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

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).

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

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.

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)...

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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
