Maybe more.

Congrats JKH on his first goal in AFL footy, in only his second game (and his second time as the sub)! Even had another shot or two but couldn't get it through the big sticks. Would've been great if

On last night's form, I simply cannot see how he won't make the grade. Could very well play 400 games for the club.

Interesting comparison with The Wizard Jeff Farmer who was 174cm 80kg when he played for us. JKH is about the same.

Lack of height never hurt Jeff. I remember one year he should have won mark of the year.

1998 vs. Richmond...I remember that mark so clearly; probably the best that I've seen live (I live overseas so have missed many of Jeremy Howe's)

was that not also the year where he ran the length of Waverly, and won goal of the year? I remember thinking he should have been awarded both the mark and goal of the year.

They gave it to one of the softest players' to have ever played the game in Winston Abraham.

That was it, same year.

Abraham's was a good mark coming in from the side, but I thought Farmer's was better.

Iirc it was the last round of the season, and we thumped Richmond.

Tingay was in great form that day, streaming down the wing.

Punt Rd end, Farmer out of seemingly nowhere, launching off of Lyon's back, getting so high it was a simple chest mark.

The stadium erupted.

Let's not put expectations on him just because he is training well. At the end of the day, he is a first year player drafted at 40-odd, so we should set our expectations based on that.

Maybe he was 'drafted at 40-odd' but he was also our 'second pick in the AFL Draft' after our astute trading to bolster the midfield. i am optimistic that when the season proper commences it will reveal that our recruiting team this year have done a good job and made some astute moves, JKH being a prime example and I am confident he will surprise many.

We got a good one, I've specked him for the 2014 brownlow.

I'm really impressed with this kid so far. Even though Roos has said that the new draftees will be eased into AFL football next season, I'd put him as a smokey for round 1.

In that case, you'd think he would be an absolute monte for the NAB Rising Star. :lol:

Yes a very good option for the rising star [along with Viney, Toumpas, Hogan, Salem, Kent and Barry]

Sorry but I beg to differ. Under the AFL Rising Star rules you have to have played 10 or fewer senior games before the start of the season in question so that means Dean Kent (15 games in 2013), Jimmy Toumpas (14) and Jack Viney (13) are all out of contention.

Well it was worth a try. Happy to see JKH, Hogan, Salem and Barry feature nevertheless!

Is Michie still eligible?

To be eligible for nomination, a player must be under 21 on 1 January of that year and have played 10 or fewer senior games before the start of the season.

Michie turned 21 in 2013 and is therefore not eligible.

Four rising star nominations will suffice for 2014 however lovely to see jkh take out the ultimate prize. Loved his confidence to be named as a Round One starter in the latest interview.

I'm developing some man love for this fella without him having played yet. He just looks so clean and quick, and has confidence to boot.

Clearly off season is getting to me already.

YOU are excited!! I am, and haven't even cast eyes on him !!!

GO DEES. BRING IT ON.

JKH

Also known as the Jumping Knievel Hobbit and I expect this is how he will come to play.

Jumps like Wiz!

Knievel like Recklessness!

Hobbit like abilities going unnoticed on field!

Can only hope!

But all reports seem impressive from training.

I think JKH will get second. Since it'll be the first year a bloke wins both the Coleman and the RS.

And by the end of round 2 he will have racked up 4 games, kicked 20 goals and picked up 15 Brownlow votes.

Would love to see a 3 way playoff between JKH, Jack Viney and Chuck Norris.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
