Well done lad.

Might be a reflection of the sheer amount of list turnover we're experiencing this season, but still, congratulations to the kid. Hopefully he can get even better from here on in.

    Well done!  He fully earned it with his second half of the year.

    Has the ability. We need to keep some mature bodied depth players. He is not best 22 but best 30 so likely will get game time in 2019 and must take chances  

    Next step is to move from very good VFL player to week after week AFL standard. Big preseason. Bring it on Jkh

    good on him for sticking with it. not my fave by a long shot, but i admire his tenacity and how he's managed to add to his game with forward pressure and improved foot skills.

    Glad he’s staying but his second half of the vfl grand final was really not encouraging 

    Here’s hoping he continues to improve

    JkH well done and deserving a one year contract  after you battled hard to break into the line up  only to be unlucky not to hold your spot. However you are still young, talented and have a chance to take the next step to become a very good consistent player. I believe that you will be our most improved player in 2019.  You have the capabilities.

    With the delistings, retirements and rumors swirling about vanders, Hogan and Kent it makes food sense to lock him up. He could be in the mix for round 1 given the potential list turnover.

    I'm hoping he has a massive 2019

    He looked gone for all money early in the year but really turned it around.

    All credit to him...

    Certainly getting most out of himself and won’t retire wondering what could have been.

    I wonder if he might be trialled down back next year?  Doesn’t have the speed or smarts to be an AFL small forward, struggles with the pace and skills in the midfield... could he be trialled as a small defender in the mould of Neville Jetta..?

    One year contact to see how he goes. FD still unsure so prudent thinking.

    Didn’t rate him, dropped the ball way too often, was a deer in headlights, this year tho, he seemed to be a bit more settled, seemed t9 concentrate on tackling and the defensive side of things.

    A one year deal seems the right amount.

    Well earned indeed 

    He worked hard on those defensive aspects as well as his tank,  but was also reliable user of the ball albeit not often in damaging positions

    I hope he continues to improve and gets to play ~10 games next year

    One year contract yells "cant let everyone go in one season"...need someone to play in the VFL and provide options ( some depth )

    If he has anything more to show...nows the time.

    He must be well regarded to have avoided the scythe cutting a swathe.

    Will have to really improve his composure with ball in hand if he's not going to be delisted at the end of 2019.

    With Tyson, Kent and AVB going, Vince retiring and Lewis and Jones probably in their last year, this is a very strategic decision. Perhaps he elevates from fringe to bottom 5 or 6 in 2019?

    I was pleasantly surprised with his form in those last few games he played. That might be at least in part because my expectations for him were rock-bottom, but still, I think this is a good call.

    He really surprised me this year.  He showed some real energy and grunt, and fully earned this 1 year contract. He might really surprise in 2019.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
