Nathan Jones Locked in for 2021

I have thought that Nathan Jones was at the end of his career.

His kicking upfield has dropped. He used to be a good kick under 40 metres, but wavered when trying to get the long pass. This year was not a good year.

When he was moved to the high forward position this year, I thought this should work and, if successful, enable him to get another year.  Due to injuries, this was not proven to be the case.

Now that he has re-signed, I believe that the football department see him as a totem - enhancing esprit de corps, high training standards and, with a more fortunate run of good fitness, some onfield leadership and great highlights.

Good fortune to Mr Jones

    I am sure this has been pointed out already but if Jonesy can hold his spot in the team his 300th game will be the blockbuster Saturday night game in Round 6 against Richmond.  What a night that could be for the club.

    Didnt Melb beat Richmond on Kevin Bartletts 300th? I might be wrong it was a long time ago. Happy for Jones to make it as long as he earns it.  Looks like Hibberd and Melksham wont be gifted games, must apply to Jones too.

    He’s more than holding his own atm. 300 games is a monumental effort and he deserved the contract extension after his loyalty, leadership and efforts. Hats off to him and the club

    #at the time I thought he should of been cut

    Announced the other day they are expecting twins as well. Big few weeks in the Jones household if he holds his spot.

    That would be a monumental night for the history of this grand old club, I can only imagine the scenes if its able to happen in this manner.

    God willing we can pull off a victory for the heart and soul of our club.

    I have the perfect ending in my dreams for Jonesy.???

    Richmond beat the Dogs on KB’s 300th by 73 points in 1979, at the MCG.

    What happened in his 400th?

    Might have been his 400th siam.

    Lost to the Pies by 7 pints at the MCG in front of 82,000 in 1983.

    Could he be thinking of the Hafey death game back in 2014 when we upset them?

    If you trawl through the stats he is about mid-rank among our best 22 at the moment, with some better and some below average.  That roughly matches the impression I've had from the games, too.  Would be silly to say he is starring but he has been a solid contributor in a team which very much needed solid contributors to fill our a somewhat brittle game-day sheet.

    Touch wood, tap that shiny nogg'n, and may 2021 continue to be a proudly workmanlike season from the veteran.

    And whatever else happens he'll always be better looking that his brother.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
