and Red that will have absolutely no relevance to  Jay's ability to get back on the paddock  ( for starters ) , consistently  and into the 22

That was not my point BB.

Correct Nasher, my boo boo. On a closer look it is Doggy Brown, not Harmes though they look similar.

I like JKH cos he has a crack but he's not good enough. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'd be looking at re-launching his acting career if I were him.

Gotta feel for the lad as it seemed like he was in contention for a rd 1 spot. It's going to be really hard for him to work his back into the team halfway through the season but best of luck to him.

Jay has plenty of talent and is only a 24 yo . Playing for Casey last season he  strung a number of games together and produced his best form by becoming a ball magnet with 30 plus possessions in games and ended up playing a number of games for Dees. IMO  he handled himself well and deserved his promotion.

I hope that he does receive the 2 year extension where it will give Jay confidence .He deserves it.

Rookie List possible Depending upon how last half of year goes.

Hope he can get through as I really feel he has improved since mid-season 2018.

Deserves a break of luck.

I consider JKH mostly pointless from a list perspective, but skip back just one page and everything being said now has been said before. Someone mentioned he'd been on our payroll for more than half a decade, and when framed like that it's quite the jolt. He's survived longer than pick 4 Jimmy Toumpas.

We have no room for sentiment anymore - unless he comes back with a vengeance this year, there will be no extension.

Not sure why you added the "pick 4" bit. Adds nothing.

Ladies and Gentlemen ...you can't keep them all.

For all his efforts, and credit to the lad he's given it a good go, he at his best is among our top 30. perhaps. He has lots of competition from some with more upside and more tricks in the bag.

Skuit sums up... it's all been said before. 

I wish the bloke a full and speedy recovery but just don't see him as being a keeper.

Cheers

To me JKH is an improver this year. He just misses jumping through to that edge of hardness in my book, and i think it's just around the corner. Good luck for the rest of his season. If i was his coach i would be making him wanted, because i know it helps.

I thought he was a chance for round 1. His JLT form was quite reasonable. While he is not in the best 22 he is a good depth player and deserves his place on the list. I hope he comes back strong.

Like Harmes, JKH has improved each season.   Not by huge margins, but significant anyway.

He has two way running and a tank, but isn't fast or particularly damaging. In general he is competing with ANB or the wings, however the 6 6 6 may mean pace on the wing becomes an important weapon, rather than playing a defensive winger. Also, with Lever back, we may be even less inclined to play a defensive winger because he is such a good reader of the play. 

 

The was a role for him last year

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
