Im not sure Jack will be the player everybody wishes him to be

Lower our expectations he may turn out an ok footballer not a star never.

He is a HF and the quicker we get this into our heads the better

    I think he was recruited to be a mid and he will play his best footy as a mid.

    I'd love to know the effect of being 21 +/- and captaining one of the worst teams ever would have on Jack, surely it would weigh him down. I am sure he has fantastic leadership skills but it would be great to see him relieved of this and just go back to concentrating on playing footy.

    He may have groin issues like most think but I think his problem may be between his ears at the moment and just isn't confident.

    He got better at the end of the year, pretty sure he got over 20 touches in each of the last 3 or 4 and I am sure he will be a great player in years to come.

    He was indeed recruited as a mid but has probably played his best footy in or around both the HF and HB flanks. ( yes I know...mids can play there too ) but he hasnt set world on fire with us as a mid. He was tearing it up in the SANFL as one.

    Unfortunately if you take the rosey glasses off he has been somewhat underwhelming. Must be terribly frustrating for him and he mentioned that in a conversation. He has high standards and really has his heart in the right place. he tries 100% within his ability to do so and its that thresh-hold thats the problem . Hes unable to play to his utmost and he knows it. We know it too.

    its like he's playing with lead boots on.

    You wouldnt want to be doing that for too long at this level

    I am pretty sure 2011 was the year where we either won by a lot or lost by a lot.

    Apart from the Sydney draw of course. We just don't win many close ones.

    Must have been 2010 then.

    Maybe against Adelaide?

    I truly believe he had op or something similar last season. If any of you had the chance to see him after a game he could barely walk limped like an old man with a busted hip.

    • 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.
