Jones had not kicked on since his excellent debut season of 2013 and this year he managed only nine games. His best effort for the year came in his 50th game for the club but even then, he could only gather 18 possessions and on that basis, will be playing for his football life in 2016.

It shows our lack of depth when Matt Jones got 9 games this year although I did enjoy his game against Geelong.

No one on the list makes me rage more than him.

His disposals actually fuel childrens nightmares.

A matter of time before he is cut.

He didn't play in the final round. His last game of the year was against Fremantle in Perth, incidentally one of the worst games he has played.

He ain't up to it. No shame in that, he has given it a much better shake than any of us, but I hope we don't see him play again at AFL level.

When he's on he's actually half decent. But if he turns it over early his confidence drops and all of a sudden he doesn't even seem to run hard or contribute in any way. Terrible tackler as well. Free kick or broken tackle every time.

He's had a chance at an AFL career as a mature ager and doesn't seem to have strength or elite endurance. He's just a middle of the road athlete which really shits me. If you're given the rare as anything chance you should at least be a training machine like a Magner.

Of the 9 games he played he did really important roles against the Dogs and Cats in big wins, played well against North and from memory actually did ok in his first game of the year in the Hawks belting.

Unfortunately his other 5 games were full of gross ineptitude and so bad that he was dropped after each one of them!

That's pretty embarassing.

Thanks - the error has been corrected.

Shows that our depth is on the improve given he played nearly every game in his first two years.

Touch wood there will be a zero in the games column in 2016 before Matt's career closes. He's played a role in his short time at the club.

Please get rid of him before I have a brain haemorrhage watching his kicking.

There are worse players on our list, some of whom have already moved on. It would be a good sign for the club if he sits 30-35 on our list, rather than the 25-28 that he currently sits.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
