Adds that tough edge to the midfield, the Demon vice captain leads by example on the field with his straight ahead approach and unflinching desire for the football.

"The heart-and-soul Demon remains contracted for another three seasons after turning his back on free agency two years ago. The tough midfielder played 22 games in 2022 – his best season return to date – and remains an integral part of the Melbourne midfield machine, averaging almost 26 disposals and an elite 5.7 tackles a game this year." - Herald Sun

    The only knock on his season is he does not kick enough goals and has no depth in his kicking, otherwise I think it was his best season even though he has won the MFC player award on 1 occasion and was runnerup twice.

    Started the year kicking a goal every game for first 5 or 6 rounds. Would love to see that throughout the year. Thought he was absolutely stellar this season

    It was great to see Jack start the year with a full tank, lots of skill, toughness and controlled aggression at the ball and man. Jack played some brilliant footy this year, he would have been disappointed with our last two games but so would the whole team. Let’s hope that he can string 26 games together at that level next year.

    I thought he was tremendous and at times showed a turn of speed which I had long forgotten that he had.

    Jack had a fantastic season, but a pretty poor finals campaign, which will hopefully push him to greater heights in 2023.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
