Who will be the first to snipe our man Jack ??

My tip is Nick Maxwell.

    Maxwell for mine as well. Traditionally, the 'sniper' is one of the lesser lights of the team who plays hard but lacks skill and is really no loss to the side should he be suspended. In Collingwood's case, the sniper is their captain. Gotta love that...

    I also think Leigh Brown might try and throw some of his (ample) weight around and run thru the kid if he gets anywhere near him.

    It's why i am suprised Miller was Dropped this week. For all his shortcomings he is a Big Boy.

    The Filth will try to snipe i have no doubt....Lou Richards was their most Famous one.

    DEFINITELY Beamer! He's one man you don't want to get angry!

    I wouldn't be surprised to see him run 150m from one end to the other, just to stick up for our golden boy.

    hahah yeh Phil Read, i recon it woudl have to be someone in the forward line depending on if Jack starts on the ground or not.

    If so id say Sylvia hopefully if his playing down forward other wise our forward line isnt the most mean part of our team.

    Then you've answered why he's not in the team.

    By itself it doesn't warrant an inclusion.

    On his recent form, I agree.

    Maxwell will have a crack, and it will no doubt be behind the play because he is a pathetic snipper who thinks Josh "buttercup" Fraser is in All Australian form :rolleyes:

    As for who will help protect him, I would hope anyone and everyone (except Morton, who needs to steer clear of situations where his brittle body may snap in half). I wouldn't want to have a go at Jack if Beamer, McLean, Sylvia or Jamar are around. All four could flatten someone like Maxwell in five seconds.

    But if you really want to protect Jack, get Whelan to play near him. A couple of skull-shattering spear tackles on Jack's opponent will do me fine! :D

    Maxwell and our tuff man Cale Morton will be first in, Col, Moloney, Mclean, Jones, Grimes, Jamar, PJ, McDonald will not be to far behind

    Spot on on both counts Jaded.

    Interesting that a lot of names have been brought up which was good!

    I'll through in the big russian!! good angry unit!

    have a feeling robbo would sneak out the back and try and get on the end of a goal... and bruce would run to the bench! ha joke

    Beamer

    Ditto. He's an angry angry man when he's sticking up for his mates.

    I don't think Collingwood will go too far out of their way to rough up Jack though. They'll give him a push and shove here and there. But if they're seriously concerned with unsettling a kid in his first game, then they haven't got their mind on the job. Would only be a good sign for us.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
