FAREWELL MATT JONES

Featured Replies

Posted

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"?

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.

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.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
