Yeah, for some reason he's very underestimated here at 'land..

I think he's a big part of our future. His 1st year was as good as Bennys imo.

Kicked some great goals and had impact like his cousin lewis had recently with the swans..

the difference being the swans win games, so its noticed.

May end up on a wing / davey-type HFF..(with LJ, wona, possibly maric they can all fit if warranted)

His instinctive, natural style wont see him go unnoticed for much longer imho.

jetta is also a hard little guy...by that i mean he is tough and can lay a good bump which is good

    EDIT: Pretty much everyone was terrible tho Demonator.

    At least he got some game time on the biggest, best ruckman in the league atm.

    yeah, fair point mate!

    Davey's pre season has been interrupted since Christmas. Possible hamstring injury. He missed training in january and only played 1/2 of the intraclub match. At least he has 4 weeks to get himself fit. I don't think we have another player who can break the lines like him.

    Yeah, how could i forget!

    He got amongst it a few times last year, doesnt take sh!t from anyone. Just needs a few more kg's of muscle imo..

    We need more of that hardness at MFC. Tappy will help.

    That bump Jet layed on Sunday was glorious.. ball was within 5 mts.. wasnt high.. total BS free-kick paid against him!

    You could almost feel the freo guy land from where i was! demon_biggrin.gif

    Re: Jetta, I mentioned to a Swans supporter mate the other day how good young Lewie looked and he said as good as he looks he'd trade him for our Nev...

    Big call, but it shows that even if demon supporters tend to underrate him, it looks like not everyone does.

    I rate the kid. Will be an integral part of our future.

    I'm hoping to go tomorrow if I have time.

    I can post some updates from my blackberry. I'm not the best analyser of the game though.

    Will be there for sure, will post impressions.

    Have a good feeling about it actually.

    jetta's reason might be the fact that he was rubbish. do not think he would be close to making our best 22 if wona and maric are playing well.

    I'd say that Jetta is as good as most MFC players at the moment, and would make the 22 easily. :P

    Thinking of going it's been a long time since I've been to princes park.

    What's parking like is there any available close to the ground?

    there is parking provided in the park next to the ground much like they do at the G. I have never done it as i live round the corner so not sure how much it is.

    Or you can just get a park a few streets away from the eastern end of the ground. Weren't too many dramas with parking last year using that method.

    PFT Jetta has been about 20 times better than Maric thus far this preseason!

    Based on what we've seen so far, Jetta is a better player than Maric, and I'd play Jetta first given the choice. But Wonna's better than both.

    This team has 1410 games experience.

    5 players with 0 games experience, 7 players with less than 10 games, 12 with under 20.

    12 players with 50 games or more, 3 players with 100 or more, 2 with 150 or more, 1 with 200 or more.

    Essendon have 1765

    4 players with 0 games experience, 5 players with less than 10 games, 7 with under 20.

    12 players with 50 games or more, 6 players with 100 or more, 2 with 150 or more, 1 with 200 or more

    Roughly 14 games per player difference.

    Some of the Essendon stats may be incorrect as it's tough to work with their website. But interestingly, they seem to be where we'll be at in a few seasons.

    We'll have a few more with 100/150 games experience and something of note, in my view, is that 7 of their players have between 20-50 games experience with the other youngsters basically having played no matches. We only have 2 players with between 20-50 games playing today.

    It seems whilst Essendon's quality younger brigade have now played between 20-50 games, ours have yet to reach that mark.

    Where the puck is Tom McNamara? Not in the squad, not on the injury list. Weird. Should be playing IMO. Especially since players like Bartram, Bell and Newton make the squad.

    Looking forward to seeing what Rohan Bail's got. The only time I've seen him was in his debut vs North, where he played not much more than 5 minutes.

    Is the game on radio at all ?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
