    Mark Ricciuto thinks, eh? That in itself should be front page news but alas it would just be another media lie.

    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 :rolleyes:

    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 ? :rolleyes:

    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)...

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
