So is anyone going to watch Nathan run around on the 9th? I am hoping he has a bit of fun.

Have been watching a lot of interviews and loving the honesty he brings.

Great to see Nathan Jones playing footy still. Especially for a Demons team!

 

Portarlington will need a few Nathan Jones Im afraid. They currently sit last on the ladder with zero wins and a percentage of just 16%.

That's the whole point of it all, all the past players are going to clubs that are 'struggling'. 

From over here I don't understand what this is all about and how it works. Could someone explain it to me?  I would appreciate your help.

From the little I know it  sounds like a great connection between elite players and the grassroots game. As someone who played suburban football many years ago the idea of playing with or against a player like Nathan Jones would be amazing.

Carlton Draught run something called the Carlton Draft wherein a bunch of recently retired players get drafted for 1 game to struggling country/regional teams (who have nominated for the chance to get the opportunity).

So a feel good story for the small club and they can get some press and some good canteen takings etc.  Also basically an extended advertisement for Carlton Draught - Additionally who doesn't like wordplay.

This year it was as follows;

Alex Rance: May 14 at Campbells Creek
Eddie Betts: May 22 at Branxholme Wallacedale
Dale Thomas: June 4 at Nhill Tigers
Shaun Burgoyne: June 11 at Dalyston
Jarryd Roughead: June 18 at Gormandale
Nathan Jones: July 9 at Portarlington
Brendon Goddard: July 9 at North Wangaratta
Cam Mooney: July 23 at Longwood

This generated a massive amount of interest in the area and the game attracted a whopping crowd, which was a much needed financial boost for the struggling Saints and a huge thrill for his temporary team mates.

Eddie did his bit by booting six goals, albeit in a losing team.  He then stuck around to sign autographs, chat with fans and have a beer with the locals.

It's an excellent initiative and I hope Portlarlington gains many positives from Chunk's appearance.

Daisy helped Nhill to their first win in three years.  I suspect they had a large night at the club!

Sidebar:  The motel in Nhill is called The Zero Inn.  I'm not kidding.

Thank you for the explanation. Sounds a really good idea.

Hey everyone, 

Pretty sure Nathan Jones is playing for the Portarlington demons today for the Carlton draft. If anyone is going to watch or has any information feel free to share as I'd like to know how he goes

Well, what a day it was. Jones kicked Ports first goal and the first goal of the match. The crowd went nuts!!! He played very well and geez he’s strong in a tackle. Finished with 2 goals and a stack of possessions. 

Id say they only got him to ground 2 or 3 times in a tackle all day.

The crowd was huge and although Port trailed all day and ended up losing by 74pts they were really into the game. Ports average losing margin would be around 180pts or more this year and earlier in the season they lost to Ocean Grove by about 150pts so this was a really good effort by them. It would have been incredible to be out there playing. It was like a league finals atmosphere.

Id say this whole Carlton Draft promotion has achieved exactly what it set out to do for local footy and who ever thought it up and made it all happen needs to be congratulated.

Geez, I wish we could have another game next Saturday!!!

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
