FAREWELL MATT JONES

Featured Replies

Matt Jones has played his last game for the MFC.

Calling it now.

I've probably been the biggest detractor of Jones, but this is wrong. He was far from the worst today, he was pretty good early.

I've been one of his biggest detractors, but he was close to our best player in the first half.  He was terrific.

Faded in the second half, no doubt, and that error at the end was bad, but if we based things off an error like than then many of our players wouldn't get a gig either.

Calling it now that he'll be in the side again next week.

 

You could tell by the look on his face after that goal, he knew it too.

I look forward to your justification. Was it him running himself into the ground whilst maintaining 90% DE that did it for you?

Good for you. But you're wrong.

 

Just now, Clint Bizkit said:

He was very good in the first quarter but to drop the ball like he did in the last is simply inexcusable.

Seems to work pretty well for Dawes and Hogan in getting regular games. 

Every player makes mistakes. We lost that game because we collectively sucked in the last quarter. We failed miserably defensively as we have on many occasion this year. 


Really? You choose to start this thread today? Your "calling it now"? 

Must be a typo and he meant to say Chris Dawes

Well it's a [censored] call

Thought he was decent. Could name at least 10 worse than him

Care to elaborate? I didn't have a chance to see or hear the game so I'd like to know why you think his career might be over. To post as you have is somewhat simplistic. Or, to put it another way, are there any other toys you want to throw out of the cot while you're at it?


Pathetic thread. One fumble trying to take the game on after it is over.

Most reasonable posters on here have been critical in the past, but can see he is serviceable at the very least this season.

Surprised we didn't see a similar thread early in the game for Hogan when he coughed a goal up switching play, or Bernie's handball that led directly to a goal, or OMac's dropped mark early in the game.

Worst thread ever - Calling it now!

Maybe 'Allen' got the wrong player???

There is a certain key forward who surely doesn't have a lot of time left...

Maybe switch "game" for "season", but even then it is hard to gauge.

Until we get more serious pace onto the list there will be a place for M Jones.


I'm a hater-but the Jones boy done ok today.

Nup, he wasn't worst by long way, he might get another game next week although I'd prefer Oliver or Brayshaw

Matt Jones far from our worst. Now if the OP had put 'Chris Dawes' in his thread title he'd have little disagreement...

Thought he was ok but on top of the fumble also had a couple of other costly turnovers that resulted in goals.

not best 22 once younger mids are ready but serviceable depth for mine.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
