Mark Jamar... Shape up or ship out

Further to that, he has averaged 2 marks per game this year.... not good enough... and had kicked 2 goals from 9 games compared with Gawn who has 6 from 6

I agree that his output hasn't been acceptable however you can't compare goals.

Gawn played 90% of his time up forward and 10% in the ruck.

Jamar was the opposite. I don't think he is the type to take a few bounces down the members wing and slot one from 55 either

    No he is not going to take a bounce and slow one from the wing but neither is Gawn.....

    Good ruckman these days need to have a presence down forward and when Jamar was at his best 10/11 he was kicking goals too.

    I think until the end of this year...
    Have Gawn as number one ruckman. Have Jamar in a forward pocket/flank and have him relieve.

    Remember, Russian is coming to the end of his career and is a life member. In handling this, the club needs to be delicate. We have burnt way too many blokes on the way out an it needs to be relayed to Russian that he can still have a role at the club by helping the next generation come through. If we wreck another relationship (Flash is another who will be going soon), we may be speaking of our late 00's to 2010's in a similar way that Richmond speaks of their late 80's/early 90's. A period of scorched earth where club servants were simply told to POQ.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
