If there isย one guy that deserves every bit of success its our Nathan.

Nathan Jones: a Demon who keeps the faith

Well done dazzle, I read it over breakfast and was waiting for someone to post the link. Nathan comes across as very honest and his love for the club is evident. Some posters question his leadership but from the article it seems he is constantly aiming to grow in this area.

Nice article.

An interesting point I noticed:

"The footy program is likeย nothing I've seen in my time here ... how committed our coaching staff is to developing young players, not sitting around waiting for them. Age is no excuse, experience is no barrier."

Not trying to start another instalment of "drafting vs development", but surely this helps explain how much more was wrong than simply drafting.

One thing i've noticed with Nathan this year is just how much his leadership has improved, he's gone from being what i'd consider a semi-selfish player who'd always look after his own performance so at least he could hold his head high to now being about 80% team and 20% himself.ย 

He's always the first in to stick up for team mates in push and shove, straight into the middle when we need a big clearance, gets around the young boys when they do something well! he's just a legend!

He's probably imo slightly out of form at the minute, he's not kicking as well at goal this year as he usually does and making some skill errors but it's a really great sign for how the side has developed that he's not at his best and the side is going well, normally we'd fall to pieces if he wasn't at his best!

well done Nathan! can easily see you finishing as a 300 game premiership captain of the MFC! and you deserve it!

On track for our greatest games tally and he's already done enough during the hard times to have earned his stripes as a bona fide club champion. Imagine he were to helm the club to it's drought-breaking flag. Legendary status in the making.

205 out of a possible 210 games since debuting. Phenomenal. Nathan Jones is a legend.


He is Red and Blue, through and through. I really want him to be apart of a successful period with the club, he deserves it.

As honest as the day is long.


One of the best articles,and actually positive ย about us in about 10 years.

300 games coming up

Jones seems destined to become our games record holder and a legend of the club.

Ift here was a betting market for the Bluey I would be loading up on Jonesy to win his 4th this season. ย He is just getting better with age, and he looks so young and fresh out there. ย 

Doesnt turn 30 until next year and I bet hes still playing great footy for us at age 35, a la Sam Mitchell.

Jonesy just looks hungry this year. Set for a huge year!

Speaking of Captain it still sits uncomfortable with me that Viney is also a co captain. His last 2 weeks hasn't been the normal output we got from Jack last year. My personal opinion is that i think it could be weighing him down.


Jonesy lookingย in great Nick thisย year, seems to have gained a yard in pace.

Theres no one I'd love more to holdย that cup aloft than Chunk.

I think we'll see Jack tear a game apart in the next two weeks, but I don't see the point in him being made a co-captain this season.

The captaincy should have been left solelyย with Chunk IMO. That would haveย let Viney play another year where he could focus on developing his own game, and learn even more from Jones without actually having the pressure of captaincy thrust upon him this early.

Me too 'Dazz' ,no doubt in my mind we went too early with this and there was no reason.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
