Nathan Jones' Twitter Thread

[Bartram_Class]

If Chunk updates it regularly, this could be one of the great threads.

Some early updates...

Today:

Headed to the club for a gym session with the boys, to Get BIGGGGG!!! Then physio, massage, and watch some oppo vision ... Got a bit on today

After the win on Sunday:

What a win!!! great effort by the boys,2 in a row, a bit of a different role for me yesterday was good, now for breakfast & the paper!!!

Fascinating insights there so far Nate...nawt.

Any idea what this new role was? Noticed he was down on possessions but did he have a run-with?

 

[Future Star]

He moved to the back line for a bit after Bell got injured from what i saw, which is abit different.

 

[givemethecure]

Heck, I'll follow him. I don't know of any other MFC boys that have them, so might as well.

What exactly is twitter? From my understanding, it appears as if people just write mindless, one-line posts every so often. Is that close to the mark?

Bang on, that is its actual mission statement I believe.

No, that's Big Footy.

18 touches and a goal for Pearce, 13 and a behind for Jones.

I'd say Jones negated him, not sure about beat him. Nevertheless, can't hurt to have them learn about being accountable.

Anyone fancy tagging a "get out of the gym and go practice your kicking" onto one of his twitter posts?

Latest update:

recovery after training at the beach was so cold i cant explain...

 

[melbournemartin]

Link BC?

 

[master bate]

Go to the club website for the link. Just quietly endorsing this could be a bit of a bad idea for the club, hopefully Jonesy thinks before he tweets.

His latest offering

THE DEES WONT TANK!!! get it out of your heads, we're playing to win and we cant wait for this weekend !

 

[Bartram_Class]

Tanking is never player-driven, but good to hear nonetheless.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Jones:

Congrats LJ - the Warlpiri Wizard on a rising star nomination !!! , can you imagine davey, aussie, and LJ in the forward line together

 

[melbournemartin]

You are really going to get your post count up in this thread aren't you BC?

Still trailing me by a couple of thousand though mate

 

[DemonJim]

Davey delivering to LJ and Aussie crumbing the pack!

Yeah but you are an outside player in Hong Kong to me who is in the guts every weekend in Melbourne.

I'd say I'm a Luke Ball type, without the injuries, where you are more of the Jordan McMahon variety.

 

[bloodpumpsRnB]

Seem he has deleted the tanking post. Maybe we are tanking?

 

[Bartram_Class]

Not that I'm stalking Jones or anything, but does this seem a bit strange from his Wiki page?

Under honours it has:

Runner up Hobart annual Show Cat awards with Jasper.
Famously spent three hours and pontoon table at Wrest Point Hotel and Casino where every hand he played he would get "only 21!"

Anyway, what I was actually there to do was check the progress of those who had gone around him. Can you believe Shaun Higgins went the pick before him? Shit. I love Jones, but gee Higgins is a gun. Hurn and Birchall are the two immediately after him, that is one of the strongest 11-14 of a draft I have ever seen. Even Varcoe at 15 is starting to show something.

 

[melbournemartin]

No point worrying about Higgins. I'm still not sold on him though.

I'd rather Jones to the 3 that came after him, although Hurn would be tempting.

 

[Bartram_Class]

You're not sold on Higgins? Surely you jest?

He's averaging 21 touches and 2 goals a game. He has 23 goals for the year already, that is three more than anyone on our list.

The kid will be elite, Ben Cousins but potentially better.

I agree on Hurn though, very talented. And Birchall too, good head on his shoulders, lovely by foot.

 

[master bate]

I think we we're very keen on Higgins, shame he didn't last. Jones is a good player though, capable of being an all round midfielder even if his kicking is only average. Might not be the star but will be the midfield depth that is needed to win a flag.

So he'll be at least as good as Chris Judd?

You are underrating Cousins at his best, because he was the no.1 midfielder in the competition along with Judd when he was at his peak.

I rate Hurn higher than Birchall, excellent kick and a strong body. Birchall is just a rebounding HBF, afraid to say I don't rate him higher than just a good player.

Can someone link me to Jones' twitter?
