Jamar could have already signed with bummers if he really wanted to

i reckon he might be waiting to see if he can play in his home town, plus a team that will win more than lose. who'd blame him?

    Except that if he really wants to play, he's more likely to get a game at Essendon. I could see him playing primarily as a key forward, helping Luenberger out as necessary. Allows McKernan to go to defence where the Bombers are deficient in big men.

    I wish him luck

    The only silver lining in this whole Essendon disaster is that 11 players will get to have another crack at top level footy.

    If I was a Dons fan my reaction would be even worse. I'm sure they will delude themselves into thinking he will be a gun for them. I wonder what they are saying on the fan sites.

    Jamar was all set to play for St Kevins in the Amos whilst doing part time ruck coach at the Bombers.

    Essendon have obviously talked him into joining as a top up player.   For a lot more cash.

    I can't understand why people bag him for this.    Please don't tell me it is on moral grounds otherwise the dons would not be able to field a side.

    Jamar was done as a Melb player. 

    Good luck Russian, I hope you play well but your club loses every game.

    Now we will know what it is like to have a ruckman who can win a hit out.

    ----

    At least we now have someone to replace Leuenberger.

    ----

    Happy to get him was unlucky to be turfed last year by roos for gawn
    Averaged 8 Disposals, 30 hit outs, 3.6 tackles and 1.6 marks last season
    Not the worse more hitouts then we got in the whole of last season

    ----

    If we beat one side this year, let it be Port with Jamar dominating.

    ----

    As long as we keep attracting players and support staff from clubs with some sort of connection to Dank/Robinson then im perfectly happy.

    ----

    Good news at last, this is the second best signing behind Crowley.

    Good luck to Russian but he is paat2 it as an AFL player. Even at Casey he wasn't even dominating at all.

    Il back a fully fit and stronger Max Gawn come round 1.

    All these ex-senior players, gotta wonder how many kept in shape since retiring? I could see them getting very tired by about round 8 or 9, but could be dangerous in the first third of the season.

    He retires, gets offered a decent amount of money to play for year - it would have been in excess of $200K - there is not a reason in the world to say no.

    ( the moral ground doesn't exist any more - those who were found guilty are being punished and have done or are doing their time ).

    Good luck Russian. Play well except against us.

    I find myself compromised here. I totally understand his need for a job etc etc ..and is his to choose. However he's dead to me until he retires from this fiasco of a club  and returns one day to be welcomed by his old mates.

    Hope Gawn uses him as a toy

    I don't get why anyone would begrudge him.

    It's one more year of footy, good money, additional exposure which could lead to other opportunities off the field (e.g.- coaching). Jamar also has a kid on the way, so good on him for extracting another year of top dollar footy salary! 

    The players joining Essendon now have nothing to do with the drug saga and don't deserve to be tarnished with the same brush.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
