Nathan Jones' 250th.

Neitz the Great
in Melbourne Demons

Amazing reading through the comments on Facebook and other forums. Nathan Jones is universally respected by the AFL community.

Its extremely rare that AFL fans agree on anything.

    What a great day for the club and the Jones boy!

    Congrats to our Cap on an amazing 250 games of consistent never say die footy.

    The boys did him proud.

    Onya Jonesy. 

    Loved all the tributes this week. Will go down as a great of the club. And the only thing worth holding our heads up about in the dark days.

    Congrats to Jonesy on a marvellous career. I fully believe he can be around for the 6 or 7 years he thinks he can be.

    It's crazy to think that Jordan Lewis of all people is very likely to be the games record holder at the Melbourne Football Club ahead of David Neitz before long. He's got 14 games to go to reach that mark. Full credit to him. He won't have his Hawthorn fans at the game to recognise 300 and 307 but they are still going to be legitimate accomplishments (if and when they come).

    I hope all Melbourne supporters get out to acknowledge it (but secretly I hope Jonesy's still around long after to claim back the record for the stalwart Dees).

    I will celebrate his 300th as a great of the game but the 307th is meaningless. It’s about how many times you front up in the red and blue.

    Same with me.

    I imagine there will be few that will ever reach 300 again after this last of the pre-sport science days crop goes, so Jones may well end up the forever-longest-serving Dees player when (and it's been more when than if in my mind for a few years now) he reaches that 307 mark.

    Some great words from Jack Viney and Nathan Jones on social media today.

    It's been pretty s..t being a demons supporter over the past decade but we get to walk away from all the lousy defeats every weekend.

    This bloke has had to front up every Monday and every pre-season and lead the club. 

    Great to see him finally enjoying his footy.

    Lewis is on 29 so has 278 to go, Jones only has 57 to go. I have a sneaking suspicion Jonesy might get there first.

    It would be fantastic if Lewis gets there,  as it means that he is contributing well and the team is getting those benefits. 

    It would be rather challenging for him to make it to 100 club games.

    Nathan Jones record will stand along very nicely with David Neitz, Melbourne and AFL Hall of Famer.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
