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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
