It was good to see Jayden playing some decent football in patches, but it still feels as though he is capable of so much more. I'm not sure that he is best 22 in a full strength forward line playing his current role. 

Jayden's gamestyle does not go well with the modern high possession game.

As a forward he is a stop gap for players like Melksham when injured.

Another project for the coaching team to work out how to leverage his skills.

Perhaps something as revolutionary as leaving a fast forward around the 80metre line so Hunt can kick to space for the forward to run onto.

As a fwd he's hard to stop on a lead and he can lay a tackle. The fwd pressure was sadly lacking this year from most but he equipped himself quite well.

He's a small forward with ability to jump for marks.  Our fastest small forward to create pressure, and kicked our second most goals.  With a better forward line he could boost 20 goals to between 30 and 40.    That's our problem - where do the goals come from.  He's a necessity.

I thought he was the best of our experiments as a non key forward. I'd like to see it continue and have him specifically trained & coached in that role over the pre-season. We may have only scratched the surface of what he has to offer there

Quite apart from his attacking roles as a forward and his ability to kick goals, his run and ability and willingness to chase defenders is really important.  The more he works on this the better he will become.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
