Jones' Nickname


Still Waiting

Recommended Posts

Had it suggested to me that" The Jones Boy " has been tagged with "Casey" as in the old TV series Casey Jones (Steam Locomotive Driver). Seems to fit well too. I think part of the theme song included the words "a steamin' and a rollin' " Go Jonesy, you are a precious commodity to the MFC.

"Chunk"

I've heard "Rock Monster" as well, gee he's a little ripper of a player, even if he is bald.

On the coverage today they showed Carrazzo shaped to hit Jonesy and the little bald one didn't even flinch, he actually looked at Carrazzo as if to say 'Go on, I dare ya'.

THE BALLAD OF CASEY JONES

This version was considered by Janie Jones, Casey's wife, to be the most accurate representation of Wallace's original version. Mrs. Jones spent much of her life refuting some of the vulgar references other versions made about her husband.

Come all you rounders if you want to hear

A story 'bout a brave engineer,

Casey Jones was the rounder's name

"Twas on the Illinois Central that he won his fame.

Casey Jones, he loved a locomotive.

Casey Jones, a mighty man was he.

Casey Jones run his final locomotive

With the Cannonball Special on the old I.C.

Casey pulled into memphis on Number Four,

The engine foreman met him at the roundhouse door;

Said, "Joe Lewis won't be able to make his run

So you'll have to double out on Number One."

If I can have Sim Webb, my fireman, my engine 382,

Although I'm tired and weary, I'll take her through.

Put on my whistle that come in today

Cause I mean to keep her wailing as we ride and pray.

Casey Jones, mounted the cabin,

Casey Jones, with the orders in his hand.

Casey Jones, he mounted the cabin,

Started on his farewell Journey to the promised land.

They pulled out of Memphis nearly two hours late,

Soon they were speeding at a terrible rate.

And the people knew by the whistle's moan.

That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones.

Need more coal there, fireman Sim,

Open that door and heave it in.

Give that shovel all you got

And we'll reach Canton on the dot

On April 30, 1900, that rainy morn,

Down in Mississippi near the town of Vaughan,

Sped the Cannonball Special only two minutes late

Traveling 70 miles an hour when they saw a freight.

The caboose number 83 was on the main line,

Casey's last words were "Jump, Sim, while you have the time.

"At 3:52 that morning came the fareful end,

Casey took his farewell trip to the promised land.

Casey Jones, he died at the throttle,

With the whistle in his hand.

Casey Jones, he died at the throttlle,

But we'll all see Casey in the promised land.

His wife and three children were left to mourn

The tragic death of Casey on that April morn.

May God through His goodness keep them by His grace

Till they all meet together in that heavenly place.

Casey's body lies buried in Jackson, Tennessee

Close beside the tracks of the old I.C.

May his spirit live forever throughout the land

As the greatest of all heroes of a railroad man.

Casey Jones, he died at the throttle,

Casey Jones, with the whistle in his hand.

Casey Jones, he died at the throttle,

But we'll all see Casey in the promised land.

I go with the traditional Jonesy, but my brother and one of my mates (both non Melbourne supporters) refer to him as the Chemo Kid, there was a picture of him and Neitz in the paper earlier this year and they reckon he looked like a kid who had luekemia.

any fans of the TV show "The Shield" would agree Nathan Jones is Vic Mackie no doubt about it!

Is he the bloke who plays Ben Grimm [aka The Thing] in the Fantastic Four movies?

Triple M call him "mini chief", in reference to Jason Dunstall.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
