Think they should do what they did with Jetta and move him to the back line where he could be handy.

We need other good small defenders apart from Nev.

Possible, but nev works well back there because he is so strong, JKH is light and quick which im not sure is as good for a defender put him against any of the established small forwards betts, rioli and the like he will just get outbodied. We already have hunt playing the speedy rebounder role.

I think JKH has more potential on a wing, a position that is still got hot competition: Stretch, Trengrove, Grimes are probably the front runners at the minute all of which he has the talent to surpass . Ik we have others like Harmes, Benken, Garlett and various midfielders rotating onto wings at different times but the first 3 play more permanant wing roles. I think Trenners is too slow for that position, he needs to be inside. Grimes' writing is on the wall in big bold letters. Finally Stretch is young and I think he's a gun but no reason why JKH cant give him a run for his money or work alongside him on the opposite wing. Give him an injury free pre-season and then talk trade/positional changes if he cant break in after that

 

I think an unfortunate reality for Jay is that he'll run out of time. His domain is the forward arc and thats now getting rather busy.  

Even when he gets his fitness back to an AFL level who is he going to surplant ?

Hes safe for this years cull...but  we're sure to be looking for players to move on come eos 17....he'll be one I feel.

Could White be the backup for Nev 'Angry'?

Thought White was great against GWS last year and his footskills were very good. Surprised to have not seen him so far this year but I suppose it shows how far we've come in terms of depth.

He certainly could be. Just not in your traditional mold.

He's 188/189cm and can play on talls as well as smalls. I rate him highly and can see him landing a role in a BP or HBF over the next few years.


Sad news. Horrible run with injuries. Unfortunately I just don't see a future with JKH. Doesn't have the assets to me to warrant as an investment player. 

 

I reckon a club would do well to rookie him.  He's worth a punt imo (assuming he's delisted subject to contract status).

It's really hard to say if he'd be rookied - as an outsider looking in.  It's been so long since we've been able to have a good look at him playing.  He has some real strengths, but also some significant deficiencies that he needs to have been working on.  Unfortunately, he hasn't been working through these as he's been injured so often.  

Hopefully he can snag a few matches for Casey at the end of the year.  

 

***** Just checked the contract thread - looks like he's signed on til the end of '17.  Good on him - hopefully can get a game or two at the end of the year and hit the preseason at full tilt.****

research


Every recruit gets a year in the medical room. Part of their contracts.

Wow, this hamstring injury has plagued him this year.

Another 4-6 probably means we don't see him playing senior footy this season.

 

Anyone want to fly the "flag of reality " here ? :o

The lad has options. He's quite clever , talented and capable.  Maybe Id be exploring those options if soft tissue injuries ( despite management ) are re occurring !

Yes tough call. Gets another shot in 2017 but would be under pressure to remain on the list.

under immense pressure right now surely  ... just saying.

I met Martin Flanagan (at the footy) through a mutual friend. He's a top bloke!! He even bought me a beer.  Love his writing too.

The X-box games generally get harder as you progress through the stages but he will be right.

i think he will get through .

I would feel safer if his two best mates were better players..

There seems to be a bit of confusion across these boards - is he not rookie listed?

If he's got until the end of 2017, I'm happy to see what Goodwin and Macca can do with him.

 

The medical / fitness guys will also have their work cut out too.

Seems to have them stumped at present :unsure:

He is, and due to the relatively (knock on wood) small injury list, it would be hard to promote him at present given that Michie has been promoted for King and Wagner was our nominated rookie. White requires another LTI to be promoted.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
