The 3rd umpire who reviews the goals, etc, should be involved in these type instances.
-
NOPE. no red cards/yellow cards, of any sort. A Sin bin, Yes. With proviso's. If a player has been knocked out or severely injured maliciously, off the play, and leaves the ground unable to return, the perpetrator should be 'SinBinned' for a matching time of the victim. Which could end up in weeks of the season. Or, If a player has given a jumper punch dropping the opponent, or been overly abusive to an umpire, he could be given 5 mins in SinBin. The Team plays one down, for the period. In the case of a 'SinBin', for a player victim who has been removed straight from the ground and not through the interchange gate, the perpetrator also sits the match out, but a Substitute player can enter the game to even the numbers. .

We wouldn't ask Jones to leave. Fd. GCS would, and the AFL could with a proposal. Which would also involve the Swans. Only after any interest was shown by Jonesy himself,,, would Melbournefc be at the end of any talks. Again it does not start with this footy club,,, but with the AFL and the GCSuns... Dewy may have totally different ideas. So your comments above are totally irrelevant to this footy club. Its all about the AFL, and their biggest job in footy. And it would be a Huge feather in the footy Beanie of Nathan Jones,,, to be considered for such an important AFL job. .

because it's a win, all round.

Give what a rest... I'm discussing with others their posts to me. Give yourself a rest DAG.

You really don't get it, because you don't care for the AFL all that much. your just Melbourne & that's all. Not everyone is limited to just Melbourne SWYL. Someone who cares about the AFL game, and its development.. Someone with a generous spirit and the skills to achieve the goals, to do the job right. I think Jones'y is like this, as a person. .
-
Reasons I've stated... and it would lengthen his playing career... and he can contribute to an important AFL cause, when he will have been payed out, by us. Come this time next year, Jones'y will be coming off contract. He will be finished as captain, and the club has a one year policy after 30yrs of age I believe. He will be 31Yrs +... end of 2019. and will only get one more year. We have other young leaders now, who are making strides, and Viney or TMc will take the sole mantle. The end of 2019 will see the end of Vince, Lewis, And closely following will be Nathan. The other side of the coin is; there is a Key position defender going into the market this end of season... and we might be looking down the barrel IF Lever fails in his recovery from the 2nd Knee reconstruction, on the same knee. We don't have much to bid with for May this year. But we need him desperately, IMO. The gap between OMc,,,, and Petty and Dec; is much too big to wait on they're development, and we should not rely on Frost and OMc. If all we have is Frost and OMc next year... TMc will have to play back often next year, and in finals. Our whole club redevelopment could blow up in our face, if we don't cover off Lever. This is what I'm talking about. It really is that big a deal.

It cannot do any damage to this club, as it would be up to Jones'y himself and his family, to choose. he is contracted till next year so it would be his decision alone, other than the Suns, and the AFL. 'The fool', is you F'd... ever since you were insisting the club should be recruiting Toumpas over Wines or Grundy, back in that draft year. The best skilled playing in the draft apparently, hey Furious. Yeah well. That one worked a treat. Did you whisper into Toddy's ear that day. . Stick to your strong suit F'd, and go hum some more. .
-
I used to be the same as that with the 'one club thing', etc. But I'm thinking of Jonesy and his tenure within the AFL, as well as this Club, and how it can cover off Lever. And do all it can to realise its dream and to finally achieve it's aim. Jones'y could help the club do just this. By aiding May to come here. And in the process, help the game itself in a big way.
-
I understand all that, but he has a max of 2 years with us, before he's gets overtaken from within. There is every chance that Jones'y will lose the captaincy at the Demons within the next 12 months. That won't be the case at the Suns. As his leadership alone will dictate he plays on there to aid in their recovery. They and the AFL would pay him overs to have a player of his skill-sets and experience, to help lead the Sun's out of the shadows. I cannot think of any other leader within the AFL that has his bulk of experiences,,, that makes them a better choice to do that job. He is far and away the most suited for the role. Loyalty of course... but how will it be when we have to drop him from our finals bound sides next year, or the season after. How will that be for loyalty ? And after that, retirement beckons. A sudden fall from grace.
-
There is no shafting SWYL, it would be by mutual decisions. its a good fit all round. GC die... LoL. The hatred here, to the competition, and to posters with creative ideas is astounding. No wonder our club has struggled for so long, without any results. The conservative dark side is strong around these parts young Darth.
-
The culture angle meets a lot of resistance from within;,,, against any change from outsiders and newbies. That is the difficulty at Melbourne, when the soft resets. McCartney would have challenged this resistance, and he did trade out some old talented players to help shift the resistance,,, no doubt. Naturally there would be some disharmony, in doing this resetting of culture, and values. Players don't like being made to work harder than they've been used to, and to be more professional, and more dedicated. No doubt Macca helped to setup the premiership which Bevo made, with the Doggies.
-
Should have been North, your right, but isn't... they will surely end up in Tassie. And the choice isn't mine, it would obviously be the Suns, Nathan and families, the AFL's,,, & then Mfc's. The Upside for Mfc, is we get a Key defender in his prime, to Aid us out our self-imposed 50 Yr hell-hole. You want to be ruthless or not SWYL, or is that pretence.
-
Hodge has, Mitchell did, and there will be more to do it. Nathan will get more years in the game doing something really important for our game. I'm sure his family would cope really well. with winters up there. As would Nathan, i'm sure, and I think being close to the surf would help Nathans aging body recover from any soreness as he ages further. Extending his career. Don't let your hostility get in the way of your thinking dd36. And the loyal servant would being serving the game he loves. He has 2 years left within our team, at lesser money. Before its all over. He will get an extra year or two up in QLD in the warm climes, on big money. .

