The tough club leader returned from neck surgery at the end of last season to play in every game this year and record a career high 617 disposals. He has been rock steady for over a decade and with the club poised for bigger and better things, some finals success over the coming seasons will be a most deserving way to cap off a great career for one of the club's most loyal sons.

IMO has become the clubs best midfielder and arguably player in the last 20 years.

Agree AAC

Many people won't agree as they won't realise he played out of position all year for team balance. While he is not C Judd his contribution this year was excellent IMO.

received the 2nd most Brownlow votes for the club, and finished 2nd in the B&F (My memory is a little hazy this morning haha). Excellent contribution from the captain.

I hope he continues to drive the standards and bring on a bigger and better 2017

 

PS: had a giggle at myself as the summary of his year is in the op

Jones has been nothing short of sensational the past few seasons. He could walk away from the game now and still go down as a club great. He might join the 300 game club if he can stay fit and we can play a few years of finals. What a champion!

Only if the price was right.  We do have several like him.

Nate has once again proven himself as a courageous, reliable though not flashy leader of the club.

Well done....looking forward to 2017.

A tireless worker. Not always the most adroit  but never gives up.   Seldom has colours lowered.

Hopefully the success he's dedicated himself to comes his/our way.

I thought he had a pretty good year, but not a great one. You could never question his effort, but there is no way he should have finished ahead of Gawn in the B&F.

Hopefully he spends the summer working on taking a quick kick forward as a first option, rather than handballing backwards and sideways to a player in a worse position. He is a much better field kick than he gets credit for, and his forwards will appreciate him more for doing so.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
