He will come in and play 22 games next year, and, barring injury and that, he could come in play AFL footy today and look really comfortable. He is a ready-made player. He is like the old man, in terms of being a raging bull. No disrespect to the old man, he was a bloody hard player to play on, but Jack's got a couple of extra dimensions. He's certainly got that sideways movement and evasive skills. And he's fearless. You need those hard nuts who can go and distribute but he's not just a distributor, he can go and deliver it as well - AIS/AFL academy coach Michael O'Loughlin

    Well timed Demonland.

    A more positive forum than Caro & Schwabby.

    I personally can't wait for Round 1 to see Jack run out in the Red & Blue.

    What I have seen of him in Junior footy and at Casey makes me salivate at the thought of what he could do with a bit more support around him in the AFL. He will benefit a hell of a lot more from this pre-season, as will a lot of the other remaining players.

    I just can't remember a mid fielder for Melbourne since his old man, that has the courage and strength to tear through packs the way he does. Bring on 2013

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
