1 wasted season rather than 2

Proactive thinking BB

He should have vacated at the end of 2017

Maybe...but he's still there.... so he can earn his coin as can anyone.

There will be no doubt some players who wont be able to dive straight into our new season....either a bit too green  or proppy or whatever but they'll need either Magoo time to get  matchlegs or development before stepping up. 

Id use Jonesy mainly before the bye and sparingly after.

Not rocket surgery really is it

I'd keep him for depth, he'd only get games if he's banging the door down or we get hit by injuries

Essentially  i agree...but i actually  see next year as a classic year in two halves. 

We'll  have a different  take on our 'style' ..i'm sure. .one way or another. 

You'll have a preseason of some adjusting to game, to training..to us lol

The pretend games will trial a few and try out some of the game.

The first 5 or so games of year proper will hopefully  start to bed in some footy and sort some players.

Chunk...good bad and indifferent  should take most of that in his stride.

H'ed be far from the most influential  player out there but he will give you a kind of meat and 3 veg week in week out. It wont be world shattering  but he'll  play a role..just no Academy  Award stuff.

I really do see him being of more use earlier and lesser later..and that's  why.

If we are doing not so good by round six and his form is not so hot it would be an interesting “what next?” moment for Jones and the coaches.

It would be....probably on past form they'd give him an extension...It's our way eh !!  lol

Well it's obvious! Nurse to 350! To 400 and beyond!

Robbie Flower retired after 278 games in 1987 after kicking 5 goals (including a towering speccy) in the Elimination final and another 4 the following week in the Semi.
Let that sink in.

Its a strange hold he has over the club. Talisman for some and becoming a curse for others. It’s starting to feel like he’s a 103 year old demented uncle in a nursing home who has been burning up the inheritance.

Well he's been stinking up the joint.

No gifted games! I thought we got over this once the Bailey/Neeld days were gone.

If he gets his 300 he has to earn them on merit with solid performances and not because he's been around so long no one dares go against him. The inmates do not run the asylum.

Maybe not the inmates...but definitely  lunatics. MFC  Melbourne 's Football  Challenged ;)

  • 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.
