Just thinking about how long we have been calling out for a true A-Grade Player at the top of his game and really believe we have one right now in Nathan Jones. The bloke is as tough as they come, an uncompromising gut-runner and leads from the front. His stats go alright too: 3rd in the league for total disposals 1st in the league for effective disposals 4th in the league for total clearance Also, top 20 in the league for: Kicks, Handballs, Tackles, Contested Possessions and Uncontested Possessions I only wish he would start to get the media attention he deserves. I know on other footy forums he is always ranked #1 by opposition supports as the most under-rated player in the league. Make sure you lap this bloke up fellow demons supports, he's an absolute champion and future legend

1. ‘Joy’ is not something you ever experience at the footy. It’s your 89-year-old personal assistant, who has been with you for years and whose only job is to renew your MCC membership each year. 2. You’ve heard every skiing and Mt Buller joke before. Mainly from other Melbourne supporters while you’re skiing at Mt Buller. 3. Each time you think things are getting better, they don’t. 4. You wonder why you still get angry when Melbourne are on the end of another belting. 5. That round were the AFL trialled names on jumpers was when you learnt that Robbie Flower is no longer Captain and Allan La Fontaine seems to have retired. 6. In a terrible mix up, you once watched the footy at the MCG from outside the MCC. You still wake up in the night sometimes in a cold sweat remembering the people. 7. Thinking about our drafting over the last decade makes you want to throw your whiskey glass out your chateau window. 8. There is no doubt in your mind that the curse of Norm Smith is real and will never be broken. 9. People make jokes about you driving a Range Rover, but the cost of servicing a Range Rover is no laughing matter. 10. You know we have the best looking jumper in the league. 11. You hope Garry Lyon never ‘helps’ choose a coach again. 12. Opposition fans treaty you with pity and even kindness. It’s truly awful. 13. ‘Diversity’ on the Melbourne board means every major private school is represented. 14. You remember Allen Jakovich with enormous fondness. 15. The other day you were just reminiscing about Number Nine’s wonderful career, over cigars. 16. You’ve sat through many a game, watching players who have completely given up, never break out of a jog. 17. It’s getting hard to be proud of 12 Premierships when the last one was in 1964. 18. You worry that signing your kids up as members, might result in a knock on the door by the Department of Human Services. 19. The jury’s still out on whether naming your newborn son ‘Paul Roos’ was a good idea. http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-demons-fan-heres-how-you-spot-one-hold-the-range-rover-jokes-please/story-fndv8pdq-1227033407301

Yeah I'm sick of Jones getting the easy ball..... oh wait he is 8th the league for clearances Well I'm sick of him going missing in games..... oh hang on, hes got the 4th most disposals of any player in the league this year Well he doesn't "empower" his teammates and butchers it..... hmmm 2nd in the league for effective disposals... Maybe you should give yourself a timeout mate?

It may be embarrassing asking for hand-outs however it will soon be forgotten if we start winning some bloody games!!!

So we are trading out one of the current captains (Grimes), a 20 year old first round pick that hasn't played 20 games yet (Toumpas) and a 22 year old first round pick and former captain that has struggled with injury (Trengove). For a few speculative picks in an open draft which we will already have good picks in. Yeah real smart.

I would absolutely have Jones as Elite. In fact I would have him the most under-rated midfielder in the league. 2014: Ranked 9th in Effective Disposals Per Game Ranked 6th in Total Effective Disposals Ranked 9th in Total Clearances Ranked 8th in Total Disposals Ranked 15th in Disposals Per Game Ranked 15th in Clearances Per Game

On a side note Geelong really act up for their free kicks!! Diving, throwing their head back and constantly sooking to the umps all day, it was like watching the world cup. Even Rivers was getting into the act.

Theres a chance LeBron is heading back to the Cavs so maybe we'll have our own version

Is John Butcher one that Roos could turn around? Top 10 draft pick that just hasn't seemed to come one...

not going to win many games playing like that

horrible skills

Having a girl....

Sad day for football

If we are all being honest Jack should have done a quick front flip to ensure all contact was avoided...

You're exactly the type of bloke that the club does not need. Folding has never and will never be an option.

The whole football world is obsessed with bagging every move we make.... Bloody hell we even got criticized for getting Roos!! Soon we will start our march up the ladder, then they will shut up and forget what they said..... But we won't.

Word is Vince to the Dees on a 4 year deal

Playing hard ball with pick 2: MELBOURNE shopped around its No.2 pick with some extraordinary demands which were laughed at by some of its rivals. One offer which may hold some weight was to West Coast in exchange for midfielder Luke Shuey.

Give him 9 years

Any news on Jack signing? Seems to have gone quite again...

West Coast went from 16th 2010 to 4th 2011. I like the sound of that!!

Roosey's next mission looks to be starting ... locking in Jesse Hogan long term: http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/afl/18873938/dees-race-to-keep-hogan-on-leash/
