Jones has never been the enforcer type. That would be in AVDB’s portfolio. I would rather see him in the finals doing the protection.

Lest We Forget - AvB is our best 'unfortunate accident' son. 

The fact that he's an emergency this week means this thread is very premature

 

Still think Chunk has a part to play, think he’s ahead of Chandler, Melksham on current form & on par with Sparrow 

Hopefully gets a couple of games before finals to put his case forward

Jones doesn't play Spargo's style of game. He's not quick enough nor is he a good enough kick inside 50 to replace him.

I don't think Jones would replace Spargo in his overall role however I do think he's quite good with ball in hand inside 50. Either hitting targets or scoring.


5 more games on the G before finals, warm up Jones for finals by Medi Subbing the first couple then get him to start the last 3 G games. 

Get Chunk off ice and get around him.

If you could name for GF only multiple subs I’d definitely have him as one but the medical subs can be activated in the final 5min of the last quarter or 20sec into the match. He has to earn the right to be in the position with his form. He has been thereabouts all year being named as sub a couple of times and being in the emergencies a number of times so IF we get into that position he would be a big chance.

Would it be such a risk if his form in the twos was good? He is not completely hopeless you know. Just saying.

Absolutely right. Probably a greater risk is that a younger player would be less able to handle the occasion

 

Jones is done.
And if he's getting a game we are done.
Too old, too slow.
And all this BS about subbing him on for the last few mins of the GF.
Pretty sure even he'd find that insulting.
There's a hell of a alot of water to pass under the bridge yet before we're thinking of any bloody GFs anyway.
Let's just concentrate on getting over Essendon this week.

VDB is sensational at countermeasures, but his lack of foot speed has him finished for mine with thanks and appreciation. 

Demonland myth number 27. VDB is not slow and is actually one of the quickest on the list!

Was never quick & after his leg/foot injuries slowed him down more.

Definitely one of the slowest on our list.

Wouldn't be surprised if he is our medical sub tomorrow.

If we s**t the bed against Essendon, I wouldn't be against him coming back to provide a bit of leadership. I get the feeling that this will come back in spades with Viney back, but would be a contingency plan if things go pear shaped tomorrow.

He is a champion of our club ,301 games ,he deserves to play in our finals endeavor and i bet every player on the list would want that.From the boot studder to the pres would want it to happen.a lot on here have bad memories as to just how good he has been for this club.Sure he has slowed up a bit but brains will often beat younger players.I bet  he wants a crack at it and if gets back into 22 he will give it a real go.Thats what builds culture at a footy club.great example  to the young players what you can achieve if you really want it.GO NAT

Gifting somebody a game in a Grand Final when you haven't won one in 60 years is unbelievably high risk, but I'd be into the idea of him presenting the cup. Bit weird to have a serving player do it but far more relevance to this era than Barassi, Lyon and even Neitz. 

I've wondered whether Jones might get that role myself, if we are in that position.

If not imho it would be Barassi or Neitz. I can't see it being Lyon but he will MC the celebrations the following day.

He has the media chops and track record of service to the club, but have we totally forgiven him for the hullabaloo post 186?

In case you're being sarcastic, Gary gave us Neeld.

I reckon Russell Robertson might get that gig.

why

why

Because of his current connection with MFC carrying out the roles of on-ground announcer and host/mc at club functions.

My thoughts on the matter are exemplified by some of Stock Aitken Waterman's finest

post script: Iv'e been waiting months to drop this little gag in.

To make it the greatest tribute to Chunk, there really should be some demonic  imagery thrown in to boot.

Could we dub the audio over this filmclip?

After all, if Beavis and Butthead suggest that your offspring (to be fathered by Gwar of course) would be the coolest people that ever lived, you must be doing something right.

I think he is a perfect medical sub for a GF for a few reasons. He is actually more versatile than he has been given credit for. He could release a mid to play wing or half back flanker if needed and be a serviceable extractor in the guts. He could play back flank and just compete in a finals type way. He can go forward and take a good contested grab and kick goals. One thing you know, he will put his head over the ball in the heat of battle. Every. Damn. Time! That’s what is needed on Grand Final day. I’d rather him coming on as sub than Chandler or Melksham.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
