The curtain came down on Nathan Jones’ career after 16 seasons and 302 games when the tough midfielder made the difficult decision to leave the club’s WA hub in Joondalup after the Preliminary Final to be with wife Jerri for the birth of their twins Odie and Dove. Tough nut Jones has been a virtual fixture in the side after his debut in 2006, the year he broke into the Melbourne team, was awarded his first of two AFL Rising Star Nominations and played in a couple of finals. He won three consecutive Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Medals for club champion in 2012, 2013 and 2014. He was club captain from 2014 to 2019 and played his 300th game this year on the MCG against Richmond. On his retirement, Jones said, "Looking at where the club is now, I am proud of where we are and I'm so excited for the opportunity that my teammates have ahead of them, to write a new chapter in the club's history." The first part of that chapter was written last weekend and though Jones wasn’t there, he was an integral part of the premiership campaign. Before his retirement, his form was close to being worthy of a return to the game after an injury earlier in the year at Casey. He retires in second place on the overall games tally for the club just four games behind another former skipper in David Neitz.

Lol no it wasn't. 😜

The Kardinia Park scoreboard was running on Preliminary Final night.

Lol

I was hoping the footy club would send at least one out for each membership to make up for us missing the Grand Final and games. I know COVID has hit the club hard and this is just an extra cost but the merchandise windfall surely would make this small token of appreciation to members a possibility. This is not intended as a knock on the club just a thought.

Guess who we'll be playing in Round 6 in Sydney. My MFCSS is back baby.
