.

4 year deal is spot on.

After that it will be yearly

Well done Jonesy. You must now expect and demand your team all improve for 22 weeks...


Nice timing, the club obviously heard my concerns and quickly rubber stamped the deal. I don't need to hear it from you guys, but I know you are all very appreciative and thankful of my contribution towards the timely announcement of the new deal. It was never in doubt.

Steven Armstrong?

As for the main topic, very happy to see the Jones boy defy the pattern of the recent past. He thoroughly deserves the expression of confidence that a four year deal implies.

Now to see him enjoy some real success and a handful to challenge him for the next B & F.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
