I'm not entirely sure it's something to be proud of....

but hey, sometimes you provide entertainment with your 'comments'....(if one can call it that)

...only in small doses though.

    A great 'rags to riches' story and a fantastic fella to boot. Well done Rush, I look forward to your next 100, and a Flag thrown in would be just reward.

    I saw that he was playing his 100th on the footy show last night and couldn't believe it - it feels like he should be playing his 200th he's been around for so long! Has any player ever turned his game around as much as the Russian has? Would have been happy to have delisted him 2 years ago - wouldn't trade him for anyone now! (ok maybe Cox and Sandilands at once :) )

    People can take my comments any way they like HT, with all the madness i have been through i shouldn't even be here. i just call things as i see and feel them. i am not always right, but then who is?

    Talking of entertainment, i do miss the left field views of YM! Out of all of us he is still the only poster i have seen printed in the newspaper!! B)

    Many of us have been doubters......some very bad calls in there. Good on ya big Ruski for 100 games for the red and blue.

    ...

    Great pick up their Rock n roll. I will admit to having called him "Donuts" a couple of times early in his career. But he did have the attributes of a potentially good big man. Contested marking and use of his body in ruck contests were always there. He is dangerous up forward and he has a great goalkicking accuracy over his career(43.17) over 70%.

    Note: Aussie and LJ look very good on the stats for accuracy.

    But from early 2007 onward, I could not see how many people got so excited about PJ. Greatest tease of big man ever.

    Anyway, maintain the standard Jamar. Well done.

    The greatest turn around I've ever seen in a player, I don't even want to look at the stuff I once said about him (though I can remember most of it and fall asleep with tears of guilt cascading onto my pillow every night).

    Should be the poster boy for what hard work and perseverance can do.

    Has taught me to keep a little glimmer of hope for any struggling big blokes, rather than completely write them off and bag them to Moscow and back.

    Edit: and congrats big man! Hope to see 100 more.

    Very interesting. Deserves to be rewarded for his loyalty. Stayed with the DEES who only offered a 1 year deal rather than go to Port who offered a 2 year deal. All he needed was to be told he was in our best 22.

    WELL DONE Mark.

    He flew to China late after attending a wedding & played after flying all night. He was stuffed but gave his all.

    All the very best for tonight.

    That is why i have never been a fan of the long contract (4 years +) Mark Jamar raised his own level, after he was obviously told "Yes we want you, but you still have to prove your on going worth" The Club made him feel Hungry. Good way to do business for both sides of the deal.

    The Russian took his time, then hurried up. You are now looking at a premier ruckman playing his 100th game of footy.

    I look forward to his next 50 games.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
