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)...

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
