2015 Player Review - # 2 Nathan Jones

"Jones entered the count as a genuine contender to win his fourth best and fairest in a row and in the process become the first Melbourne player to achieve this feat but he still managed a top five placing after another top class season. His effort to play every match in 2015 was a remarkable effort now that it has been revealed that he played the season with a debilitating neck injury".

    amazing that he was able to do what he did this year with a debilitating neck injury that requires surgery and will require him to miss virtually the entire 2016 preseason.

    it will be interesting to see what effect thatr has on his year next year.

    personally i doubt it'll make a difference, as this bloke is just a legendary fighter.

    Champion.

    Will be back to his best in 2016 with hopefully a well deserved AA nod not far away.

    Enough G&D to put most of the list to shame, especially those who have been around the club for a few years.

    Leads by example.

    Go Nathan.

    Absolutely love this bloke. I thought he was a lot more inconsistent this year, even in the earlier part of the year. Perhaps a combination of heavy opposition attention and a neck injury from carrying 21 other footballers week in, week out, for the last few years.

    Hopefully back to his absolute best, which I think was last season, and if he can do that in a side that is winning at least 10 games for the year, I reckon he will give AA a shake. Hopefully anyway.

    This injury explains to me why for the first time since he has been at the MFC, Nathan Jones has not improved exponentially from the previous season.

    Even the previous two seasons when I felt he had absolutely reached his peak, he managed to get better.

    We can only wish him the best of luck with his surgery as with Tyson overcoming what must have been injuries this year, Salem, Frost and Kent being injured for lengthy periods, Petracca and Trengove to return, there is much to take us over the time to the NAB cup.

    Nathan Jones's (relatively) poor seasons are still a benchmark which few on our list are capable of attaining. Hopefully he gets himself right over the break and has a massive 2016.

    If anyone in the comp deserves some success it is this bloke, and the club owes it to him to give him 43 teammates who will stop at nothing to be the best that they can be.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