No, sorry... I don't watch other clubs these days, as I struggle to even watch our games in a sitting. I watched the Storm Friday night. Watched us Satdy night. I don't like the congestion and the commentary. Most of the presentation in the box. The Ex players are killing the TV Product. Its too in your face,,, and too Figjam on the commentary bench. .

* To help the AFL and Footy,,, in the biggest Job within the AFL, at this time. * For a huge payday for his family * To get the chance to finally share AFL games with his young Bro. * To get to surf more readily in warmer climate for a few years whilst he does some really important work for the game, and the pleasure he will receive with the growth up there. * He gets to really set his family up with the remuneration AFL guaranteed, with him leading that club back up. * To stamp his imprint into the culture of the new and struggling club. * And to get the forever gratitude from the AFL itself, for his remaining days on this planet. * Potential to enhance a possible media career, after his playing days with 2 clubs... the oldest and youngest.

The choice would be with Nathan, and his family... PD. There is none of your hate PD. you are the one holding hate in your absenteeism. And don't bother coming out of your hole to UN-ignore. It's been a pleasure not reading you til now, with you in there. Try looking in a mirror, if you think of your last statements. seeya.
-
Ok, you can't see it. each to their own.
-
Your very short sighted Mickey. NJones is perfect for the role as the reasons stated. His Discipline crucial. Dew is there now as coach. Swans disciplines. Zac Jones would be there in support of his brother,, helping nJ change the culture at ground level. While Dewy does his thing from above the List.
-
Nathan Jones is the best option in the League having been there done that, as a leader. He is slowing, but his leadership is perfect for that specific job... the biggest job in AFL right now. He has seen all the methods of trying to build, and rebuild... the failures and the correct path. He has the stern mind and the steely Look. His discipline is 2nd to no other. And I think he would love the Lifestyle up there for a few years. This would be a Ma$$ive Pay Day for nJones, if offered this Job. And would guarantee him a huge place in AFL history, for taking the role on. $M2.25 over 3Yrs ??? His brother would get to play alongside Nathan, and could possibly take the leadership, following. Jones'y would help us get May into the club, and possible an early 1st Rnd pick,,, with us adding others onto the deal, to help set them onto an even Keel. We are blessed for mature heads and hard honest workers on our list... this is what the Gold Coast lacks_ 'Real Honesty', and 'Real Commitment'. Lets get it done Melbourne and AFL. .

I would be looking at trading to the Gold Coast, for May. OMc and Jones. I love my club; and also I really want the 2nd Qld team to succeed. GCS For them the Key is real tough Love, with the right disciplined leaders. To set them up the right way_ Enter Nathan Jones... And Zac Jones, from the Swans. We have a few possibilities as trade options, from -> OMc, Tyson, Hunt, AVB, Wagner, Kent, Bugg, JKH, Keilty,

The other one I think might be more important than Gaff, is Steven May. We cannot be sure that Lever won't breakdown again. Like the Ox did. We need to cover off this area. I'd be spending my money this year on May. With accompanying trades.
-
Yep, save our pennies for real talent, and go hard.

He certainly sounds like a good type of player.
