    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

Jamar up for trade



Recommended Posts

I'm really interested to see what as trade bait this opens up.

GWS certainly need a big body. Lions if the lose Longer. Pies, Hawks.

Offering Pick 20 with Jamar could open up a lot of different scenarios.

Shane Savage,

Dylan Shiel

But it wouldn't surprise if they have someone else in the back of their mind.

Trade time for the Dees is only just starting to move.Most of the other clubs have shown their hand.

We will pounce next week.

Some ( myself included ) half jokingly thought of Russian as a participant in a deal with the Munchkins for Shiel. I think Jamar in his own right wont be traded but will be part of a package of sorts to get some other deal over a line. He might prove some sort of tipping point ( ironically)

I'm glad we got to see the best of Jamar. Had a big struggle for a long time with PJ for the second ruck spot behind Jeff White. He kicked on when he needed to and made the ruck spot his, which a lot of players don't. Just wish he could have maintained his best. Injuries can be cruel though.

Great servant of the MFC. Thanks Mark.

Jamar is being traded moreso to get his money and contract of our books, as opposed to gaining us a great pick.

Don't be expecting a Pick 20 back he'll be lucky to net us a third rounder

Potentially we a trading out a clapped out old ruckman to trade in a much better clapped out old ruckman and teacher.

I will find the whole Jamar/Jolly very amusing, especially if we end up in front.

This is a good move by the Dees, but unlike many posting here, I was a fan of the Russian and thought his tap work was sublime at times. His last two years were a mess due to horrible coaching and constant injury. All the best at your new club - hope you get a few more years.

He is likely to be a sweetener in a package trade deal because he has so little currency left. However, at t club with a well organised, professional and capable midfield I reckon he still has a bit to offer.

Lets be honest this came from Greg Denham, so I wouldn't bet the farm on this.

The clubs that might be interested in adding an experienced ruckman would be (in no particular order) - Bris, GWS, Syd, WB, Carl, and maybe GC. All others have at least one good ruck and some backup.

Maybe we could work in Jamar with pick 2? He's our steak knives to get a good player, reasonable pick and steak knives?

Jamar won't go to GWS to sit behind Mumford - they wouldn't pay much for that either. If he's going to be ruck insurance he'll want it to be at a club contending for the flag and who knows what might happen. Hawthorn and Sydney are both possibilities I reckon.

You were always one of my favourites regardless of how you played.

Thanks Russian, its a shame to let you go.

Denham's been on the money recently....I for one don't see this at all far fetched.

Brisbane - Leuenberger (may grab jamar as insurance)

GWS - Mumford, Giles (don't need Jamar unless Giles leaves)

Syd - Pyke (may grab jamar as insurance)

WB - AA Minson (may grab jamar as insurance)

Carlton - Kreuser, Warnok (don't need Jamar)

GC - Have plenty of ruckmen

Honestly I'm stunned that any club would contemplate taking over Mark's two year contract.

The game has passed him by. He is too short at 198cm and can't jump. He has never offered much around the ground aside from one match against Carlton where he kicked 5 (and I think that was around the time they were not trying as hard as they could have). He is still a reasonable tap ruck but not part of our future

He will be 32 by the end of 2015 and won't get any quicker over the journey. I, like many here, had him playing third fiddle/ruck mentor to Gawn and Spencer next year.

If Roos can get someone/anyone to take on Jamar's contract then he is the messiah. Perhaps he can package him with Pederson too.

Get Jamar to GWS. Package it up. GWS surely can't value picks as highly as other clubs as they are chock full of your talent already, hence our best chance of a good deal lies their IMO.

Put it together with picks to get Shiel and other picks or another young player wanting out.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
