I think mature players like Jones are perfect for the sub. Experience to play where required, can play a full game if needed or a burst when some pace has gone from the ground. Can provide support from the bench and doesn't stiffle development like having a younger player on only limited or no game time. If he was sub a few weeks in a row it wouldn't have a severe impact on his residual fitness and less soreness slowing him down.

I like.  The recovery / rest and maybe half a game makes complete rest.  Experience galore as well and knows how to carry out almost any role required.  As you say he'll come on fresh and can go all out in a shortened game (for him) if he does get subbed.

Jeez I hope Ben Brown shuts Dunstall up. 

Dunstall didn't complain when Hawthorn brought in their 3rd tall.
I like Dunstall but he has absolutely no respect for Melbourne whatsoever, and sticks the boots in at every opportunity.

There are plenty out there in the media who would be very happy for Melbourne to sit at the bottom of the ladder forever. Well I've got news for them.

    Seriously what is Dunstall going on about. I've plenty of time for him as an analyst but he's talking nonsense just now. As if you're not going to bring in Ben Brown when he's fit and ready to play

     

    Reasonable test, not convinced on the 10 goal line. Just need to go in and get it done today

    Really? Where? 

    If we knew midweek why didn’t we keep Sparrow free? Surely he’s more deserving of a seniors spot than Baker? If not Sparrow then Chandler?

    We’ve tried hard all year to keep players in similar roles. If our plan is to move Brayshaw or Melksham into Viney’s role, I’m surprised. Sparrow fills Viney’a spot well IMO. 

    Meanwhile the MFCSS is settling in well right now...

    Just out of interest, statistically Jones & Sparrow are pretty much level pegging this season.  Obviously a few more years ahead of Sparrow though.

     

    Kozzie was held off the ball then...

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
