    Well I stand corrected. This is why I’ll need to think about it.

    Yeah. Stand by your thought that the leading tackler on the ground can’t lay a tackle. Good lad.

    I said I stood corrected on his tackling stats at that point P-Man. His second half tackling has also been very good.

    I stand by my thoughts he isn’t up to it and adds very little.

    Instead of attempting to belittle me, enlighten me on his upside?

    Oh many pardons. Am I belittling you? I‘m terribly sorry. 

    Please return to your zealousness to sink the boot in. I’ll stop hurting your feelings.

    Not sure where the so called hurt feelings come into it, but thanks for the pompous reply.

    Now as per my previous post, please let me know your thoughts on JKH’s positive future at the Melbourne Football Club.

    Why did you ignore half his post? What is JKH's upside?

    I don't see it either. But I think he gives it a real go. I'm just not sure he's fast enough to lock down a position.

    I thought he did alright today. Finished with plenty of tackles and looks hungry for the ball

     

    Has definitely improved since his last game

    Did enough in last qtr to keep his spot. Tackle count good. We need guys who hunt down tackles

    He tackled strongly and he was quite neat with the ball at times and quick to release.  Had some poor moments but worth another chance.  Probably playing in a position not suited to him as well (wing).

    yes i think its a bit premature to start calling for his delisting. his first game in a while and he did a lot better than some others. Showed a little give him a little more time, he could be pretty handy.

    First half was soft as always.

    Got in some late game tackles.

    Is and always will be depth.

    JKH hadn't played at AFL level for a while

    Worked his way into the game

    Agree,  and with 9 tackles he's earnt another crack despite the slow start .

    In for another week of the key to getting a game is being a competitor.

    His job shouldn't be to get 40 touches. That's what we have Clarry and Gus for. If he gets blokes thinking twice when taking their time to size to their options, then keep him in.

    Did a great kick to Hogan for a goal. 8 tackles Give him some credit

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
