That was not my point BB.

Isn't SPC's avatar Nathan Brown?

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
