WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JAY LOCKHART

[chookrat 4,268]

I have it on good authority that Jay Lockhart will line up for the red and blue on Saturday.

[DeeZone 10,100]

A rapid rise indeed, good luck Jay (no pressure).,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spirit of norm smith 16,581]

Great news. He deserves the game.  Good preseason and one of the best in last weeks practice game for Casey.

This would have to be one of the biggest surprise selections of all time.

Amazing that he is fit enough to step into AFL football after a week!

Why, we need more run in the side. The 666 will allow more small players in.

The tall sloths will struggle.

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Named back pocket? 

I genuinely have no idea where he's been playing at Casey or what kind of attributes he has to offer the side.

Anyone other than the bearded-one care to shed some light?

Good article on Jay on his journey the past 18 months.

Great first goal.   He could be the small forward we desperately need.

 

 

[dazzledavey36 55,316]

He roughed up and crunched Joel Selwood a couple of times.

Thats enough for me to deserve another game next week.

[Skuit 10,031]

Is Jay now the all-time leader for time in the AFL to fist goal in the AFL?

[What 18,810]

Lockhart is about the only thing keeping  me interested at the moment.  Has kicked some lovely goals already.. has great goal sense.  I feel he may snag a couple of bags this season as he gets more comfortable and our mess of gameplan is (hopefully) sorted out.

If Goody moves him from the forward line I will scream.

Yes has some class about him

[Elegt 872]

I like this kid, he adds pace and toughness to the side. Just needs to work on his consistency

Won’t be long before the club sucks the life out of him.

[monoccular 17,573]

Why do the supposedly professional organisations known as MFC & AFL still  list him in websites as number 0?

They're waiting for another  '0',  to become available...  and the number  '7', mono.

Then he'll be licensed to thrill.

.

He may also be waiting for a locker ?  ?

He’s not used to the speed of the game yet - has been done for holding the ball at least once per game and isn’t in games for long enough. I like his attributes, but in my view it’s unrealised potential with a few cameos per game at this point. Would be developing in the VFL ideally if our first choice flankers in Hannan and AVB weren’t out.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Has some footy smarts and shows some dynamic manic movement.  Love the attack and instinctive way he takes the game on.  Getting caught is part of the game, no problems with that as long as the awareness evolves over time and it becomes the exception.

Give him at least 2 to 3 game blocks until he looks like he's ready to take on more.

We need more of these types but taller, if theyre out there, to add some marking / intercept / spoiling ability, and manic gut running with some initial burst speed.  The marking side critical since losing Hogan, Howe and Lever (till he returns).

Lockhart should own the vacant small defender role given Jetta is out until round 13-14.  

He has shown his AFL standard. 

He played there at Casey last year and shutdown a lot of small forwards.  Has class and pace and knows how to tackle.  Probably gets puopolo this week.

Just here to blow my own trumpet.

Jay Lockhart Man Crush -  Activated

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,778]

Was great today

Desperation to catch the Hunt pass at the end was GOLD

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,510]

May have found a player here!

Great game today and looking more and more comfortable each week.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Thought he was good all day, added something different.

Previous weeks he has started ok and then faded, but he kept it up for 4 quarters today.
