He was just on then, i think i joined it half way through unfortunately.

KB was basically just reiterating all Melbourne supporters feeling about him this year, that he's been a shining beacon in a very dark time. Turns out he was a Saints supporter as a kid and he talked about how strange it was to be not only playing against his boyhood team, but playing against his idol as a kid in Robert Harvey. He said that this year he set himself a task of always being in the 22 and getting a starting midfield slot.

He learned a lot from when he played on Judd, Kerr, and Harvey. He was also asked how he dealt with the whole thing of Neale Daniher's departure, he said that he tried to just focus on his job and his role in the side rather than be drawn into it. He said it was obviously hard to see him go as Neale was the coach who gave him his start in AFL Footy.

He re-enforced the notion that the players going out on to the field this week will not be tanking, the team has always believed in the team making things better by winning games and they have tried that all year.

One final question that was given to him was whether he would grown his hair for next year, he said he might grow it over the summer and if it gets too hot for him, he'll just shave it off again.

Personally, i love the chrome dome! And I love this kid, been a good to watch all year.

    The kid is a champ. That he's been standing up each week while others around him have crumbled, speaks volumes of his attitude and his star quality.

    He'll win, or come very close to winning our B&F. That is VERY impressive for a 19 year old kid playing his second season.

    KB also mentioned his Grand Final performance in the TAC cup... KB said basically jones pretty much tried to beat the other team on his own, but unfortunately he didn't have much support and they went down...

    He sure has been a standout for us this year, but you can also say that he has a lot of imrovement to come. Just as an example, his speed of disposal during some matches can be very frustrating to watch, but this is something that will change, so I think we have another Brock in the making, just hope we keep hold of him and he stays injury free.

    Can't wait to see how he will play on Sunday as I am sure he will be putting in 100%, let's wait and see who else stands up with him?

    Yeah KB loved his performance in that GF, he mentioned it probably 3-4 times

    Was good to finally listen to a melboutne player on there for once.

    And also damning of our more seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
