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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
