Jones signs on until 2019

[george2]

Congrats guys. As an outsider looking in, he is a true club man and the heart and soul of your club and has been for a few years now. I'm glad he didn't leave.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Anyone else major to be re-signed or can we focus on getting Patrick Dangerfield now?

Just Garland.

Of course Roughead would have to sign on today as well and steal the spot light. Disappointing that Jones show of loyalty isn't getting the respect it deserves by the media. Well jones got the attention he deserved for three hours at least

I'm happy for Jones to keep out of the spotlight until he retires. Let opposition fans and players underrate him, and then when we rise to the top they'll realise how ******* good this guy is. One of the champs of the MFC.

Congrats , have like him since I saw him playing in the U18 GF. Im glad he is staying for you.

 

[LeverPuller]

Oh thank god.

Now to buy a #2 and not look stupid in 2016

Well I'd hate to jinx him, but he could finish his career with 300+ games and 5+ club champion awards. He also has a great opportunity to lead this club to its first finals appearance since the Daniher era. One-club player. $$$$ will be high but well-deserved. Smart decision from him, would have been easy selling out for a cheap and empty flag at another club.

ponsdale, over to you.

Jones signing is the new Viagra ........ now what to do with it

Wouldn't be surprised. He's been incredible at getting on the field every week, despite players sitting on his head every contest he barely ever gets injured.

Not that it will bother him but his 200th game (if he doesn't miss one, which is likely given history) will be at Paterson's in round 22. Even if he does miss a game it'll then be v GWS at Etihad in round 23. Shame.

Unless he misses two and we play an elimination final at the 'G. I could cope with that, I guess.

Wherever it is I hope it's a huge celebration. He deserves it.

A win in Perth would do nicely.

 

[Dark Avenger]

Resigning Terlich & Bail & now Matt Jones 'til 2019? What the hell is the club thinking?

I wouldn't mind him missing one if it means we can celebrate it with him even if it is at etihad.

A win in Perth would do nicely.

I remember his 150th was against Geelong in Geelong on the same day as Joel Selwood's. Pretty sure that was the day we set a new record for lowest ever inside 50's. Luckily that record was broken this year.

 

[d33my]

Lucky indeed

 

[CM Sean]

Fkkk yerrrr!!! - best news of the year. Couldn't cope wif another year of speculation. Good on ya, Jonesy. The heart and soul of this footy club. *ing champion!

doesn't like it

Garland and Jamar are our only free agents

Gawn, Howe, Kennedy-Harris, Salem, Toumpas, Pederson and Trengove are also out contract.

Reckon we can go after Dangerfield and Jeremy Cameron

 

[RandB]

This pleases me immensely.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Great news! Even more reasons to love Jonesy!

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Thank the almighty lord! (Jesse Hogan)

 

[rhaz]

[Darksidepoints]

Think the will he or won't he now means won't he with FA's

 

[PerfectFooty]

Jones would have to sign another contract to achieve 300 games but i really have no doubt the club would be happy for him to go again, if Jones i willing.

As i said before Jones could really prolong his career playing forward. If he looses the pace for the midfield he could play as a small forward and still make a valuable contribution. Mekenna suggested Ablett could do that if he wanted to play on longer, and at that moment i though that if jones is still around in the future he could probably do that as well.

Apparently we're targeting Zak Jones. Crazy rumour
