Congratulations to Nathan Jones on the accomplishment of becoming the equal second games record holder at the MFC today against the GC.  Somewhat fitting that he shares jumper No.2 with the late Robert Flower, as although they are somewhat different styles, they will go down as great captains and players for the MFC that loyally stuck with the club through some hard times for the team.

I actually wounder if playing this match with Jonesy was something which factored in Jack Viney declaring himself fit?

Anyway go forth and get the job done for the skipper today lads.

Great captain

Great clubman

Great player

Well done Jonesy 

 

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS 

 

Well said.

Was chased by other teams during his career and knocked them all back to stay with us during one of the least successful periods any club has ever had. His love for the Demons is unquestionable.

Quite simply, will retire a legend of the club.

Congratulations skipper. Hope you have a game worthy of your time at the Dees.

 

 

As the oldest and first real dynasty club we have a rather comparatively poor record when it comes to long-time club servants, with just the one 300-gamer. Nat's relative achievements are as great or better than anyone in the past fifty years, but without any real outstanding brilliance I'm afraid his legacy will be dented by serving for the majority throughout our darkest recent years, such as other top two-dozen club stalwarts J. McDonald, Brad Green and Bruce Cameron from the same era. Even Davies - who displayed brilliance - has been largely forgotten. Well done Nathan, and good luck on the weekend.

Whilst it's clear that he is no longer at the peak of his game performance wise, I think Jonesy is still making an important contribution in games.  He was one of the key instigators that dragged us back into the game against Sydney and I felt he was also one of our good players against Hawthorn last week.  One thing is for sure is that he never gives up trying.  It's almost like the worse the team plays, the more he lifts at times.

That goal against Geelong in the final last year was a great moment and I'm hoping there is still one or two moments for him to top that before his playing days are over.  Love Jonesy being a part of the teams success after so many years of squander.  Robby never quite made it to that illusive grand final, but maybe, just maybe the story could play out differently for the MFC this time for once?

Nathan Jones is a MFC legend.  Chunk has grown into a leader.  Tough.  Determined.  Loyal.    

He will be remembered by all of us.  

Will he get to 300.  Perhaps?

Well said Balls & Norm.  All of that AND the ultimate professional.  Love watching his reaction after kicking a goal.  Has dragged me to many a game when i've been on the fence during tough times. Go the Jones boy!  ?

 N Jones  love the Guy. Stuck it out in the dark days  and we  had someone to lead  us through possibly the worst of our era,                           Loyal till the end   he really is a  legend.  


Well done Nathan - a Demon through and through.

Struggling today

Good last quarter.  Should get another year for mine.  Just don't play him on the wing on a big ground opposite a snail.  Like Frost, has been unfairly dragged down by his comparable pairing.

 

Congrats Nathan pulling equal with the late Great Robbie Flower... RIP.

Celebrate with a win.

 

And eyes to Perth,  guys.

Go and get your legs in the Surf up there, quick.

Are they flying back tonight ?...    I hope they stay up there until tomorrow evening...  giving them a chance to get many beach-water walks in.

Edited by DV8


Plenty of post-Dawn salt water treatment on their legs in Port Phillip Bay...  I hope this week.

I missed the first quarter but what I saw he would have been in our best few players. His decisiong making and ability to kick to the right spots stood out in such a scrappy match. 

Thought his last quarter was as good as he has played this year,   Well deserved win and a great day


Given the list balance experience wise I think chunk plays on next year. I imagine Jeffy and Lewis are going at years end, leaving a bit of a gap experience wise.

Playing 300 in modern footy is quite a feat. If chunk does it we might have to wait a very long time to see it happen again. 

If anyone cares to reflect on Jones' loyalty in tough times, consider this -

Robert Flower: 272 Games, 88 wins, no draws, 184 losses

Nathan Jones: 272 Games, 86 wins, 3 draws, 183 losses.

 

Another side note, since his debut he has missed a total of 11 games.

 

 

Been a warrior and absolutely showed true leadership in our darkest hours.

Thank you Jonesy,  Dees legend

Has been a great warrior for the MFC.

But sad to see those stats: Nothing has changed.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
