Congrats and well deserved. A loyal servant of the club and in past one of our best players.

 

Congratulations, supremely loyal and dedicated to the red and blue.

Hopefully he becomes a part of the 300 game club this year as well.

Assuming he plays every game, it would be V's GC Suns in round 15, Sat arvo at the G.

And another 6 games after that he will equal the big fellas record of 306

 

Hopefully we can do him proud in his last few years. If any bloke deserves it, it’s Nate.

Peter Jackson gets life membership as well. Personally, I'd have given him Prime Ministership of Australia as well.

A terrific individual honour for a bloke that hasn't had much to celebrate from a team perspective throughout his career.

That said, a big part of me can't help but think that if he does crack the 300 games, it has more to do with other guys not taking the next step in their development.  Jones' form in 2019 was embarrassing at times, and his pace was a liability.  With a clean injury list (if there were such a thing), he's not in my starting 22, and is dropping down the depth list as well.

Yeah, but incompetentce is basically a prerequisite for that job, so he wouldn't even get a look in.

Congrats Jonesy boy, deserve all that comes your way.

Fantastic Achievement.

Jonesy deserves this.

Very well deserved, onya Jonesy!


Nathan Jones the heart of the club where loyalty is his strength. You couldn't ask for any better from a real Melbourne man. 

Congratulations on becoming an AFL life Member and more so hopefully a 300 gamer with the MFC.

Congratulations Nathan - despite great odds over many long seasons of football, you largely held out Club together with your tireless efforts and intents. A footballing sunset is a difficult time at the individual level but we all remember holding our heads high on so many occasions due to your endeavour. A just and rare reward for a MFC player. 

Well done with AFL life membership, not sure about his future career after the last 2 Seasons and with a healthy list pre season 2020  I can’t see him in the best 22, pace is a issue and seems lost from his mid in and under, has failed in set positions, fwd line position he would find it hard to play defensive, team injury’s might allow him to get to 300 games

Our modern day Robbie Flower!

Stayed loyal to the club when there was no reason to do so and coincidently wore the same number 2.

Everyone compares with Robbie, but not well. One can compare a Bugatti Veyron with a Skoda Fabia.

compare
verb
  1. 1.
    estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between.
     
    GRAMMAR
  2. form the comparative and superlative degrees of (an adjective or an adverb).
     
    noun
    LITERARY
  1. of a quality or nature surpassing all others of the same kind.

A plus for loyalty.

A grade player.

Be great to see him get to 300 and play finals in 2020.

Will be able to provide value off the bench this season, and would love to see him chase opposition players, as a leader been my greatest frustration with him, a pity when he has done so many things exceptionally well!

 

 

The strength of our support for Jones at this late stage in his career is a measure (never a comparison) of our respect for him on so many levels across recent MFC history. Surely?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
