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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
