Without going over the top with panic, it seems it's a bit of a fluff article that has been taken from comments made by Jones.  Nothing from his manager or himself for that matter.  He hasn't even put off talks - just that he will take his time.

I'm not panicking.. I promise...:ph34r:

    Posturing/waiting for the CBA as any player of his age & ilk should be advised to do.

    With his brother at the club, he won't be going anywhere.

    This is the new way things are done now. 

    Im not worrying about it anymore as it happens every fricken season. 

    No point worrying about shitz u can't control. 

    Its all a business.

    I think a lot of players will be doing this in 2016 because of the new TV rights.

    Doesn't bother me either way.

    He frustrates me.

    Would love to sign Cale Hooker as a free agent then trade McDonald out. 

    That's a very unlikely result but we can dream.

    Interesting comments so far. He definitely seems to be one of those players who divides opinion. I must admit, I find it a little hard to warm to him, but it shouldn't be too hard if he keeps playing like he did the first half of last year.

    Should the AFL drop the mandatory rule that requires every club to take a minimum three picks in the national draft so that Hawthorn can fit in all these players holding out on contract renewals so they can get to a premiership contender club? 

     

    We we may have to increase their player list numbers as well, why should Gen Z players be denied ultimate success?

    Start grooming Frost in the backline. While McDonald is a good defender every thing else he does frustrates the hell out of me and yesterday was no different.

    Or his brother, for that matter.

    Can't say this worries me. As mentioned above, a bit of a fluff article. I can't see him leaving given his brother is at the club too.

    Can't believe those who are sitting on the fence with this.

    He's 22 (?) years old and has already done jobs on some of the best forwards in the game. Is a running machine, powerfully built and takes the game on albeit with the 'frequently odd' mistake.

    If we lose him I'll be extremely [censored]-off.

    absolutely

    quality gorilla-minder, very much required

    At best he's a competent rebounding KPD, at his very worst he's a rich man's Zac Dawson. ^_^

    Keep.

    Off to Freo as well?

    I reckon you'll see Tmac and Jesse Sign on if we improve, and possibly both go if we don't, it's a pretty simple equation really.

    McDonald's signature doesn't worry me at all - fully expect him to sign.

    He's a gun CHB and would walk into any back six in the league; we're lucky to have him.

    I reckon we'll see them re sign on anyway, as we are on the up.  it won't depend on ladder posi. it will depend on players improvement & team harmony,  at this stage anyway.

    Hooker is too old for us now 'Dee', will be turning 29 the year he resumes playing...doesn't fit the list profile.

    If we are looking at top 4 with a shot at it next year then maybe, but I would also hold onto McDonald.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
