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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
