The former All Australian ruckman has slowed down in recent years and after a good start was left out in preference to the younger big men and finished off his playing career at the club in the finals at Casey.

    Reckon he'll get picked up as a delisted free agent by the Cats as ruck insurance.

    Should have been traded after 2012, but instead we gave him a fat new 3 year contract - thanks again, Neeldy. I can only assume his selection in the early rounds was aimed as motivation for Gawn, because Jamar was pretty ordinary for the most part. It was good to see him go back to Casey and do everything he could to help the Scorps out.

    And who would have rucked for us in 2012?

    Mark my words - the decision to delist Jamar was made far too hastily and has the potential to damage the fabric of our great club. The way we treat our club stalwarts is a disgrace. He had at least another 2 good seasons in him - not to mention that a lot of the development of Gawn is attributable to Jamar's tutelage.

    Sorry Mrs Jamar but your son was cooked.

    I'm not saying he was still best 22 on a weekly basis however the leadership and guidance he provided to our younger players was underrated by many. I've no doubt that if we don't redraft him as a mature age rookie one of the contending teams with a ruck shortage (e.g. Bulldogs) will pounce

    It never ceases to amaze me how people lay the blame for all list management decisions during his coaching career on Mark Neeld.

    If he's to blame for those then what about the shockers that were made during Neale Daniher's time or Dean Bailey's? There were a lot more and they were far worse.

    You really need to get your facts straight.

    Not much room for non jumping rucks in the big league .

    He had his day and tried his best. He just got old.

    No resentment towards Jamar. Played a role and most of the time did it reliably. He was on the decline but had to fill the spot till Gawn was right. Now we have to figure out if Gawn can build his tank to ruck 90% like Goldstein or if we will groom someone else to take 30-40% of the load

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
