On Twitter: .@melbournefc deny Paul Roos has come to an agreement with Mark Jamar to trade the ruckman who has two years remaining on his contract

Note: That's not an official MFC tweet but from Peter Ryan who works with AFL media

I don't think anyone really cares now (they are too excited).

    What about Jamar + Pick 2 for Jack Stevens and Pick 17

    Thoughts???

    If Jamars rumoured movement is true I expect the club to be silent until they had some possible suitors. With 2 years left on his contract it will be a huge embarrasment if they put him on the market with no likely takers.

    Mahoney hasn't categorically stated that Jamar is a required player going forward - to me that means he's on the move.

    I'd be happy for the equivalent of a soccer style "free transfer" to any club just to get that ridiculous contract off the books. (Maybe we could package Pederson in to the deal. lol)

    Another 10 yr player that OVERALL hasn't delivered

    Had one great year.

    I'm happy about this, more because it appears to have been handled well and amicable. It was a woeful decision to award him a 3 year contract at his age, but he has been a good servant of our club and I wish him all the best. I would certainly see Geelong as a potential fit, their rucks were terrible in the finals and although Jamar has been injury prone the last year I think he would make a good addition to their side.

    In terms of what we can get for him, I'd hope for a late 2nd rounder. More than likely we'll probably get a 3rd rounder though.

    Good luck Russian.

    theres a lot of 'football speak " in there. You know, the kind that says " we're right behind ( insert player/coach/etc)"

    i would have thought by now most would dismiss what's said and look to what happens. eh Paul :rolleyes:

    I suppose I should've gone through the entire post! Interesting that we've refuted the article, usually if there's truth to it they let it slide.

    I still think it would be the best move for both parties, but whatever happens happens.

    Well if they come out and say that they have agreed to part then that would probably lower his trade value.

    Whereas if we come out and say we are willing to trade him but he is still wanted then we might be able to get a slightly better deal.

    Do you really think that clubs are that silly.......All club think they know what they want and how much they are willing to give up.....Not having a go but clubs are smarter than that.....

    I think if we are getting rid of Jamar we need to get a new ruck prospect.

    Gawn - good but 2 knee recos

    Fitzy - a 2nd ruckman

    Spencer - VFL player

    We cant put all our eggs in one basket.

    Maybe Jamar to Freo for Jack Hannath?

    This may have been the conversation that never happened between Roos and Jamar:

    MJ" I hear you are speaking to Jolly"

    PR"Yep"

    MJ"Where do I fit in"

    PR"Second Ruckman behind Jolly"

    MJ"Thats Crap can you find me a trade"

    PR"If that is what you want we will try"

  • Quote

    The only thing worse than getting Jolly would be not trading Jamar if we got Jolly.

    However, personally I think Jamar is a likable guy and decent trainer. I'd keep him around if no one wanted to give us anything for him and make him pressure Spencer and Gawn into some reasonable football. And if we want to keep guys like Sylvia in the future the best way to do that is to stop trading away anyone over 30 so it sends a message you can complete a career at Melbourne.

    I would prefer Jamar to Jolly tbh, there is a reason Collingwood got rid of him, he will struggle to play out the year, unless this is a nice backup/combo with Gawn taking a larger role?

    I've been impressed when I've heard Jamar interviewed - showed intelligence and leadership. On the other hand I have heard that "decent trainer" is not necessarily accurate.

    We will get Jolly for a year Roos has offered him a spot. It is now up to him if he wants it.

    I wonder what we can get for him...

    Whether we can get a lot or little (more likely) for him, I can only presume his replacement with Jolly - a man begging for a position on another senior list will allow more playing room in the salary cap to poach other players (e.g. A quality midfielder).

    Anything acquired in a trade will be a bonus.

    I sense Roos would prefer to have a bit of a clean out of the NQR's. In Jolly he has someone who can at least compete at the elite level. He can do that whilst either Spencil or the Gawnski comes on , all the whiles coaching them. Theres value in that...a continuity too. Roos likes continuity :)

    Jamar not officially on the table until Jolly actually commits to playing on with us is my guess.

    I still wonder if we could float some sort of deal to the Aints for Ray. Unlikely I know but who would have suspected yesterday that Big Ben was on the move ?

    funny game footy !! :)

    Seems a tad pointless.

    And you deny until they're gone.

    Remember the second language of the AFL is lying!

    I think at that time when Jamar signed that contract, that Gawn, Spencer, & Fitz were under-performing with Gawn injured.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
