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.

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.

  • 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?
