Quote FC: 'Roo thinks Port should get Jamar to address their flagging ruck stocks'

Brogan?

Dear Port,

Not for all of the Tea in China.

Honestly, they'd have to give us their first & second round picks plus Troy Chaplin for me to even CONSIDER it worthwhile.

And here's the 'story':

Get Jamar

Methinks Roo should stick to his used car sales, and whiney commentary voice he provides for Foxtel. Some of his other alternatives are laughable - Mark Blake? Will Minson? Cam Wood?

Didn't Jamar come very close to heading back to S.A a few years back?

Bit off topic, but the fact Jamar isn't in the leadership group is nothing short of joke.

It is bloody ridiculous, he is pretty much the perfect role model for the younger boys; he works hard all day and doesn't give up like others already in the leadership group (don't think I need mention his name).

As bad as we are going right now, I cannot see any feasible reason as to why Jamar would want to go to Port Adelaide. If I were a footy player, Port would be the last place I would want to end up.

So why didn't the other players vote Jamar into the leadership group? Maybe they didnt think he was......

Good point, and it makes me wonder. Maybe they thought one good season didn't make a player/leader. Possibly next year?

Even though it is considered an honour to be in the leadership group, some players prefer not to be, it still doesn't stop them from being a good example, it's just they probably feel they don't need the extra responsibility...Jsmar has always struck me as someone who gives 100% to the footy but it is not the be all and end all of his life..perhaps he let his feelings be known that he wasn't interested

To be fair he was very good when not injured in 2009.

May i point out who they did vote in...and how marvellous that group is !!

Why any high earning individual would want to leave the city of Melbourne for that backwater Adelaide is beyond me.

Besides he just started a PT business down here and at the age of 27, i doubt he would be going back to Port to win a flag.

Maybe... just maybe... the players vote on who is the best leader at the club, and this isn't just limited to performance on game day..?

I know Rush goes out there and gives his all - he's a warrior - but maybe he's not overly vocal and supportive of the young kids?

Maybe he's a bit of an introvert?

Nothing wrong with it.

If he leads purely by example, having the title of "member of the leadership group" won't change that in any way.

He's not restricted from leading because he's not in that little clique.

Good points.

Although a i had to look twice at the nic name. Almost thought you were talking about someone else in the leadership group for a moment given his recent efforts and attitude on the field

Wonder what's gotten in to him of late. Was always pretty upbeat and positive or was i imagining things?

So much rests on the Russian for us going forward. Can't see the MFC making that mistake regardless of what's offered.

I wonder whether the players would vote the same guys in ...TODAY...given half the chance ?

Haha.. it would be interesting.

He's staying, but let's play a game of 'hypothetical' and pretend that Melbourne does trade him to Port. What would you think would be fair?

I'd start the bidding at Jackson Trengove and their 1st round pick. Of course we'd be completely screwed for awhile without a decent ruckman on our list but that would be bloody nice compensation.

For what Melbourne need? Either...

- Jackson Trengove and a first-rounder

- Troy Chaplin and a first-rounder

- Dean Brogaan and a second round and a late pick

If that were a real situation, the last thing we'd need is a young player. We need all the experience we can muster, it would have to be an on-trade for another top-notch experienced ruckman and given that Jamar is just about the best going round I can't bring myself to name someone suitable. If this were real, I think I'd jump on the suicide train that travels 'round these parts.

My understanding is that under the Leading Teams model, the LG may be reviewed and changed (Edit - mid season)...
