Jones has more mongrel in him than West which is great, think West has more innate ballwinning ability though, but the potential is there for Jonesy to be a great player.

Nathan Jones born 20.1.88. Hasn't come close to his 21st birthday yet. Going to be a long term player and a gun for the MFC. A Greg Williams reincarnation in the making.

From my perspective, the single most important aspect of football is winning the hard ball. Nathan Jones is going to win us many a hard ball over the next decade. Well done Jonsey, you are proving worthy on the number 2 jumper.

Jones won't be going anywhere.

Seriously, we just need a midfielder with good pace who can break the lines (Please throw the book at one during trade week), because we already have Beamer, McLean, Sylvia and Jones in our future midfield, with possibly Bate and Bell.

On second thoughts, could Bell (In a few years obviously) be the line breaker we need? We all know he is very quick and a great kick when he doesn't start thinking about it, also very strong and courageous, what are everyones thoughts?

I'm not proposing take him out of the backline anytime soon, but in a few years time could he play permanent midfield?

i reckon his ball use is good enough, he is certainly quick enough with a good engine, and his tackling is one of the best in the team, so i don't see why he couldn't be a midfielder if that's what danners wants

For a guy in just his second year, he is really impressing me.

I trust his disposal will improve to really cap his game off.

Absolutely agree. Even if he peaks early he'll be an A grade midfielder.

If he starts kicking those goals that he missed today he'll be the complete package.

I was really impressed with him today, especially in the last quarter when he provided some good run in the middle and finished it off with some great passes in to the forward 50.

Hasn't come close to his 20th yet I think you mean. Think you got your maths wrong, he's 19 turning 20 next year! :P

And yes, he is a gun. :D

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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
