I'm wrapt Big Jamar is back. I rate him highly as a tap ruckman and gee have we missed him. If he could only take those hangers and kick goals like he does in the VFL he would be the best ruckman in the league. Im backing Big Jamar in.

    I see it the same way.

    It's harder to take big contested marks in the forward line, than run around & position yourself correctly. He's my next years 3rd ruck.

    Meesen/Spencer/Jamar/??????/.

    Yes, well unfortunately he can't. Nor can he get more than 10 disposals in one match. Nor does he impose himself on the contest. Nor does he seem to know what he's doing when he's out there.

    He can & he has. But the problem is, he's not doing it often enough. Then he's compounded the supporters doubts by not finishing off his good work.

    This IMO, is the main reason for his own & supporters doubts that hang over him..

    Lets for a moment, think back. This is the first time that he has the opportunity to show something as the No1 ruck, without the shadow of White hanging over him like a dark cloud.

    Last season he had quite a good stretch of playing well through the season, earning a lot of respect amongst opponents. The confidence that can flow & the belief that can grow out of this sort of form can change players for the better. He's still quite young in ruckmen terms.

    I hope he can get some games in & show some of that ability, & position himself well around the ground to be a usefull contributor.

    Sydney ruckman Darren Jolly will have West Coast's Dean Cox in his sights when their teams clash on Saturday at ANZ Stadium.

    Tenth-placed Sydney head the Eagles on percentages. Both - along with six other clubs - have 12 points.

    Jolly said he had not beaten Cox in their many match-ups and it was about time he changed that.

    titan_uranus, I ask you if you may have had doubts previously about Jolly, or Hille @ Essendon?

    You can't seriously suggest that Jamar is comparable to Jolly or Hille?

    To answer the question, I've never really doubted Jolly or Hille as AFL ruckmen. I'm not sure exactly why you're asking, either.

    Sam Blease (leg) - indefinite

    James Frawley (hip) - 2 weeks

    Colin Garland (foot) - indefinite

    Brad Green (jaw) - test

    Mark Jamar (foot) - available

    John Meesen (foot) - indefinite

    Jared Rivers (ankle) - 1 week

    Paul Wheatley (quad) - 1-2 weeks

    Austin Wonaeamirri (knee) - 6 weeks

    James Strauss - 1 week suspension

    I certainly don't like seeing the word "indefinite". Good to see Brad Green will be tested.

    James Strauss - 1 week suspension

    Well done to those concerned with Strauss' successful appeal against that suspension. Strauss has been picked on the extended bench for the Scorpion seniors. As an early draft pick, he needs to be playing in the ones.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
