    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.

    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.

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
