Nathan Jones' 250th.

It’s a shame this milestone game didn’t fall a week later on a home game, QB, 70,000+

He absolutely deserves the biggest spotlight shone on him for all his efforts over the last 10 years.

 

These are the type of games we have dropped in the past. 250 games for a club champion, 5 wins on the trot and up against a team that's shockingly out of form.

Need to do this for Chunk. Need to take another team to the slaughter. Need to keep boosting that %.

TAKE NO PRISONERS DEMONS!

There can be only one outcome next weekend that will do our skipper justice.

Another 15 goal demolition should suffice.

Some say we should have trade him year ago, he is a gun, if he played at collingwood he would be seen a one of the greats.

He should be rested this week

Despite the recent form of both sides, with us having the 6 day break off the Alice Springs game  and the Dogs having an 8 day break playing their last game in Melbourne, we will have to be at our best to run it out.

I wonder if they will look at fresh legs.

After this game we have 9 days to the Pies.

And he still wouldn’t have played in a final.

Bloody star -    the boys have to get over the line for Chunk in this one.

Demonland has become a bit too self-congratulatory with an overweening sense of bonhomie. Not a controversy to be spotted, unlike the End of Days stuff parlayed about after the cats and bird triple failure when one could variously encounter a call for heads to be put on pikes followed by the spotting of some readying a firing squad.

Nope, a loss this week might bring about some welcome respite from the friendliness and joie de football which is very un-MFC like.

 

 

I joke, I joke.

Agreed. That final Quarter would have been a real slog to play. 

The dogs are not what they were, but they are still quick

The ultimate professional through a 10 year period where we have had so many flaky players and unfulfilled talents, no one deserves some good times more than Jonesy....how many different coaches would he have played under?

Maybe he should be “managed”? ? 

But seriously he more than most (Robbie Flower and Bob Skelton maybe exceptions) deserves to taste success. 

I still remember watching him burn the field at Sandringham earning his promotion.  What a hard nut.

Hopefully that was “the old Melbourne”

The new one I have watched the past five rounds shouldn’t allow such things to occur.

Absolute champion and a lovely bloke.

Well done Chunk!

Yes  I have definitely noticed

He has carried the team on his own back for  12 years

Now we are seeing the real player

Fantastic

 

His connection with Gawny has been lovely to see this year.

On a par with Tulip but precious little sympathy for Bob Skelton.  Given that he was a kiwi.  And a jockey.


Was luck enough to meet him last night at the airport and he seriously a nice bloke, lucky to have him as a leader.

Humble is the word that comes to mind. 

The guy has given everything to the club and through tough times has always left everything out on the field. 

I know lots of Dees fans hate Etihad but no excuses, pack the stadium to show your support for one of the most loyal blokes to ever don the red and blue. 

 

Continues to perform with almost unparralled consistency and would again not be out of place in an All Australian discussion. The bloke is a star and I can’t wait to see him in September. Try winning a contest against someone whose waited as long as he has for the opportunity.

I noticed on the weekend many of our players were bursting from packs, evading tacklers and holding onto the ball until the right option presented itself. Nath Jones used to be the only one who did this. I wonder if its Jones rubbing off on the younger brigade, or a clear direction from the club to have players do it. Whatever the case its impressive. Jones leads through his actions and others learn.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
