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???

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
