NO HYPHEN?  

JKH mysteriously lost his hyphen or perhaps it was never there? Whatever the case, he did manage to get in a handful of games at AFL level and his contract was extended by another 12 months. Had his moments but not enough for best 22.

    A good example of a player who does exactly what the coaches ask of him. Has some limitations, but will be a handy depth player that the coaches trust to do a job.

    I had him pencilled in as a delisting at the start of the season, good on him for extending his career.

    Very lucky boy compared to Bugg & Pedersen.  Was disappointing when given senior games.  Is ok when he gets the ball with time & space but is very poor in traffic & fails to take half chances.

    In the VFL Grand Final was brilliant in the first quarter then completely disappeared as Box Hill slowly got on top so I reckon he is extremely lucky to get another deal.

    An ordinary player who played a few games at the end of the year which saved him from being delisted. JKH needs a big year.

    He actually showed more at the end of this year than seen previously, the fact that he got games from a coach that does not seem to play favourites suggests the penny has dropped and he is doing what he is asked (although I don't think anyone has accused him of an attitude). I do see him as depth though and not best 22.

    Showed improvement through the year and his last game against GWS was his best game.  Unlucky to be dropped for finals.  The FD clearly rate what he offers ahead of other depth - McCartney is a fan.

    He must be disciplined in his game plan and positioning, he sticks his tackles and is generally a neat kick now that he has is used to the pace of AFL vs VFL. Works very hard at training.

    I'm comfortable with him on the list. There is a small probability of break out worth considering.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
