Good, honest player; very happy with his development.  Bit of James McDonald about him imho.

I bet that Melbourne is working to extend the contracts of both Trac and Jackson as we speak.

I know they are signed until the end of next year, but that will come around very quickly, and if we are to target someone like Merrett in the off season, we need to re-sign as many of our top players as we can so we can assess where our salary cap is at. 

We have no room in our cap to go out and get anyone, surely.

 

Another solid performance (vs North)

20 disposals @ 90% disposal efficiency, 7 tackles, 7 score involvements, 4 clearances

He flies under the radar.. going beautifully for a 20 year old 7 gamer.  (Or is that 7 winner?)

Wonder what the longest a player has gone since debut without a loss

Got a little while to go...

 

Just clarifying, Second Verse, this is the players' first 'x' games in the seniors, since debut in the seniors, but aren't consecutive games, as James's have been? Bryan Kenneally's, for example, were rounds 11 (debut) and 12 in 1959, then rounds 2, 5 and then 6 to 15 in 1960. James does indeed have a little way to go, but I wonder where he sits in the consecutive games since debut field?


Maybe this is one for the 

Thread, just 12 more to go lol

Now it's 9 games. Does anyone have the stamina to fully look into the 'afltables' source material for TPF39's post to see whether anyone ahead of James played their winning games from debut in the firsts consecutively? I looked at a couple of the other 9s and they didn't, and I checked ahead and Mumford didn't.

That is not correct We won in 2015/16/17 in Round  1. Beating GC GWS and Saints respectively.

Thought he played the second best game of his career yesterday.

That steadying goal he kicked in the last qtr was impressive.

Played another very useful back up game/ role where he just gets his hands on the ball and uses it pretty well. Also he is a fantastic tackler and Yao's elevated him as he is prepared to get his hands dirty.

Also SpargO played IMO  his best game for us  Love his work in defence snd link up was strong. He is now quite an accomplished AFL player. All credit to him and our Footy Dept. 

Delighted with his progress thus far. Goes about his business in a no fuss manner. The club has really got its act together from a development perspective and JJ is a testament to that. Didn't know a whole lot about before Rd 1 but i've had him in my votes for Freo and again yesterday.

Great start to your AFL career. Well done young man.

That original quote was from 2015.

Still not sure what Garbo was talking about though

I love how he tackles. So much intent. And he’s not slow either. 
Also we can never drop him or we might never win a game again.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
