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.

  • Quote

    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...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
