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

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
