Never thought he'd make it this far but I'm more than happy to have been proved wrong. I think every player should look back to the after game interview with him in Darwin last year, and if they feel like wilting on the weekend just dig a little deeper because that is what he'd do for them.

the first 50: just awful

Yes the Darwin I/V and also the Queens Birthday I/V after the draw...The Russian gave his all and more. Well done Big Fella, the Boys should all lift for you (and all of us) Tomorrow night.

Gotta love players who persevere and don't just give up when things get too hard.

Jamar was down and out for many seasons due to a variety of issues, but he stuck by the club the way the club stuck by him and it has paid off. He is now a star ruckman.

I guess some things really are worth waiting for!

I was thinking that it feels like he's been around forever, then when I checked it out, it would seem that he has - this is year number 9 10 on the list. Only Green has been on the list longer.

It's got to have been the slowest buildup of all time but it's definitely been worth the wait. Well done Russian.

Absolutely amazed he isn't at least in the official leadership group. The way he has played the last 18 months he has Captain written all over him! A true "heart and soul" player if ever there was one!

yeah well done big Rush. I dont think any dees fan can not love him for his perseverence and his outstanding performances and leadership in the last year. He is without doubt the most important player in our side and i hate to think what would happen if he wasnt there in every one of our 22 games. Ill never forget some of his great individual performances from 2010- The queens birthday against collingwood where he obliterated Jolly and Fraser and the Port game in Darwin where he was absolutely spent. Lets hope he plays at least another 100 games and then goes and makes babies.

Hahaha!! Hindsight can be so entertaining sometimes.... :lol:

Whilst I can breath a sigh of relief on my input back in 2008, it's very easy to criticise using hindsight. If you think the first 6 years of his footy career wasn't frustrating for a Melbourne supporter, you'd be lying through your teeth.

We can look back on some of those comments with amusement, some contributions from some respectable posters, but I won't be one of those criticising them for such comments. Because at the time, they were somewhat justified IMO.

I think we would all agree it has been a fantastic and most welcomed improvement from MJ and his footy, highlighted by his AA selection last year. I'm sure everyone would be pleased to see him achieve not only AA, but reaching 100 games and the journey to those 100 games - on the back of competing against the likes of White & Jolly for spots - well done Jamar.

Yeah, I had a little chuckle...but I was over it pretty quick.

To be honest I've chuckled more over some of your 'award winning' comments WYL.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
