Mitch was our only reliable big man out there today.

Jamar and Sellars for that matter are not worthy of an AFL game right now.

Let us hope that Dawes will add something to that glaring inadequacy.

I have completely forgotten Dawes. Must be sitting there thinking what the fark was I thinking.

    Right now, with Gillies, Sellar and Jamar we have three of the least effective players in the comp generally running around in the 1s (Gillies aside for this week). The sooner we don't need guys like this the better it will be for all of us

    Agree with the sentiment here. It's wrong to just say 'look at the hit outs'; many of them were straight to WC players or into the ground, rather than to our advantage.

    And don't even get me started on his 'influence' around the ground. Some contests he just rucks, then stands there waiting to see what happens.

    He can't kick, he doesn't kick, he can't mark, he doesn't mark.

    I'm done.

    he is by far the worst afl player to ever play 100 games!

    There's a fair bit of competition for that.

    Matthew Bate, for one.

    Lynden Dunn, for another.

    I thought he did well at the center bounces... Better than the last few weeks

    I thought his centre bounce work was great. But apart from that he was truly hopeless. Why can't he pick up the ball off the ground when there is no pressure? Has to be Casey-bound now that Gawn is ready to go.

    He contested the hit outs but that is all. Once he's "gone up" for the tap he's as much of a spectator as I am.

    Jamar is pathetic ruckman now, he is done and dusted as an AFL player.

    So is Davey.

    Agree on Jamar, but Davey's been surprisingly good in his two games this year. We just need to expect a lot less of him these days.

    I think Davey has played his role in both games so far.

    Jamar is one of the more extraordinary case studies in sports history. He's played one good year in a career stretching 11.

    He needs to be on the motivational speaking circuit.

  • Quote

    He and Royal are the big issues with the Melbourne midfield. His work rate is atrocious. He doesn't get to contests. He's too slow. He offers nothing up forward. He taps generally straight to his feet. Rarely marks those kick ins on the back flank. He needs to go. Bring in Spencer. Gawn should be brought in once match fit. A hopeless decision to re-sign him for three years.

  • Quote

    If only he could mark.

    When Jamar handballed a shot at goal to another player who was under pressure, I couldn't even use use words. I just kind of roared loud and incoherently. Scared the hell out of my children. Thanks Mark Jamar.

    You useless trash of a player this bloke does NOTHING around the ground! he is by far the worst afl player to ever play 100 games! get in spener or gawn atleast they show heart and work ethic!

    Go and support another team mate, what have you ever done in your life?? Have you ever made the grade in Afl?

    What gives you the right to call him trash.

    Some people on these boards are nothing short of pathetic!

    Right. All non-AFL players on this board must now stop commenting, as, according to Grimes is Great, none of us are able to form an opinion.

    A fair selection of the media will be in trouble too.

    I'm thinking a bit differently why not play jamar and gawn so at least our midfield gets first use at some time and drop pedersen. Forward pressure means little if the ball is there. If it doesn't work at least Gawn has had an easier return to afl and then can ruck alone the week after.

    Certainly think Jamar was better in the ruck today but awful around the ground

    It's about respect.

    Obviously you have none.

    Admittedly some of his taps happened to go to MFC mids today, but I think our expectations are so low of Jamar these days that today's performance would still be deemed hopeless by every other AFL club.

    He needs to do himself a favour and retire. Stay on as our ruck coach but for god's sake put yourself out of our misery please!!!

    Stay on as our ruck coach you must be kidding.

    Please put yourself out of misery for suggesting that.

  • Quote

    Show some respect mate, sure he's playing average but he did beat Cox in hitouts. He is a hundred game player for the Club that we love, give him a bit.

    "Hitouts" is the most useless stat in the game. What good is winning a hit out if it doesn't go to our advantage? None.

    He had one kick today which was ineffective. He has had ONE effective kick for the year. Get Spencer in of put Clark in the ruck, Jamar is not only poor he is actually a liability to the team.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
