Nathan Jones joins SEN for 2022

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.

    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!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
