Jay Lockhart

Featured Replies

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: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
