3 Years for Jamar and McKenzie - seriously?

Featured Replies

All I can think is "thank the Lord (or whoever) that the club isn't a democracy ruled by the majority votes of posters from here". We would have NO players and NO coaching staff....all sacked at some stage over the past year or so.

 

Jamar is crap

He is the worst ruckman in the league Does nothing and should have been shown the door

Giving him 3 years is symptomatic of this club and its inability to make hard decisions

Just appalling !!!! I wont have to worry though he will retire injured next year.

Jamar is on Nick Maxwell's level as a ruckman.

Hard to justify giving Jamar a 3 year deal off the back of this year.

Stef Martin influenced games a lot more in the ruck when he was up and running.

Rated 2nd best ruck in the AFL in 2010. Has the ability to bounce back if we can find a couple of decent clearance players. If we only re-signed players who had performed strongly in the 2012 season we wouldn't be able to field a side next year.

Jamar ranked 11th in the league for hitouts and he only played 14 games.

He would kill nick maxwell over a game i can assure you

Jamar was ranked second in the league for average hitouts per game this year (32.4, behind only Sandilands).

Granted, he was down in the other stats, but ultimately, he is judged on his ruck work.

If you are a ruckman who averages second in the league for hitouts in a 'down' year, you would think that you are worth a new contract.

No point being a gun tap ruckman when you are uselss around the ground.

In his last 6 games, Jamar taken a massive 8 Marks

He kicked the ball 14 times... Yes, over 6 weeks football.

Dean Cox averages near 10 kicks a game and 6 marks a game.

Jamar might be a good tap ruckman, but he is very poor around the ground.

It would help if he made himself a target at least.

That makes Spencer look a lot better

maybe they're on low $ and just wanted the security. if that's the case I think it's a good move. they'll be handy depth players either way.

I would say it is decidedly pointed that you be a gun tap ruckman if you are useless around the ground...

I suppose we are all hoping Jamar comes good,averaging 1 mark a game isn't good enough.

Mckenzie is a good tagger , but has to go to the next level now and become more offensive.

All he has to do DZ is learn how to kick that would improve his offence from zero to good overnight.

Easy thing to say I know and lots of players never improve their kicking.

I agree that he needs to do more around the ground. It will be interesting to see how he is used next year. But I still rate him as a ruckman.

I think that MIsson has the experience and credentials to advise on whether Jamar can keep going for three more years. If Misson gives the all clear, then I'll trust his judgement.

I want to add my support to this Post. I actually think JuniorMac also got it right when he said that both these guys have the Great Bloke attribute.

This will be a very interesting post to look at again in 2015. I'm betting 3 years will definitley be 1 too many for Jamar and McKenzie will be on the fringes which will possible be acceptable because he's a Great Bloke???

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
