Footy Classified just reported that he has been told that he's "not welcome" at the pies. Find that statement hard to believe, but anyway, he's gone

    Not so Jolly ??

    the big question is....

    who would you rather

    Jolly or Jamar?

    TBH, I think Spencer, Gawn and Fitzy are our future, and don't really think the MFC requires either.

    Not welcome? What does that mean?

    Jolly by a long way. Interesting that he's been linked to us a couple of times. Maybe a straight swap, Jolly becomes our number one Ruckman for a year on the proviso that he stays on a as ruck coach in 2015 and beyond, Collingwood get a Ruckman (Jamar) that can mentor Grundy and Witts. Odd, maybe, but could work - assume Roos and Jolly have a good relationship

    Wouldn't want him as a player, coach perhaps.

    neither.......now

    We have already had him once, I don't think we need him again, especially as he is now old and worn out.

    If we want a ruck coach, invite Jeff white back to the club.

    I dont think that Spencer/Gawn are good enough to ruck solo at the moment.

    We need a experienced ruckman still

    His body is just about shot and he is beyond his best

    It's shame we got rid of him to start with!

  • Quote

    I think there must be something wrong. His attitude has been weird with his articles. I don't think anyone likes him. Lets not go there.

    Why keep Jolly when Grundy is tearing it up and Witts is a very handy big man. Grundy will be the best ruck in the AFL in 3 yrs IMO.

  • Quote

    According to OTC tonight, Shaw, Maxwell, Thomas, Lynch are also on the outer.

    The Pies will need another tall to help out Cloke.

    Ironic really. I'm happy we landed Dawes.

    Not a huge fan. Comes across as whiney.

    White actually runs his business through the Gold Coast, and does some casual coaching at the Suns too.

    Q has been an utter failure. Dawes is clearly better.

    How he slipped to pick 18 or so in last year's draft still intrigues me.

    This bloke slagged off Neale Daniher. Should never be welcomed back at the club.

    Grundy is more of a steal at pick 18 than Darling was for WCE at 27 (or whatever it was).

    Edit: I can tell you are intrigued, Ron, by the look on your avatar face!

    Jolly has had a stellar career since the Dees lured a reluctant cabinet maker from Lexton(?) to try his luck in the big time. Watching him play this year it seemed the game had passed him by.

    I am happy with Spencer and Gawn leading our rucks with Fitzpatrick and the perenially injured Jamar providing occasional back up when required. Would also rookie a developing ruckman.

    Why do either need to ruck solo. From my reckoning Will Minson is the only solo ruckman actually doing it competently, each team really needs two rucks out there. Sydney seems to have 3-4 options...

    Yes one burnt out ruck man for another.

    Jolly is finished after a great career. Jamar is in the shadow of his career and nearly done.

    Really why would either side bother?

    And I am sure Roos would know better than most what Jolly is capable going forward.

    "Not welcome" sounds very sinister. Do they just mean "thanks for your time but your time is over". Or is there something more going on? A lot of people leaving the pies, onfield and off.

    Buckley may have been a terrible choice.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
