Nathan acknowledged as in the top 30 players in the AFL, long time coming.

    He has some bloody good players ranked behind him.

    And, relevantly, this is as rated by the players - not some fat journo.

    Well done Nate - a legitimate MFC club legend.

    Well 31 not quite top 30

    Top 30, top 40... It's all the same.

    Good work Jonsey!

    Yes, a poll of your peers is an accurate measure of your value in an industry.

    To tell you the truth I was slightly disappointed to see Nathan's name this early. Obviously I'm biased but I would like to think that as we become more than just a difficult training run for most teams to play then he will finally receive due recognition

    #31...poignant :)

    well done Chunk

    Look at all the other players AFL rankings. I think Jones is the only person outside the top 100. And he's ranked 31 by the better players in the AFL.

    Jones is a legend. Must be satisfying for him seeing this recognition, finally.

    Well deserved!

  • Quote

    Another season like last year and the Jones boy WILL be awarded an AA place and will give the Brownlow a big nudge.

  • Quote

    ... was just naively watching it on afl.com.au to see some good players, then suddenly WOOOOAAAAHHH Yes! Nathan at last!! So happy

  • Quote

    Well deserved I reckon!

    Perhaps he might now crack the AA squad :wacko:

    Still mystified as to how he was deemed by selectors to not be in the top 40 players last season. KB, you are a peanut.

    You have answered your own question P-Man.

    This is our grand final.

    Will be Nate and Dom next year, then Nate, Dom, Salem and Hogan some time after that.

    Tyson would shoot up the rankings just by delivering his 2014 form consistently. Would even go past Jones if his form towards the end of the year becomes his new standard.

    Awesome stuff. I saw the players ranked 41-50 last night and though 'oh great, hes missed out altogether, what a disgrace,'

    Go Jionesy!

    The issue is, P-Man, that it has nothing to do with the top 40 players in a season. By the time they name 3 or 4 rucks, 4 or 5 key forwards, 4 or 5 key backs, a couple of small forwards and small backs, all of which Jones doesn't play in, that leaves around 20 or so midfield positions.

    The question you then have to ask is if he is in the Top 20 midfielders. That's when it gets tight.

    Nb. Not sticking up for K(no)B, but when you are looking at the number 15-20 spot in a squad, there will always be debate on who should and shouldn't be in there.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
