I would trade now while he might have some value. Not sure there would be any takers though.

IMO Spencer has gone past him.

    Absolutely one trick pony - tap ruckman whose high stat sheet hit outs don't even create clearances, or even reach his teammates. Offers nothing around the ground.

    Sandilands didn't have a great GF but I watched with interest his accurate taps to advantage, and especially his second efforts in the clearances, as well as a presence around the ground. Never saw any of that from Mark, sadly.

    That another older Ruck is being mentioned in association with us is of curiosity in regard to Mark.

    Never quite regained that form of his AA.

    Strangely though if Jolly was to come Id keep Russian and trade the Pencil as he would have more value and look to bring Gawn on. Draft another kid to groom for later.

    Though not influential any more he can keep the opposition honest, sometimes thats enough if your crumbers are up and alive.

    That is exactly what Hawthorn do with their ruckman, the difference is they have a great lot of midfield players and we have ...........

    ahhh...but what if that improved markedly ?? changes the need ruckwise...at least for a year or so.

    Jamar is contracted I believe til end of 15. Keep him..use his as needed. As many suggest his trade worth isnt that huge though a younger aspirant's would be. So why not capitalise on that value...and now.

    still..its just me here in the left field :)

    I agree with you bb

    Not sure there is anyone who would give anything of value .

    There is a reason we fell into two wins in 2013.

    The immediate reaction of most clubs is we have a lot of ordinary players on our list.

    IMO he has had one good season and a couple of serviceable years.

    Injury aside, he was one of the biggest disappointments in the early part of the season. Gave us nuthin'

    Called the donut king, but he gets his hand on the ball more than any other player at Melbourne. Unfortunately, tapping the ball to your feet is not a sport.

    Time has passed, sadly. I still wonder, every now and then, how on earth he managed to end up as our first ruck for so many years. I think Jeff White would probably still beat him one on one...

    • 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.
