Nathan and Jerri had their twins on Sunday. Jonesy just made it back on time for the birth.

Sounds like it was the right call and hopefully he gets to sit back and watch a Melbourne flag with his family next Saturday, knowing how instrumental he has been to this club from the day he step foot in the door. 

We would not be where we are today without him. He was driving standards long before anyone else. 

Wishing him and his family only the best!

Congrats Nathan and Jerri on adding to the Jones and MFC families.

Wish you happiness and health for the whole family and a Premiership in 11 days.

 

Awesome he made it back for the birth. Congratulations Nathan on growing your beautiful family. Hopefully Mum and newborns are in good health.

So glad he made it back to be with his family. Would’ve sucked big time if he’d waited a few more days and missed both the birth and playing in the grand final!

Congrats Nath and Jerri. Amazing stuff.

Get the feeling though that Jerri isn't particularly warm towards the footy club.

Don’t really get that feeling from that, but she’d have every right to feel unhappy with the club given how Nathan’s career ended there after all he put up with.

Congrats to the Jones’!

 

Congratulations to the Jones’. Must’ve been an incredibly hard time for both Nathan and Jerri recently. Just goes to show how resilient they both are. If you want a role model for perseverance and resilience, look no further than these two. 

Wow, Jerri with a week in hospital going through hell still finds some room for empathy for Jonsey. What a legend. 

the demons ALFW team should be stacked in 20 years


I don't want to sound rude, but am I the only one who can't tell if they are both girls? I'm assuming Dove is a girl, but Odie???

odie is a male dog in the garfield show

What a great way to get over any disappointment, it’s such a beautiful time in your life.

Odie is traditionally a male name.

I think she’s disappointed for him, and rightly so. She knows better than anyone the hell he went through with the club. She knows all the clubs he knocked back over the years, all the heartache and humiliation. I’m sure it was her dream to watch him win a flag, as much as it was his. They’ve been together since high school and she is as much a part of his career as anyone.

I would feel exactly the same in her situation and it absolutely sucks that Covid has meant Jonesy had to make these sacrifices. But I’m sure he leaves with no regrets and knowing he left no stone unturned. 
The club I am sure will make him feel part of the success if we win next week, and I have no doubt if Max gets up on the stage to give a victory speech that Jonesy will get a very big shout out. As I said before, he is as much a part of this success as anyone.

Sounds like he made the perfect decision.

I don't know whether to read Jerri's post as her own view on the fact that Nathan isn't in the team, or an expression of Nathan's true feelings, or just a (kinda) poorly worded expression of the turbulent times they've both been through with him being in Perth in quarantine and then only just making back whilst she was in hospital. But it should be no surprise to anyone that Nathan would be disappointed to not be playing in the Grand Final.

Best if she just kept her comments to the joyous occasion.

She can comment however she feels like, she’s been with Nathan the entire ride. She has seen all of the downs and recent ups.

I was the same when I saw the names , don't think if seen it mentioned twin girls or boy and girl. Emergency C section can be serious , so glad he made it he would have not been there mentally if he wasn't and still with the group. Worked out for the best hopefully just part of the story we are all hoping for

Exact feeling I got.

Agree.

I see it more as a statement of fact than a backhanded chip at the club.

From someone really hoping Jonesy could still be in GF calculations, I think the club did pretty much all it could by him this season given where we are at.  What really cost him was getting injured again just as his form was comming good, that and that the GF is being played in Perth, not the MCG and thus he couldn't do both the birth and potentially still keep a glimmer of hope as being named even the sub.  With what it sounds like Jerri was going through, and what Max has said, it sounds like Nathan would have made the decision to come back home regardless of the potential of being named in the side or not.

Why is everybody assuming Jones is retiring?

Highly likely he won't get a contract at Melbourne but its possible he may play on...

 

Can't find the words for it but Nathan Jones... he is 'us'. It is almost fitting that on Grand Final day he will be 'with' the supporters. He's one of us now.

And you know it is peak MFCSS when people are investing effort looking for negative connotations between the lines of an instagram post of someone who just gave birth to twins by emergency C-section!

Grand Final can't come soon enough and I look forward to watching and celebrating in much the same way as Jones will be.

Well, except I hope I won't be needing to change any nappies mid-game. We'll see how close it gets.

Congratulations to the Jones family. Welcoming twins into the world must be amazing.

Jonesy will be remembered for the 300+ games he played during some very grim times. Missing out on a granny will not define him at all. His place was with his wife at this time not with the team, whether selected in the side or not

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
