Nathan Jones Media Conference


Demons1858

Recommended Posts

Feel like the supporters and members are owed an apology of some sort from the club's leaders. Players, coach and lets not forget our 'high' performance sport science team.

Won't make me feel better but seems like we are owed something. I will likely renew my membership before Xmas again for the 26th year in a row but it won't an automatic decision and not with the same enjoyment and optimism.

Is it just me?

I would like answers as well but I honestly believe nothing they say will make me feel the slightest bit better.

Like I stated yesterday, if the club banned " Mad Monday " I might be slightly appeased.

I too think the club should not be silent and am a little surprised that nothing at all seems to be being said at this stage.

I don't think it'll be an 'apology' and, truth be told, nothing they say will please everyone - but some sort of statement needs to be made.

Apparently there is going to be a Nathan Jones press conference at 1.45

What about the rest of them!!!!! Coaches and sport science failed us in the back half also. He better not be stepping down from captaincy. Is one of the few that tries

Why would they even suggest something so stupid.

Clearly going to be an attempt at a sincere heartfelt apology

I am a little over apologies to be honest. We have been [censored] for years and we sure know how to talk as a club and say the right things but can never put it into action. 

An apology would fall on deaf ears as far as I'm concerned, and surely the club knows no one would give a [censored] what they say now, they blew it, again.

That is not an official website - it is someone having a sick joke.

If there was a press conf of any sort the announcement notice of it would come from the club.

Ignore it, someone is trolling.

Maybe Jonesy saw Norm Smith in his dreams last night and he told him that the curse is now over and we can be good again in 2018?

rather than an apology - a more constructive response would be answers surrounding - what happened... and actually detail it (rather than mediaspeak of we will review it) - and what steps from a physiological, psychological, structural and coaching perspective need to be addressed.

Yeah, usually Fox sports is on to these things quickly and nothing mentioned on there.

Agree Luci! Nothing on the website and Slobbo is currently on SEN - no mention.

Only coaching staff can do that after a review which can't happen only 24 hrs after season has finished.....As much we are all [censored] it requires a methodical approach...

Still hurts though

I would say that 'statements' mean nothing.

Actions will mean plenty.

We don't need 10 changes but I would say that anyone not deemed to be a competitor should be sweating.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
