Will be interesting to see what happens next year. With the supposed decrease in playing lists, do you keep a 32-33 yr old Jones over a young bloke? I'm not so sure

    From broken to smelling the roses. Awesome, I hope he makes it to the games record for us and hope above all hope gets to lift the premiership cup before he’s done.

    I’m saying that, do you keep a proven 300 gamer over. Young kid who may not even get a game?

    I reckon on field experience will be even more important with reductions in coaching ranks. With reductions in runners, there is a reason why teams like West Coast, Collingwood and Richmond win games and how Geelong and Hawthorn have been able to keep in touch of finals despite ageing lists.

    I reckon post 2021 we might see the draft age increase to help in reducing list sizes through natural attrition. In my opinion this is the ideal time to increase draft age.

    If he can bring his JLT form playing as a half forward against Adelaide to the season, I still think he has a lot to offer.

    Really looking forward to what a revitalized Nathan Jones could do this year and beyond.  With players like Trac now looking like they are ready to step up and help carry the midfeild, along with an unhindered Jack Viney, Jones having more of a free reign in the forward line, with perhaps the occational injection into the midfeild could really help our team ballance.  Jones could also help add that hard physical presence into our forward line in much the same way as AVB.

    I definitely think Nathan Jones can play another 2 or 3 seasons. Definitely this shortened season and next season.

     

    It will be wonderful if Nathan Jones can break the most amount of games played for the MFC which is currently held by David Neitz with 306 games.

     

    Nathan Jones could be very handy playing on the Half-Forward Flank and occasionally thrown back into the midfield. He certainly needs to focus on his delivery inside 50 and goal kicking this year when season 2020 re-starts.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
