    You know that when you see Nathan Jones lying on the ground without a ball underneath him and three blokes on top of him, he's either been hit by a car or his back is broken. Tough as nails and bald to boot. What more could you want?

    what he did was very guttsy. Unfortuantly i was told by a board members son yesterday that we are offering him up for trade. hope its not true, but could get a good pick for him or chuck in one of our picks and get a forward

    Sounds plausible, almost expected.

    But I wouldn't reveal my sources so readily, personally.

    The act was inspiring and corageous and had me standing in my seat clapping. Get well soon Jonesy, we need ya.

    Very courageous putting himself in front of Edwards and taking the hit. Having said that, prior to his injury, he was absolutely murdered by Harvey (who exploited his lack of pace). What's more concerning is the coaches failing to change the match-up. He is in the same boat as Moloney IMO. Both give 100%, but they are limited in what they provide, leadership aside. Jonesy has a a bit more toe than Moloney though, plus better endurance. If said rumour is true in that we are putting him on the trade table, maybe we are just seeing what possible offers we could get. If we were to do this, i would have thought Warnock would be put on the table too.

    Find this post unfitting at this time.Talk about a player putting his body on the line -wow and came out with a fractured back. JS would not accept him being traded IMO. Gutsy and determined and I wish we had a few more like him.GO Jonsey GO.Also his best friend is our ex captain and confidant to Jim Stynes-Greg Healy.

    Could happen. He and Bate fit the "got to give something to get something" mould.

    Get well.

    Terrific team player thisyear.

    As for the incident, no free or protection offered to a vunerable player with eyes for the ball.

    It was a knee to the back area. That is legal. i.e. speccies etc. It was just unfortunate that Jonesy came of a bit worse for wear. All in the name of "bad luck".

    Get well soon, Nathan. A stellar 2010 season and I hope he DOESN'T get traded!

    It's a bit unfair to say he was being "murdered" by Harvey, whose influence was much more pronounced after Jones left the ground. Bonafide stars being tagged out of the game is the exception rather than the rule; Jones limited Harvey's influence, so he did what was asked.

    Wait.

    You're seriously saying that if the coach and the football department decide the best thing going forward is to trade a certain player, the head of the board would and should interfere with football operations and veto that decision on the grounds that said player got hurt recently in a contest?

    I was told by a board members son that the cleaner was getting Bailey's job.

    I think he is.

    But the whole situation would change if we could somehow trade Jones to China...

    I'm as big a fan of anyone as Jim and what he's done for the club, but sometimes I think some of us sometimes forget that he's not God, he's just the club president. If he interfered with football department matters like that, I'd hope Connolly and co would ask him to kindly butt out.

    Jim Stynes understands that business is business. I hope to god Nath doesnt go, but if the FD wanted to trade him Jimmy would say "thanks Nathan but you got to go". Jimmy STynes is a great great man, all of us owe him for saving the club... However (especially with Junior) if its best for the team for someone to go, he wont say boo.

    Lets not forget that he is uncontracted and could well go to the GC, he does love a surf.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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 Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"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 Collingwood’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.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.
