You stated it as a fact, not an opinion.

but sadly he has played his last game at AFL level which is a shame.

Maybe next time you should highlight that.

      He didn't look to have explosive acceleration and was burned off by a few players in the port game (I actually breathed a sigh of relief when he was swapped to the bench and Hunt came back on).

     I would like to know what the footy department thought about what an additional preseason would offer him.  If they thought he could add some speed to his tank, then I say offer him another contract.  

    I think you will find out early next month that the coaching staff think his speed will never be found again. Simpy a massive liability in todays frantic defensive game.

    Will be amazed if he is kept on. One of the great shames of our past decade, was Jacks injury.

    What?

    It all comes to what role the club wants him to play and his personal view.  IN a well structured team a highly skilled, calm presence is more important that speed. I hope he gets another year in some form.  He is still young 25 and has a lot to offer.  unfortunately his two games seems to have mirrored Grimes, a good win and then a poor team game.  Hopefully that won't be held against him.  We'll know end of season.

    Jacks a ripper bloke and i would.love him to be able to make it.  But with our abundance of inside miss and his lack of outside pace i cant see him cementing a spot permanently.

    Wouldn't mind him.getting another yr but sadly like Grimes a ripper bloke but the games gone past him.

    I was all for Jack getting a game in the ones when Bernie was suspended.

    I thought he deserved a chance to show what he could do to make a case for 2018.

    He got his chance. He wasn't up to it. Whether anyone likes it or not, his career at the MFC is over.

    I think at this point we can close the book on this one. He gave it his best shot coming back from injury but he will never make up the yard of pace that he lost when he injured his lisfranc.

    It is an interesting one.  We all would love to see the story develop and him find his place.  Perhaps he is the backline general aka Lewis - what would one more preseason do for development (since he has been stuffed for so long).  He didn't look to have explosive acceleration and was burned off by a few players in the port game (I actually breathed a sigh of relief when he was swapped to the bench and Hunt came back on).

    However, he may have a future as the 'steady head' in the back half, that is the 100% reliable outlet passer.  He can take a tough grab, we know he can stick a tackle, he has footy smarts and is a good ball user.  If he was able to run both ways and hold the structure, as well as break for outlet passes, he could be a real beauty for us.

    That is all a big 'if'.  I would like to know what the footy department thought about what an additional preseason would offer him.  If they thought he could add some speed to his tank, then I say offer him another contract.  Otherwise, like Lyndon Dunn, he doesn't really fit the game style that Goody is trying to build at the club.

    He didn't lay 1 tackle against north. That essentially spells the end in a Goodwin side

    He had the Navicular injury, Col.

    It's all a bit sad, but that's footy.

    He was serviceable in our win over Port, but was completely out of it against North.

    He just doesn't have the tools anymore to make a decent go of it, with the manic way footy is played these days.

  • Quote

    Maybe he could be an inside mid and move one of our Insiders out a bit . He has got a terrific footy brain.

    Another player that could of really been something, but lady luck was never on his side.

     

    Being burdened with Captaincy at such a ridiculous age certainly did his career no favours as well.

     

    Cant see him pulling on the guernsey again. Certainly good enough for Casey, but for the seniors - its all past him now.

    Like others I feel sorry for the guy and I suspect that those who are calling time on his career at senior level are correct. However, he has only played 2 games, one okay the other not. There are others who have been given more games than Jack.

    All the same, despite being a massive JT fan, I feel his senior days are over.

    Delisting him shouldn't be the end of his career as a Demon however and I would love to see him continue with the Casey Demons and be part of a succession of VFL Premierships. He is too much a part of our Club to not be around when we achieve success and albeit if he is not on our senior list, I am sure that the Club could find a role in our reserve list at Casey!

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
