Keeping Chunk
Sally Trevena
The Hawthorn Burgoyne playbook shows how resigning Nathan Jones to a one year contract as player and assistant coach would be a smart move by the MFC with the 2021 soft cap reduction in number of coaches, playing lists and salary caps. Jones in a positive move for the club becomes an experienced mentor particularly for younger players, development coach and player who may or may not reach 300 games – win win all round!
Another major plus is that the MFC doe not repeat the mistakes of the past with previous loyal long serving players and captains of the club – Junior McDonald and Brad Green.
Over to you MFC …..
Note: Thanks to Mark McGowan (AFL) and Lisa Alexander (Offsiders) for highlighting this issue and opportunity.
