For the past 12 years it can’t have been easy for Nathan Jones to be regularly reminded of how much better life was for players at other clubs.
For example, in 2013 we were informed that Joel Selwood’s first 140 games included 116 wins and 24 losses, whereas Jones’ 140 games were 36 wins, three draws and 101 losses.
