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.

rpfc, I don't have to put words into people's mouths, some wonderful stuff comes out of it's own accord

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.

What is Strauss's trick?

Has the ability to impersonate an AFL player without necessarily being one :unsure:

He know's how to use an apostrophe following an s!

I can't fault it and I went to the same school as Robert Richter who has just pulled off a great travesty of justice for geoff shaw !

the travesty of justice is for the victorian people...not that particular feeble excuse of a politician

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.

I am eating humble pie. Absolutely amazing turn around for this bloke. Just shows his work and dedication is finally paying off.

Well done nev you are now officially in my best 22 and a very important member in our side. I thought today I was seeing Mathew Whelan out there again at times.. must get my eyes checked.

man, i loved that guy.

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

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".

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
