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?

  • 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.

    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.
