Mark Jamar New MFC Ruck Coach for 2025

[Ollie fan 3,672]

Max doesn't need coaching - he could teach Russian quite a few things. But he should be an excellent coach for Verralls, AJ, Campbell and the part-timers: TMac, Petty, Roo.

Mark has been great in the past and this creates good vibe no doubt. 

Though not sure with 2 super experienced current ruck options and  Verrall not appearing to be progressing as quickly as l would like, who are the high potential young rucks he is going to teach? 

 

I think it comes back to the old adage that you should never stop learning.
It’s great to see some investment in this area. No single player has all the answers without needing somebody to bounce ideas off. It should be great for the older guys.
I think it should also be very beneficial for the Fish as they also have similar body types.

Welcome back Mark Jamar who can forget that year when he and Brent Moloney killed it in the midfield. He also made Max work extra hard to finally take the No.1 ruck berth off him. Very happy with this appointment.

How good was Beama busting out the front of a centre bounce having received it on a platter from Russian ♥️💙

Team success has been sparse but damn we’ve been blessed with some good ruckmen over the last 30 years . 

The article with White reminded me that for a few years, we had Jeff White, Darren Jolly, and Mark Jamar on our list!

Fantastic news! 😎👍🏻

 

Welcome back Russian!

 

Now we just need either David Neitz, David Schwarz or Garry Lyon back as the Demons goal kicking coach! 😉

Or Allen Jakovich

If I remember correctly Mark was given the name “Russian” by Nick Walsh an Irishman on our rookie list. Mark kept calling him “paddy”, and his response was “what would you know you great big Russian”.

I thought it was a rocky iv reference as Jamar had peroxide blond hair when he arrived.

They're getting the band back together. First Jones, now Jamar, it'll be Bernie next. 😉

Yikes, Disco Bernie & Claz, what a combo 🤣

I would have thought we had better uses for the soft cap than a specialist ruck coach for two incredibly experienced ruckmen, but fair enough.
