What an amazing effort from an an amazing servant of the club.  This guy bleeds red and blue. He carried the team on his shoulders for so many years during some dark times.  As loyal as the

The way some MFC supporters have turned on N.Jones is a 'F'ing disgrace.  Have a look at what Kossie has tattooed to one of his arms.

Jonesy carried the team for so many games in his career, even if he's a bit off the pace, he has earnt the right to be carried through a few by his mates.

For what its worth, I think Jonesy is still contributing significantly to the team's performance.  Often distributes the ball well into clear space in our attacking goal scoring chains and still stands up strong when it counts.  I recall a key moment against the Saints earlier ths season, when the game was in the ballance, with St Kilda attacking and threatening to get off the chain a bit and Jonesy stood his ground, put on a big tackle/ripped the ball away from them as if he was saying "you're not getting through me".

 

Congratulations Jonesy on an awsome 300 games.

 

GO  JONESY and GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!

 

Tear the tigers a new one at the MCG on Saturday in front of the Melbourne faithful and the eyes of the AFL world.

How good would it be if he kicks our first goal tongiht or just kicks a goal and we win. The crowd will go nuts. 

But well done Nathan, you deserve it after all the crap you have had to go through. You have believed the group would get better and saw something that us supporters couldn't. 

A win would be great.

I'm delighted Jonesy experienced an epic win like that on his milestone. Too often these occasions can fall flat (see st kilda v us in the Spud Frawley game).

I won't lie, I was nervous about him playing against the Tiges but he held his own. Will struggle to stay in the team over the medium term but on last nights evidence i think he warrants his spot against the Roos next week.

I'm just so happy for him and his family. His 2 kids would have been so proud last night to run out with there dad then see him get chaired off. 

Nice they got Neita to present his jumper.

So glad he got there and his experience still helps us in the side. 

He will be very happy this morning.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
