He was easily our worst on Saturday just jogged around as far as I could see. But according to some on here he was playing a specific role for the coach!ย ย But I agree if he wants more and plays well why not?

Pretty much all who have mentioned last week have acknowledged that he was ordinary last week and no-one has mentioned doing a coaches role in that game so donโ€™t be a Kent and make things up

The latest Gus and Gawny podcast is well worth a watch where their featured guest is Nathan Jones. Nathan has been interviewed a few times this week, but to me, this interview is by far the best of them all. And Gawny's comments about Nathan towards the end perfectly sum up the players respect, admiration and love they have for him. Congratulations and much thanks to Nathan.

Iโ€™ve had a think about Jonesyโ€™s career and youโ€™d be hard pressed to find another player out there that has faced as much club adversity than him. Heโ€™s had more coaches than Iโ€™ve had jobs, he witness the club twice go down on their knees and be on the brink, the whole tanking saga which almost destroyed us, andย heโ€™s had to deal the tragedies ofย Jimmy Stynesย and his former coachย Dean Bailey passing away.ย 

He deserves everything thatโ€™s coming to him and he deserves that fans forgetting his current form and just applauding him for everything he had done.ย

What an amazing effort from an an amazing servant of the club.ย 

This guy bleeds red and blue. He carried the team on his shoulders for so many years during some dark times.ย 

As loyal as the come. Congratulations Nathan Jones.ย

I can tell you write now, without a shadow of a doubt.

This man was the sole reason I came to the football in 2012-14ย and why I never threw in the towel as a supporter.

For me his greatest captains game was in Geelong in 2015. 30 & 2/3 goals.

Couldn't love the man anymore. if form warrants and we get to the big dance, I would love to see him holding the cup!

I find it disgraceful that we are the oldest club yet have only produced 2 300 gamers. I mean Adelaide and the dogs have produced a few and we are so much older.ย

Some is plural, are you referring to another thread? As Polly hasnโ€™t posted in this one

Congratulations Chunk on reaching 300 games hope you have a beauty and more importantly a win.


Other players will no doubt get to 300 but I doubt one will be as meaningful to the supporters as this one. He was the one shining light and face of the club for so many years. It feels like heโ€™s been on the journey with us. It feels like โ€œweโ€ are playing game 300.ย 

Iโ€™m so glad heโ€™s made it to 300 and Iโ€™m glad it will be played in front of a huge crowd, when weโ€™re going well. He deserves it. Go Chunk.

Fun Fact!

If Nathan Jones forms warrants it and he doesn't get injured or rested.

He will go past David Neitz 306 and play his 307th on Queens B'day (with hopefully the Pies in a mess!)

Imagine a 10+ goal win for Jones becoming the games record holder on QB!!

I'm cautious ofย canning Jones. Goodwin said Jones is playing a very specific role - we don't know what that is.ย  Itย might be: try to get inboard, 20m defensive side of every stoppage, opposition mark and free kick and prevent the corridor outlet and soย force them either to go down the line or kick over your head to a waiting Lever.ย  In that case, if he does his job properly,ย  he won't be getting much of it and he may not even be laying tacklesย if they don't take him on.ย  I'm making that role up but in modern football structures it could easily be something like that and we have no insight.ย  We're winning and maybe we're preventing the opposition from taking advantage of the new rule with our positioning.ย  I think we'll find out a lot this week.

I'm too much of a ball watcher at matches to see this type of strategy and I suspect 99% of fans are too.ย  It take great discipline to consistently watch players off the ball, sometimes I try to but I findย find my eyes magnet back to the contest eventually, and you can't see structures like that on the zoomed in replay.

I'll give you the hot tip - the more you think you know what's going on out there the less you actually do ...

too hot for me Polly


Great player for the club and from his On The Couch and Gawn & Gus appearances - he knows this is the end and he is fighting for games and I hope he has a moment on Sat Night.ย 

I predict he will be pushed out of the team inside of a month but I am so happy that he kept going and that we treated him the way that the greats should be treated.

Has anyone got an explanation for why this is the case? Culture? Lack of success? Dumb chance? Opportunities outside football for Melbourne players luring them away earlier in life?

Actually the coach said it specifically in the post match presser last week, so its straight from the horses mouth, champย

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
