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!!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
