Change 'will' to 'is' and you're spot on.

"I just wanted to play my role [against Port Adelaide] and I couldn't get really near it in the first few quarters, but I just kept trying to smash in and eventually I found my way in the end. So I played okay, but I can improve and the whole side can improve."

Great quote that, and his chase, smother and pick-up yesterday was just as great.

What a kid! :wub:

Yes a huge fan - I think he could be something we have really lacked till now - a tough on baller and would be very exciting to watch Brock McLean, Maloney, McDonald along with Jones in the middle.

THEN it releases the Johnstones and Yzes who don't get the ball as easily but can deliver (usually when things are going well)

My favourite young player and hope this is a start of a long career for Nathan Jones. Tough as nails.

Yep, add me to the Nathan Jones fan club......

He sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders, and is certainly a pleasure to watch.

And with comments and an attitude like that he is definitely a leader of the future :D !!!

Nathan Jones is a star. Quickly becoming my favorite player! For someone so young with less than 20 games under his belt, he is already so important to us, and is having an impact. I like that he is constantly smashing his way in and working his ass off no matter what the circumstance. Short career thus far, but whenever Melbourne are in trouble, he seems to lift. In many games already he has been a spark for us. I really think he is going to be a great leader at the club for the next 10+ years, and have a fantastic football career.

The thought of him, Mclean, Moloney, Petterd, Bell, Batram, Bate, Sylvia, Dunn all up and firing...pretty exciting. All these kids have got real grunt and desire, so much so that they're the ones leading our senior players more so than not these days. That's obviously not a good thing, but it is exciting to know that barring catastrophe, we've got a great new breed coming through the club.

Keep up the good work Jonesy!

There is some great young talent floating arounf the afl. Nathan Jones is the cream of the afl's current crop of kids.

A leader in the making. having Brock and Jones in the same side makes me happy in pants.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
