J Mac - to play on?

[Deemolition Man 0]

He still can play at AFL level quite nicely. Do you think if a team like Saints offered him a slot he'd go for it? (Some one closer to a flag) And I suppose the other question do you think another team would go for him? I personally believe there are clubs out there that could use junior for the next year or 2... I suppose if anything injury factor could be a concern for some

Luke Ball couldn't get a game with them, Junior's disposal is just as iffy, plus playing on Etirock every week would take it's toll.

Maybe Sydney could use him to replace Kirky?

I wish him all the best whatever happens.

i can see him staying involved in the club, like when Anthony retired

The chances of another club chasing a 34yo mid are pretty much zero. He's not a Barry Hall type who will provide the last ingredient for a flag aspirant, most of the top 4 or 5 would consider their midfields a real strength. And I doubt Junior would put his hand up anyway.

I heard that that's what his plans are

This was just a stupid little comment from Hutchy on Good Call Bad Call, please don't take that as even any sort of rumour. Would not happen, but if i did happen to occur well then i would be very happy for Jnr

Now if you really thought about it sensibly you wouldn't...

Nope. Macca only had one year left in him anyway. Why uproot your family for a non contender for 1 season?

Macca will find work quickly, he is a pretty intelligent guy.

I'm a believer that he didn't have one year left in him. He's no Robert Harvey or Michael Tuck, he was slowing down toward the end of the season, and the amount of time it took him to get over his injuries was alarming. Let's face it, how many more weeks was Riewoldt out for with his hammy that he had surgery on, compared to Junior who "only" tore it?

The best and most qualified people to know if he has/had one more year left in him are the Football Dept. They have made minimal errors of judgement in the past 3 years, so I put 100% trust in them. The other thing with Junior playing on in 2011 (especially at Melbourne) would be that he would put our development back 1 year. While that seems harsh considering he was only taking up one spot on list, what it does mean is that Jordie gets promoted off the rookie list, allowing us to replace him on the rookie list. No-one in here would have wanted to see Jnr play a bulk amount of his games at Casey, so the best decision was made.

As someone said earlier, he is 34, no team will pick him up.
