Actually, not a bad idea. Perhaps a club needing an experienced ruck with salary cap pressure might give up a pick around 25-29 for Jamar if we paid half his contract?

I'm half optimistic Moonie but in my wildest fantasies I couldn't imagine anything like that for Jamar!! As Jman said - we'd have to pay someone to take him.

Pardon me for trying Bitty. Should I join the brigade pooh-poohing all posters who put up left field suggestions?

I'm still enjoying the trade action today and am hoping for further opportunities.

One possible downside of our very successful trade period so far is that Zac may fall out of our reach.

But then perhaps all the other potential suitors have heard the very strong rumours about his really bad knees - only expect a season or maybe two maximum out of them. And "the other issues"!

has he got knee issues as well? Geez, poor kid. dicky knees ontop of his ankylosing spondylitis. I hope he'll make it to 30.

I have zero interest in Zac Jones because he's a Brother of a current player. I couldn't care less.

I'm interested in him because he sounds like a younger and better version of Terlich. U18 All-Australian defender and Vic Country's MVP. Can apparently play midfield too.

The fact that he is Nathan's brother adds 'intangibles', would make his transition into AFL footy much easier.

True, Zac has to be chosen on merit alone.

But if our pick comes down to two players of equal ability then Jones Jnr should get the nod. Yes footy is a business but there should also be room for sentiment and heart.

Does Kate Upton have a sister?

Yes but nobody has any interest in her!

I definitely would rule him out because of this fact. Yeah because his football ability is undeniably linked to the fact that his brother plays for MFC.

I wouldn't rule him out because of it and I wouldn't rule him in because of it.

Pick players on merit.

I agree they should always be picked on merit AND to fit into the needs of the club list and its gameplan. This is something I think Roos does brilliantly.

Just as a matter of interest see how many brothers we can name who have played for the Dees. I'll start off:

Flowers: Robbie and Tom

Johnstons: Terry, Tassie and Bob (although I rather suspect they were cousins)

Cordners: Dennis, Don and Ted

Macdonalds: James and Anthony

Stynes: Jim and David

Can anyone name any others?

Matthew Febey was Stephen's twin

Why on earth would the MFC put his highlights on the club page right now? It's no good for anyone.

If the club don't pick him at 9 it may have only got his hopes up (and some fans), and he won't be around by our next pick. Alternatively if they are advertising we are keen to select him at 9 it's just a stupid move.

I like Zac Jones but this was a poor decision by the media person in the club today.

Did the MFC put these clips up, or did they originate from AFL /NAB?

I love the way he attacks the ball - like his bro - but I guess his disposal is why he isn't mooted top 10-20. Only hits a few targets.

It's just the usual pick up of an article on the AFL site:

afl.com.au/news/2013-10-21/keeping-up-with-jones

It does no harm, i doesn't say anything to imply MFC is after him, so where's the potential disappointment or pick 9 issue? It keeps MFC in the news, is positive and I expect it will go into any portfolio we put together to lure a sponsor. Where's the harm. Maybe BB is right - you're not serious?

The article does mention his 22yo brother Josh as well! Who does he play for? (Hard to beleive as the brother in the middle that he would be hopeless!)

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
