I dare say the majority of our premiership squad would credit their professionalism to this guy taking them under his wing when they first entered the club. You canโ€™t put a price on that kind of leadership. Welcome back Captain!

I recall making that observation re Jones back in my Ology days.

Kicking and always something each year..it rarely got acknowledged.

He also tried to carry the whole team on his back for a few seasons there.

Tried a bit too hard sometimes I thought.

There were stories of tension with Jack Viney in the change room and he's no commentator

But still..

You have to love a footballer who surfs rather than plays golf though....hmm that might be a lead to follow up next next year.

I 'm surprised that Nathan came back on board given the Club seemingly begrudged 300 games, made sure he didn't overtake Neeta ( who they gifted a whole season to) and then the coach whoย  couldn't find him aย  spot on the best 22 on G/F day.

Geez, they only had to beat the rabble that is "foot as grey" which is like beating Ivan Lendl at Wimbledon.ย 

He may put a bit of ginger in the group..can't be bad thing , but not likely to put them in the finalsย

It was our premiership season hardly think it was the time to be gifting games. End of day he wasnโ€™t in the best 22 there should be no grudges there

A fully restored version of Wim Wenders Paris Texas is being screened at The Classic in Melbourne and The Ritz in Sydney over the next couple of weeks. I'm planning on going tonight. Love that film. And the incredible sound track by Ry Cooder.ย 

This is without a doubt the most misplaced post I've ever made except for the one quoted above but anyway following on. I went to this last night. Forgot just how good this film is. Can't recommend it highly enough. Incredible script by Sam Shephard. Natasha Kinsky in her absolute prime. OMG. Changed Harry Dean Stanton's career. I think he did Repo Man next. Another classic.ย

Way too slow for me. Great to look at, but a bloody hard watch. We studied it in film school.

I'm glad we've got a structure that eases him into the big time coaching ranks. Giving him stoppages is a smart start.

I suspect the soft cap has had something to do with the midfield appointments too, although I could be completely wrong there.

The pacing is what I like so much about it. That'll either make it or break it for you. Funny how the memory plays tricks. I thought the cross country walking was a big part of the film but watching it now it was actually quite short.ย

The soft cap still not being restored to pre Covid levels is an absolute shocker by the AFL. There has been plenty of press about the cost to the Assistants of this in terms of workloads and lack of appropriate remuneration. Needs to have been fixed several seasons ago.ย

Agreed. Wtf are the AFL doing with this. Everything is back to normal and has been for 2.5 - 3 years

Pretty rounded view of things, has Jonesy, and coming from a number of good and relevant places into this apparently well-conceived role.

So good to have Nathan Jones back at the club he has had time to get over his hurt, he has had a spell in the Media, watched lots of games and would have his own ideas about game plans, midfield strategy and how to inspire his midfield group plus he has Sam Radford in his corner who has years of experience developing teams. Not to mention his 306 games, that puts him up with the legends of the game plus a multiple Bluey Winner. Looking forward to seeing the midfield changes in โ€˜25, welcome back Champ.

Great to have him back.

As midfield coach I'm not so sure.

The last first year midfield coach I can remember succeeding was Brett Ratten with us 20 years ago.ย 

Boy you have a short memory you donโ€™t think our flag was based on Yze plus bang bang bang and Jacko. Maybe have a a relook of the 2021 Finals especially from the 19 minute mark of the Granny.ย

Not sure if you're aware Mr 58er but Adem Yze was a multiple premiership winning assistant coach at Hawthorn before coming to us, not fresh out of the game.ย

Along with Jonsey, ld love to see James Mac back helping with development and even leadership

You won't be seeing Junior Mac down in Melbourne anytime soon.

He's settled up here in Albury in a real nice property just out of town and is heavily involved in the agriculture world.

He coaches the Albury Tigers juniors and I've been keeping a close eye on his young fella Harry McDonald who is a upcoming gun junior footballer.

Harry won the under 14's best and fairest this year and finished 4th in the league beat and fairest.

Does he play like Junior?ย 


Jonesy certainly brings some fun to training.ย  Usually smiling and quick with a light hearted comment or two.

No way Jonesy would have been sitting on the bench for the full game.ย  Think there would have been 22 players literally willing to pull a hammy for him to get him out on the ground.

But we had one guy with a hammy playing, Harmes came to the bench and said to Goody he will fake a hammy to get JJ on and Goody said no.

I wouldnt have put it past Goody, he said the rules stated a player has o be injured. I mean May had a 6cm tear so he could have done it, but didnt.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
