Strauss and Blease at least have attributes that could be considered elite in kicking and pace respectively, which makes it worth persisting with them. Jetta has nothing.

Jetta has toughness and a desire to tackle - neither Blease and Stauss have those attributes from what I have seen.

Roos might have some pre-requisites to playing, and they are probably closer to Jetta's attributes than the other two.

    I would agree with this. It's one of the reasons I was surprised to see Jetta delisted, and not at all surprised he has been retained.

    The Swans style is frenetic, and Jetta is closer to that mould than the likes of Strauss and Blease.

    Unless you are stood next to me when I speak to players you have no idea what I am saying, so you can keep your advice to yourself

    And who made you sheriff, don't remember voting for you

    All through this, at lest Nev knew he had one supporter in his corner, and he thanked me for it

    Jetta has the attitude that Roos loves, so he's being given time to see if his game will develop under skilful coaching. If not, he's gone. Strauss and Blease have a year to show that they're more than one-trick ponies. Much as I love seeing Nev tackle and Sam take the game on, I don't expect to see any of them in 2015.

    You have told us that you relayed to Dawes what people 'think of him' on here. Why don't you also tell him that some on here think he should be captain?

    And all the players have 'the supporters in their corner' - you wear that guernsey (even the white one) we will support you.

    You can relay that to the players aswell if you want to...

    The fact that Jetta was our last pick in the draft would indicate to me that the clue don't expect a lot from him. It would seem that he will have to show a lot to get a game, and a lot more to get another contract next year.

    I like Nev, as do most on here, but this is a business and he hasn't shown enough in the time he's been on the list.

    Stayathome, you've just confirmed for me that although you try to convince yourself you're doing some sort of public service and supporting the players, it's really all about trying to present yourself as being "one of their few true supporters" and that you want to feel special and get a pat on the back from them.

    I'd be annoyed at your misrepresentations, if I at all thought the players took you seriously.

    As it is, in just embarrassed for you.

    FCS, support the club with all your gusto, but don't go peddling crap to the players about internet warriors sledging them.

    Sorry Machsy do about nothing..............As I said to the other one or two comedians who have posted, unless you are stood next to me, you have no idea what I do or don't say to players, so I would ask you keep your instructions to yourself

    I enjoy talking to the players, I don't represent myself as anything except a supporter, nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about

    It is some posters on here who seem to have the problem with their self esteem

    The players know how some supporters feel about them, without me telling them, I know because they've told me

    And I will continue to do what I like, as you expect to, as I said if what I write annoys you, don't read it, I am about to add you to my list of skip overs

    That's right.

    I only have to go on what you yourself write on this forum.

    You're the one supplying the bullets, mate.

    Jetta would almost be one of te first picked at the moment.

    Agreed. Up there with Pederson and Dunn for "most improved player". Full credit to him, he's making the most of this opportunity.

    Jetta also possesses a good footy brain, strength, wins one on one and has the ability to size up an option quickly. Is miles ahead of the other 2 on these attributes.

    He is more than just a "trier".

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
