I realise I should know this, but what's the record for number of Blueys? And consecutive Blueys?

This all started with getting Roos, getting the culture right and getting the players excited about the clubs future and direction....

Take a bow Peter Jackson.

Having PJ is probably the best thing that has happened to the club in the last 20 years. IMO he should be on the banner.

I don't disagree with you what I was suggesting was that he had not said those words.

My experience has been when someone says " I want to remain a one club player " then you know that are off.

So far Jones has not said those words.

Well now he can say it and it will be true.

Amazing what difference a couple of days and one signature makes.

While I have never had any doubt about the character of Nate, perhaps more importantly, this decision says a lot more about the direction this club has taken, which is diametrically opposed to a few years ago. I feel realistically more confident as each day passes. Now all that has to happen is that the injury Karma bus stays well and truly clear of the MFC

I think that you will find that it is Jim Stynes with four (and Carl Dietrich holds the record for the number of Blues)!.

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

Not sure the Pies would have won the Premiership without Nick Maxwell. Yeah, he's a bit unco and not the most gifted player, and yeah, he's about as attractive as the back of a bus, but the man was a bloody good leader. You only had to see the effect on the team once he did his ankle this year to know that his impact went far beyond what he did with the ball. I reckon Tom Harley is the same.

(Oh, and for my on-topic contribution: Chunk I love you more than it is healthy for a man to love another man who he has never even met).

So what is it 4 years @ $750,000 pa

Absolute legend.

Now I hope the idiots around him help him see some finals action.

I've distanced myself from having favourites as I've become bitter and pessimistic over the years, but I love a fighter, and I love a good consistent player, which has even seemed like too much to ask for at this club in recent years.

I love Jonesy. I want us to succeed just for him.

Ummm... No.

Stynes has the record for most Blueys (4 - shared with Allan La Fontaine), and most consecutive (3 - shared with Jones).

I'd have Jones at very short odds to equal most Blueys and beat most consecutive Blueys records in 2015.

Carl Ditterich won 1.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
