Jamar is past his best

Featured Replies

Sounds like a pick one.....but he won't go #1 will he?

He's been talked up as pick 2. All year it's been Whitfield pick 1, Grundy pick 2, Toumpas pick 3.

Whitfield will go pick 1 to GWS. GC don't need a ruckman so will take a midfielder with pick 2. Hopefully Grundy is there at pick 3, so we can snatch him up and a mid with pick 4.

Jamar is still going ok. Hopefully with a good preseason he can have another season like 2010 and really have a big impact. Grundy is an ideal replacement though. Bigger than Jamar already, very aggressive, and has good pace and marking ability. He often scores as a target up forward. If we can get him as a ruckman who rotates forward, with his skill, aggression and size, we're onto a winner. He could step straight in.

 

interesting article and also shows that we should get viney with our second rounder given GWS and Suns have more important players to grab.

At a club with a great midfield, like Collingwood Jamar's tapwork would be really valuable. But for us his main skill - only skill - isn't utilized nearly enough.

 

We need impact players now....we can't wait for developers.

Further, big guys take years to develop.

I say a big no.

Grundy is already playing seniors in the SANFL, 202cm and 100kg, kicks goals up forward... Rendell thinks he can have an impact in his first year in the AFL,... curious why you don't?

I don't know if we should/will get him, but to say that he is not developed and will not is maybe a little premature.


Jamar is next to useless I can't fathom why we signed him for 3 years. A stupid mistake. The only thing he can do is win taps but even when he does they go nowhere. Has had one good season in 2010. That's it. For a player that's been on our list since about 2004 that's a whole lot of crap being served up.

Saw Mark running the tan yesterday looked to be fit and well and was pushing himself with interval sprints

Maybe he has been injured I hope so because he was next to useless the whole year

Needs to impact the game

Oh by the way its not until you pass them closely you realise how big a ruck man is. He is huge

Jamar has carried injuries right through 2012. He did look very slow. Very strong and determined will have a much better 2013 and hopefully re-establish himself. IMO he's not far behind Jolly.

 

He is miles behind Jolly, to suggest otherwise is ridiculous. For starters Jolly can kick, something which I would have thought is an integral part of being a footballer.

3 years. Does this mean he has "bought in" ?

  • 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.
