WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JAY KENNEDY-HARRIS

Good to see we are measuring our expectations. Jack watts says hi

Hopefully Watts follows his example of taking the game on, and play on your natural instincts. We've seem glimpse's of what he is capable of, time to put it all together.

Really interested to see how JKH backs up next game, we've been screaming for a small forward with goal smarts for years.

 

I see JKH every second night, walking down that subway with his headphones on, worried about shadows that turn out to be protective services officers. ^_^


Reckon there is abit of Matty Stokes about this kid? maybe Christiansan?

Stokes for sure. Neat kick, little bit of pace, gets to the right spots all the time.

Christensen is a much more inside player, he's not bad in space but his real talent is stoppages.

I didn't see this post earlier, my bad.

In the video posted when drafted I thought his kicking very average as they seemed to sit up a lot.

Watching him Friday night his kicking was quite good.


Just wondering what others who have been down to training thought about this......

JKH is the most intense trainer I've seen at a Melbourne training session. He trains as if he has Roos watching his every move. His hands at ground level are ridiculous at full pace, lightning quick, his skills are very sharp, and his work rate from what I've seen is the highest on the track. His highlight reel from last year showed a kid who played on at all costs and backed his pace. Combine that with our lack of successful small forwards and it's something to get excited about.

Just something to be positive about after a difficult decade. And I know positivity is a rare occurrence on here and will probably get picked off by the haters.

JKH is on fire!

From reading the above link we are obviously blessed to have this dead gorgeous fine young man as one of our neighbours

Would the club support him, if he wanted to continue his acting career? Do we expect him to give up acting?

JKH in an ad for PSO's:-

So I suppose we have our PSOs to thank for the fact that a young black man can at last walk alone in a deserted train station tunnel late at night without fear of reprisal.

Acting** can be pretty time consuming, so I would say it would be very much on the back burner if he wishes to reach and stay at top level AFL, which he appears to do.

**(unless you are referring to a certain #18 ex Essendon full forward of course, who combined footy and acting extremely well)

No you can thank our stars that we have another indigenous star on our list who is the best think since Davey and Farmer combined!


What a Super-Star this guy is!

Yeah, Paul Van der Haar was great in Titanic. Not so keen on him in Indepenence Day. ;)

For those who can remember big Bob Johnson. He was the king of the actors and could play footy pretty well as well.

What a Super-Star this guy is!

I loved his clip when he was drafted. He showed energy, skill and work rate. Now he proved that he can do it at AFL level. Exciting prospect.

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 his teammates moved their ass and came over to congratulate the kid, given how special a moment that would've been for him. Must be asking too much!

Deserves a start next week. A tiny glimmer of light when he came on. Needs game time.

Was definitely the spark missing in the first quarter. I'd be disappointed if he still hasn't earned a starting position for next week in Roosy's eyes. Really need to use that sub jacket as a rocket up the ass for players who aren't delivering (Trengove??)

Completely agree - so it's worth adding that Frawley came all the way from the backline to congratulate him along with two others who happened to be nearby (and whose identities I've now forgotten). So well done JKH and Frawley.

JKH showed some of the older players what was required. Gave a real spark to the team and I would love to see him start.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • 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.
