Plus Joel's 3 premierships as well. Its quite a record.

But well done to Nathan. he is been a tower of strength over the past through years and carried this team through the lean years. He never stopped trying and putting his head over the ball.

Its a shame the game wasnt in melbourne but cant help that. Would be nice to see the boys lift for there skipper.

also has Jonsey been recognised in the media for his milestone. this week. I have been away. I hope he has.

    Barely a whisper from the media (aside from the MFC site).

    3 flags. 8 finals series. 21 finals.

    Jones has 0 flags, 1 finals series, 2 finals.

    Jones is also the 19th most losing-est player out of all current players (24.37% winning record). Such a stat is usually skewed towards those who haven't played many games (e.g. Giles in worst with 9 wins from 54 games). There are only two players in the top 20 who have played 100 games. One is Garland, on 133. The other is Jones, on 199.

    Selwood, on the other hand, is the 7th most winning-est player out of all current players (77.48% winning record).

    You wouldn't blame Jones for having just a tiny bit of jealousy.

    Best wishes Chunk. Here's hoping his 200th inspires the troops to a memorable performance.

    There's no way he shouldn't play this week. What an overtly poor message that would send from the club.

    Surely the team will turn up to play tomorrow and to play bloody hard! It would be insulting to Nathan if they did otherwise. Well done Jonesy, you are a true legend of the club.

    A fine player who always gives his all - well done on your 200th Nathan.

    Well done Jonesy I will be there to see you reach the milestone as I was in your second and last final back in 06 (seems a lifetime ago).

    I just hope the boys lift for you today and give you the performance your services to the club deserve

    All the best Chunk

    Just finished reading todays Age and HS - not a word. That's disappointing but typical,

    Well, a premiership by 300 is a reasonable aim.

    Maybe even in his actual 300th - 20ish games a season for 5 years should land it at about the right time.

    Obviously the fact that his 300th game will be such a triumph is the reason nobody in the media feels a need to talk up his 200th.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
