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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
