Today the MFC will apply to return Mark Jamar to the senior list with John Meeson taking his place on the LTI.

Mark is expected to play for Casey on the weekend.

    Of critical importance, despite his lack of ability. We will be a much better team with him in it.

    Wow ! I'll have a better day now.

    Will only play seniors when either Johnson or Spencer are injured IMO.

    I wonder if he is being put in cotton wool for next year and allow him to develop further at VFL?

    Jamar's playing for his career, the second half of the season will show us if he has anything to offer moving forward! Personally I think he could be of value but needs to have more impact around the ground, get more of the footy, hurt the opposition etc but i'm sure we and Jamar are all aware of this. I.m looking forward to seeing the Russian back out on the park.

    He's a massive dude he should just go out their and smash heads.

    I think PJ can be used in more positions than Jamar and we know he can kicks goals.

    I wish we had nat :rolleyes:

    I just... I just don't know what to think of that. The sarcasm button on my computer is busted. I don't know if you're serious or not.

    I don't. Happy with Watts. :)

    Id take watts over nat as well but we could have had both. :blink:

    that is actually very true!

    yeh but if we hadnt of won that game against carlton we could have had watts & nat, and then we could have had scully and butcher... we would be set for a premiership!!

    We do?? Really??

    Paul Johnson - 50 games 14 goals 13 behinds.

    Mark Jamar - 66 games 22 goals 8 behinds.

    I think the belief that PJ is some sort of natural goal kickers is a mirage in some posters mind.

    It's a good point RR. I think the PJ looks as if he could play in a number of positions, but he doesn't. Too much about him is 'as if', not 'has done and succeeded'.

    Pure speculation.

    Yes...

    If we had Nat, he might not have done his knee...he might have debuted for the Dees.....and god forbid we might have been 3 and 4 at this stage...on our way to 6+ wins.....hence no scully or butcher.....

    Like I said.....that's all pure speculation.....should've, could've, would've...

    I know Jamar hasn't set the world on fire, but that's a tad insulting to him.

    I just think he's had ample opportunity over the last few years to cement his place and hasn't taken it. Meesen's been impressive in his 4 games and Spencer's a long term project. He needs to show why he should be played ahead of PJ and I'm yet to see why.

  • Quote

    The reason he stays on the list is simple. Against WC we had one fit ruckman available, if we had 3 on the list we had Stef martin rucking a whole game.

    If memory serves me correctly the big Russian was also one of our leading tacklers per game avg. and was a leading contested possesion getter, my memory could be slightly wring on the possesions thing, but he was a avg. in our top 3 or 4 for tackles per game

    Agree.

    Don't know where this belief has come from other than being conjured up by our desperate need for a key forward.

    Paul Johnson is not a forward.

    Mark Jamar - 66 games 21 goals 8 behinds.

    Id still say Johnson is more dangerous in the FWD half then Jamar.

    Pity you have no logical basis to make that assessment.

    I'll fill the first canteen at the mirage.

    i was thinking more along the lines of.. we get watts and nat.. nat injures himself.. so he and watts take most of the season until they debut (training up, getting bigger, etc)..so not much different to this season.. so we get all four of them suited up the next season (watts, nick nat, scully, butcher)...hooha!!

    i know its specualtion.. but its fun to dream!!

    should-izzle, could-izzle, would-izzle!!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
