Welcome aboard Jack (Hendo). 

Best of luck, earned your opportunity the hard way.

 

 

Was disappointed when we didn't draft him. He addresses a need, and I reckon he'll play a lot of senior football this year.

It certainly looks like he has the ability. It will be whether he has the desire and determination. 🤞🤞

Haha you’ve got this the wrong way round OF. The second bit is not in question at all.

The first bit, we’ll see!

Could help to fill a gap we've had since Harmes left and we lost Angus😪.

Yeah. Don’t mind the Bee Dees - as long as it’s not a Tragedy, and they’re not just Staying Alive.

I just watched his show reel. Is there any doubt at all? He's got bargain-basement written all over him. Anyone have his Brownlow odds?

 

Welcome aboard the Dee Train Jack Henderson just in time to make a big impact and shore up our stocks. Good luck Jack.

Comming through as a rookie / secondary list type player like Harmes too. 

Still dispointed that things went somewhat south between Harmes and the club in the end.  Though I haven't really watched many of his games for the Dogs, he still seems to be getting a senior game there and thought we could have used the depth and his hard edge and attacking dare in our team last season.  All the same, I think it's also good (perhaps for all involved) that we let him go, even just from the perspective if list balance age profile wise.

Think he only played  9 last year.

Understand.  So probably frindge, not best 22 (similar to where he ended up with us).  The thing being, we could have done with a findge mid to provide depth last season, as I'm fairly sure he would have given us way more than Laurie Vs GWS and say maybe a game we lost by a few points against Brisbane etc and might have tipped us into playing finals contention... not that we might have had that much impact with the way our season ended.

In some respects I think it was actually better for us not to make finals last year.  Few better draft picks and extended presason for Oliver and whoever else was carrying injuries and tires from x3 intense seasons running right to the pointy end.

A list really needs top 28-30 so these so called fringe players are vital.

Welcome Jack…

The game is tilting… to smaller people?

Has there been an official announcement anywhere or are we just relying on media commentary? I can find nothing on the MFC or AFL websites (although both sites are so poor it could be there).

The media is always right, isn't it?

Dewey Defeats Truman: The Famously Mistaken Headline


There's something strange and impressive about some of his tackles. It is like the opponent goes docile, just accepting 'yep, I'm tackled, oh well'.

If footy doesn't work out he could earn just as much as a shearer with that skill... does he have quick hands?

Welcome aboard! Great goal sense and a very good mark for his height but not overly quick.  

Fills a need.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
