A great servant of the club, and deserved so much more than he got under Roos. I hope he finds another club, because I think he still has plenty to offer.

I feel for Jack. His first few seasons were so exciting. I really thought we had a 200 game player and future club legend with Jack.

It just all fell apart. Good luck to him, he is a great guy and deserves a second chance.

I think we all feel for this bloke concidering the burden he had to hold on his shoulders as captain of the club at our darkest hour.

I have nothing but respect for him and wished he would be around when we become a successful club but because of poor development in his years at the demons, like a lot of young players over the past 10 years he never reached his full potential.

Thanks for signing my jumper when I met you in the race in 2011.

Good luck Jack on the rest of you journey, thanks for your service.

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
