I like our trading and picks this year they show some real clarity of purpose.

An even top 10 so we traded up to 2 "top ten" players instead of one.

JHK fills a gap and sounds like he is a Roos hard working type.

We clearly have a no DH policy now.

Even if some of the choices dont work I have a sense of confidence about what they are trying to achieve and that must be being felt by the playing group.

    This was my favourite selection of last night.

    Think he will be a good one - a hard at it/defensive Jamie Bennell (what I always wanted).

    Don't think he will take to long to slot into the team and like that he can play midfield.

    Is it just me or does he look like Christensen?

    Except on Demonland. Pity. (No, I don't mean you, Robbie57)

    Jeez, Billy...

    He won't just be asked to play small forward though, he will have to move into the rotation and from reports he was comfortable doing that. Seems incredibly mature for a draftee and as I said, is at uni already, I think he is a small chance to start Rd 1 if he stays injury free.

    2014 rpfc Prediction: 8 games ave 8 K, 3 H, 2 M, 1 G, 3 T.

    Be interesting to see how he goes after an AFL preseason. If he can develop a tank his speed will stay more constant.

    He might be that what ever you get hen you mix up a Farmer/Davey/Ballantyne/Riolli etc.. ours might just be a Kennedy Harris

    He always seems composed. That of course will now be sorely tested but we need a small lively type in the arc.

    Seems we had an eye on him for a while.

    oh well bring on 14

    go Dees

    Clubs have many small forwards who we hope JKH has the same qualities as. Why do some compare him to just fellow indigenous players when there are plenty of other players with non-indigenous backgrounds with similar skills?

    because.......thats more than often who they are....the indigenous ones.. Do we just ignore that .... Seems pretty f'n obvious to me

    For the interests of this thread, I have deleted my posts. In no way were they meant to be of a racist manner, and I apologise if anyone was offended.

    Welcome to the Melbourne Football Club Jay. If you can turn out to be half the footballer of another small forward, Stephen Milne, we will have a beauty on our hands at a relatively cheap pick. (Nb. I'm talking about onfield results).

    You gotta love this kids footwork, in, out, step, kick. Haven't seen this quick movement since the Wizard.

    Quality guy as well. Determined and self motivated. Dad passed away when he was 13. Studying science at Melb Uni. Super keen to make something of his chance in the AFL.

    looking forward to having a nickname for him

    I cant stand people with 2 surnames, it is so faggy

    That's a really mature appraisal.

    Well done. Your parents must be proud.

    Anyway, happy with this pick.

    JKH should be the best small forward prospect we've had in years.

    I was going to suggest Julian Clary as a nickname.

    In honour of the 50 year anniversary of the assasination of JFK today, I move that Jay Kennedy-Harris' nickname from this day be:

    JHK

    Just switching the K and the H around.

    HH's rather distasteful comment got me thinking how about calling him Neil Patrick short for How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris.

    So there you go I'll be calling him Neil Patrick, get on board people.

    How about Jay?

    Or Jay but with a G.

    Really liked the look of JKH in the highlights package. Love his pace. First option was always to take the game on. Has a certain "X Factor" that we've been lacking.

    Looking at the sample of highlights, it doesn't seem like his kicking is a problem, rather his decision making. Seemed to only feel comfortable banging it long to a contest.

    Has a lot to learn and as per usual, I will follow his progress closely. Good luck to him.

    With Kent and Jay, we now have two different types of small forwards. I think we will be ok for that role now and can bolster other areas.

    There is no doubt we will be a different combination over the next few years.

    There goes that MFC optimism surging again in the pre season.

    It's junior footy, take it you haven't watched much, they still play a lot of man on man, he was trying to kick to advantage, up to the forward to get off his man

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
