Asked if he wants to stay at Melbourne, he paused, shrugged his shoulders and said something along the lines of, that's what I need to decide.

Same deal as Roos, can't have any half hearted soft [censored], either in for the long haul or right out the door, need to get someone with abit more heart in return.

    Horrible. Could not have been less of an endorsement. I'm genuinely peeved.

    A young player who hasn't got near reaching his potential, who has quite publicly had a swipe at his former coach and who is out of of contract and not wanting to sign until his struggling club get a new coach (ed) is going on the footy show.

    God, Jack's manager must be a jack off of the highest order

    Hey Rod you are so right JW is very poorly represented

    The least worthy panelist from a footy perspective I can remember.

    So what is he on for ?

    Idiot

    I'm wondering why Lyon would have let him on, presumably knowing the extent of his indecision.

  • Quote

    Clearly not happy with the club at the moment. If he wants out then let's get the best trade we can for him. Trade him for a promising young midfielder. We need midfielders!

  • Quote

    He will way up ALL options

    Jackie boys only real option is to play good footy and have a go He cant can he? Go away!

  • Quote

    Gone.

    V disappointing. May as well take the number 4 off the jumpers now. Another kick in the teeth for dees supporters.

    yep I feel gutted as a dees member

    MFC should seriously consider letting him know there is no place for soft [censored] on our list, and that he will be traded regardless of what he wants to do because he is nowhere near good enough to be holding the club to randsom.

  • Quote

    I'm trying to convince myself that he is genuinely weighing up options. Gut feel is not at all.

  • Quote

    He is GAWN! Time to find a trade that will benefit the club

  • Quote

    Stuff finding the best possible trade...don't delist him before the national draft and let him get gobbled up by GWS. At least he will be used to the floggings.

  • Quote

    No idea why the club OKed for him to go on the show when they are surely aware of his current mindset regarding our club.

    What sort of [censored] endorsement is that for our dying brand?

    ive heard it watts for gibbs!

    Play hardball, first round pick or he is off to the Giants.

  • Quote

    Bloody hell, loves the boys, loves PJ but wants out. What a big kick in the teeth.

    Anyone else in a bit of shock?

    Just like how GWS gave us a flogging this year?

    I'd say he has a very clear idea where he wants to go, and would have been thinking about it for some time.

    If I was him, I'd be gone too.

  • Quote

    GWS won't touch him and he'll end up at StKilda, cop it!

  • Quote

    Hmmm dunno,

    He sounded like someone that has to weigh up his future, sure it didn't sound good, but he sounds like he has faith also in Peter Jackson. Will hold judgement at the moment, and if he goes, we should get currency for him, if he stays lets hope the new footy director and coach can get the best out of him.

    I will agree with the comment someone made above regarding why was he allowed on the show... it doesn't paint him or the club in a good light.

  • Quote

    One of the most pathetic responses I've ever heard. It was feeble and I wouldn't be fussed if the club put him up for trade now. What a passenger.

    There was an opportunity to show some strength, and he passed. Winning doesn't just happen Jack, and it would be nice if you acknowledged some responsibility.

    Turning Melbourne around is a competitive persons job and football's full of them. See ya, Jack.

    I am one of them, but I feel sorry for the supporters. It's bloody hard.

    Not at all.

    If you are him, come up with 5 good reasons to stay?

  • Quote

    Unless Jack wants to put himself at the mercy of the draft the MFC can choose whether we agree to a trade. This is good advertising to get the best trade and a renewed board and FD could entice him to stay.

    He's had a pretty tough run since we drafted him and looks like he needs a fresh start.

    • 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.
