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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
