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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
