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

Didn't realise this season Jones was second in total disposals and fourth in clearances for the entire competition.

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.

This is fantastic news

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

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!

Absolutely stoked with this love you Jonesy!!!

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.

Can we now change thread to jones re signing or contract extension to 2019

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...

such great news. We are watching a MFC living legend go about it, how lucky are we?! (for that anyway).

21 games off playing his 200th game, hopefully can notch it up this year!

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.

It was never in doubt.

Uh, ok.

Thanks Chicken Little.
