Jonesy moving into media street this season with gigs on SEN and channel 7, according to the little paper.

 

SEN is set to unveil former Melbourne captain Nathan Jones as its big-name recruit.

Jones, who has dabbled in radio previously with RSN, will be the main voice of Friday night football for SEN.

He is also set to feature in the commentary box for Channel 7 at various times throughout the season.

Jones will balance his media commitments with a new career in property development.

A much-loved figure at the Demons, the 34-year-old was the hard luck story of Melbourne’s premiership win.

He didn’t feature in the senior line-up after round 15 and missed the Grand Final after leaving Perth to be at the birth of his twins.

Jones, who was captain of Melbourne from 2014 to 2019, won three consecutive best and fairests (2012-2014) and became just the second Demon to play over 300 games.

He announced his retirement after 302 games in the lead-up to last year’s grand final.

There will be some tweaks in SEN’s football coverage with AFLW star Daisy Pearce and Hawthorn premiership star Jordan Lewis set to scale back their radio commitments.

 

Speaking of Jordan Lewis does anyone know if he's still doing part time work with us?

I heard Nathan provide special comments in AFLW vs North a few weeks back. I thought he was quite good, so I'll be interested to hear him comment on the mens game, especially with Melbourne not involved, as he did frame a lot in terms of the WDees in my one time hearing him.

 

Nathan Jones is very articulate and has excellent insights of football!

Watch with his interest as his Media Career blossoms!!

I don't think he has this season Dazzle. i think he was really just a part timer last year, but moved on now


The irony of this is that Nate was considered a 'lead by actions, not words' type captain. I never considered him a natural talker (he has a high pitched voice) but a footballer who was as honest as the day is long. Shows how much I know as someone saw potential there! 

I look forward to seeing what he has to offer on SEN. 15 years of experience and being fresh out of the game will provide excellent insight. Hopefully he can maintain that!

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
