Seriously not enough love for this guy. Throws himself at every content's and won some genuine won on won's down back. Loved his intercept mark in the first quarter also.

He shows a lot of traits of Jetta when he was at his peak.

Fantastic game tonight.

 

Yes he brings a lot of pressure and mostly solid with his disposal, good overhead as well, fits in very well in the back half and deserves his spot every week.

 

Am I right saying he is equally adapt on either side?

Yep.

Can just as easily play as a small forward and play it well also.

Remember his Freo and Hawks game last year?

I love Jetta ,but Lockart is his reincarnation . SImilar traits insofar as Courage, Toughness  and "Teamness". HAs been  extremely solid . Notice the other wekk when he appeared to fighting outside his weight range and May came in to help him out. Back six is gelling.

Love this guy but needs to check his stops. Slips over at crucial moments, that is his only downside. Otherwise he often attacks from back pocket to set up plays the opposition never saw coming. 

 

SOLID.  Better kick than Jetta too, more accomplished than I thought..


yep good game

just sometimes he puts a little too much mayo on his kicking, need to cut that out as a backman and take the easier kick option

agree about the stops

I’ve liked him from day dot. He’s a proper footballer. Will be around for a while to come.

Really excited by his development. Well done, Jay and Matty Egan.

He did slip a bit too much for my liking tonight, but he's got courage, he's got nice agility and is neat with his disposal. These are traits of Nev. Perfect replacement.


What I like about Lockhart is he's cool in a crisis. Oh and he has a red hot go. Compliments that backline well. 

Uncle Nev is gonna have to do something special to get back into this team.

He's the new rubberman, he's so energetic, never understood the dislike for the young man, paid his dues deserves respect from all now.

Just a point of order... there are some things that Jetta brought that Jay may develop.

Jets is really annoying to small forwards (and others). He has a nifty way of holding on without being pinged. I have heard, first hand, team mates complain about this in pre-season simulation training, to the point where Dunny once advised his team to, "just hit him"!

Jets rarely panics... if he is beaten he just fronts up for the next contest.

Jets knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.!

He's a beauty and can see him being a really important player for us heading into October.

Noted this. Always seems to slip over

You taking the [censored] with the spelling in that quote?

Loved the moment when he sprinted back to the goal line to contest a ball and cannonned into the point post. Great closing speed.

Can he and Rivers play in the same team? I know they have different attributes, but in terms of experience level for the lead in to potential finals.

Harmes to fwd/wing rotation at the expensive of Jones, Rivers to half-back (not talking about for next week, as Jones was good, but that'd be my idea, considering it looks like Harmes will never be dropped).

I'm about half a slab deep

Always been a fan. I was very vocal on him not being in the team earlier this year. He’s far from a finished product, but he’s exactly what we need in the back pocket going forward. Quick, tough, aggressive tackler, takes the game on, good kick. 

With Jetta on his last legs, Lockhart should be a mainstay in the back pocket for the foreseeable future.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
