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.****

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      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.
