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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.
