If Jones cares about the club he'd step down and concentrate on his game. Not sure he will - he might need a tap on the shoulder. He can't be captain in 2020.

 

Agree, however doubt he will. He wouldn’t even sign for 260K. Then comes out to the media to talk about how he considered leaving the Dees...

Edited by olisik

I don't think Jones is that proud, stupid or arrogant to know he won't be captain next year. 

Making a big song and dance about him giving it up only creates a negative news story. 

They can have that story in November when they are back in training, or when it comes to appoint the next captain or captains they can do it then. Gawn, Viney and anyone else who wants to be captain can come out and earn it as well.

 

Jeebus, it’s not a race.

And I suggest if we’re looking for role-models for how to run a club, Adelaide should be close to last on that list.

 

 

Jesus there have been some rippers on Nathan Jones lately, just a few point out a couple:

- Shouldn't be on a family holidays, instead at home curled up watching every minute of every finals.

- Deserves to take a pay cut because he is selfish

- Needs to be delisted

- Needs to retire

-  Shouldn't be captain of the club because he doesn't even care..

Only at Melbourne do we absolutely tear strips of a club champion and heart and soul player ?‍♂️

That comment you made would be more of an insult to Nathan Jones if anything.

Fancy questioning one of our most loyal player we've ever had on whether he actually cares about this footy club!

Good [censored] grief..

Maybe not only the club needs to improve its culture, some supporters could do with culture improvement as well.

As a paying member I find this offensive. Culture on field will bring culture off field.

I guess we can only rip in to Jones on the match day threads hey dazzle?

Pot, Kettle

 

Surely with all the dumb things the club has done in the past and by going backwards this year. Goodwin would not consider Jones and possibly Viney.

Welcome to demonland mate.

Giving up the Captaincy should have been part of his new contract. Let him give it away with dignity.

Oh absolutely I have said some things in the heat of the moment. Who hasn't? I am also the first to put my hand up 24 hours later and admit that some of the stuff I say was uncalled for. 

If you want my honest opinion on Jones, I think off his own bat he will relinquish the captaincy once he gets back to Melbourne. I think with a full side next year cherry ripe he will probably get to 300 game mark then slowly eased out in the same way as Bernie Vince. I also think Viney should join him and give up the captaincy and focus on getting his body right.

 

Please do not compare Nathan Jones with that 'Tex' Walker dufus. Announcing the Captain/s will come in due time. The dust hasn't settled on this year yet.

Regardless of how you feel about him as a player or captain there is no need to denigrate him, sure you can criticise him for a bad game but for some posters to suggest he is selfish or doesn't care about the club is just way over the top. 

 

Jones stepping down from captain cannot come soon enough. He has been a momentum killer for near a decade. I have been very critical of his style of play and leadership since the Neeld days. Appears to play a very self satisfied game that does not care if we win or lose just as long as he gets his 20 odd possessions and a goal or two. 

Yeah let's follow Adelaide's terrific example of leadership

Maybe listen to commentary of the Prelim loss to WC while blind-folded on a bus too?

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
