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.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
