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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
