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.

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
