Demons Ordinary Skill Level

2010 is the year Mark Jamar can make or break his career. It is entirely up to him barring injury. i am glad he was only given a short contract-sends the right message.

Given that Meesen and PJ are in their final years, both are injured, both are not AFL standard. IMO I reckon both of them are doubtful starters for 2011. I think there might be other messages there for Jamar and I would be surprised unless if at years end Jamar is LT injured that we cut all three from our ranks unless we can recruit another AFL ready ruckman.

In a few years it would be a sight to behold. I don't in any way claim that NikNat won't be great. My objection is to people saying he already is. I saw an oversized kid with great enthusiasm and little skill. When he becomes a huge man with good skills to go with his athleticism I'll joint the chorus.

He is an exciting prospect but one of his biggest challenges will be the hyperbolic expectations on him. He is still just a promising kids. I look forward to how he develops.

In 2004, White was the AA ruckman and when fit had been a key element with Scott Thompson in propelling MFC to ladder top 2/3rd trhough that season.Both got injuries and MFC sunk like a stone. White had done all that on his own with no backup as Jolly got injured earlier in the year. When he returned, Jolly cracked the sads about lack of opportunity and when he did have a chance to play played poorly, so poorly in fact that MFC dropped him and took a very green Jamar into the EF. At season's end Jolly wanted OUT. He wanted to be a No1 ruckman and has taken him three years to get there. When he left MFC he was much inferior ruckman to what he is now. He has been good for the past three years. We all know the centre line rule came in prior to 2005 and the role of the ruckman changed greatly

Feel free to grumble but make sure you have the facts.

The Facts are RR Jolly has a premiership medallion and we at present have no top line Ruckmen
