IMO MFC in hind sight probably wish they should have kept either Simmonds or Jolly, both are better than Jamar and both have a lot more grunt than Jeff White. White is soft and wont put his head over the ball. We need a good tough ruckman.

Are you serious? Not only is Jamar a great ruck man he can also be a great full forward player. Jolly was dropped for the right reasons. Jamar is far harder at the ball and a more solid option.

Can't agree. Jamar does not impress me. Especially not as a "great full forward player". He is an OK back up ruckman, but he didn't get his nickname of "Donuts" cos he eats alot of them.

Clearly you arent a Melbourne supporter and I wouldnt have expected you to have seen enough Melbourne games to be passing comment. And as I can see u are an Essendon supporter dont throw stones in a glass house

Clearly you're new here and haven't read enough of Ash's excellent posts to realise he sees plenty of the Demons and knows more about them than most MFC supporters. You may not always agree with what he says but it's always well thought out.

You clearly dont apply such high standards of behaviour to players of other Clubs.

You have not started well so far and you might want to read a bit more before you attack posters like Ash.

I second Old's comments about Ash and he most welcome to post here. He is a cut above the standard.

Simmonds and to a lesser extent Jolly have both performed way above what the MFC thought they were worth.

Still hard to accept the fact that we traded Simmonds for Craig Ellis 6 years ago (3 way trade that involved Bandy from Freo)

I get where u are coming from but we can not afford to look back at the moment, if we are going to start that the top of my list of mistakes is Woewodin!

I didnt say he wasnt welcome but when our list is decimated players like Jamar are great to have around cos he can play in a variety of positions and I really dont think 'donuts' is a nice way to describe one of our players. Far as I knew his nickname was 'russian'

Jolly was traded not cos we wanted too but he was going to leave and we'd have got nothing.

Jamar a great ruckman?? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Jamar can be a great full forward player?? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Have you seen any Melbourne games?

Yeah, makes me feel uncomfortable thinking about that trade.

But I guess at the time, it made sense. We had a dominant ruckman in White at the time, and Jolly was showing a lot of promise. And we were desperate to land a key defender

Yup I was one of the lucky 16,000 to show up last week were you? So we should get rid of him should we?

No I didn't go on Saturday, but it would help if I was in Australia.

I don't think we should get rid of Jamar, he has a role to play in our team but I do find it hilarious that anyone woould label him as great.

Get real.

Ellis's position was compromised by an ACL injury.

We also picked up a second rounder for Simmonds. Pick 26 I think.

A starting CHB (when boy was it needed, Ingerson just retired and Nicholson was raw) and second rounder for a ruckmen that was in dreadful form whilst Jeff White was about to reach his peak. Also Jolly was on the rookie list showing good signs.

The thought process behind trading Simmo was sound and what received as part of the trade was adequate. It was just unfortunate that Ellis got injured and Aaron Rogers didn't end up making it.

Jolly on the other hand wanted a number 1 ruck spot. Not much we could do there and we received a first rounder there! Lynden Dunn would not be playing full-forward this week were it not for the Jolly trade.

So I feel both the Simmonds and Jolly trades were sound moves at the time by the MFC. However I do agree that our current ruck stocks are worrying. White is still a very good ruckman but is desperately in need of quality support which he is not receiving at the moment by Jamar.

jamar is useless! yet people say " oh he is still young.. he needs time.. etc but in my opinion the guy is a waste and doesn't do anything on the ground to hurt opponents! he has been on our list for a good 6 years and has done nothing! has to go.. he has had chances

He has height which is valuable considering we are clearly lacking in height and he rucked possibly better than Jeff White on Sunday

You're probably going to find constant disagreements here then, if to you Ash's post was an 'attack'.

Welcome to Demonland. Enjoy the abuse coming your way...

By the way, Dunn > Jolly. Go work that one out.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
