Wasn't that Silvagni he outmarked ?

He outmarked Silvagni. 

But he outbodied Casboult in a 1 on 1 marking contest 30m out in the 2nd quarter. 

Pound for pound.

    Yeah, just saw the photo on the Foxfooty article re Jetta.

    Great article by Anna Harrington.  I've liked a few of her articles.

    He got 1 coaches vote. That is criminal.

    Its likely that Bolton didnt give him a single vote.  Sad.

    Nah, I remember that one too but pretty sure in the Punt Road pocket the ball was kicked into a  bunch of players. Nev came from behind and spoiled Casboult - I said outmarked but it was a spoil. Hard to do for a small bloke...

    Idiot Richmond supporters are idiots

    The way I saw it was that Simpson turned to try and block Jetta

    He has a remarkable vertical leap. Hence why he can compete with the bigger markers.

    He also has Frostie to thank for helping him out.

    Exactly.  Frost went to cover Thomas and massively helped Nev out.  Nev's reaction time to spot Simpson running past and get over to cover him, then out-body him and win the ball was outstanding.  Great defensive team play that almost certainly saved the game for us.

    Nev named in AFL Team of the Week.  His form is becoming hard to ignore!

    LOL.  Absolutely!  (I can't claim credit for it anyway.  Found that little gem on Facebook!  - 'bout all FB is good for, mind you, tossing up the occasional gem like that!)

    I pose this question: what makes Nev such a good player from a defensive perspective? Is it his balance or centre-of-gravity? Strength and tenacity? Positioning or body-work? Steady nerves and execution? He just biologically (as to AFL) seems to have no right to be as good as he is.

    I've seen a lot of blokes look at him, and they say to themselves "no, too tough for me"

    ... which I have been having a running arguement about with some Blues [censored] at work for 2 days now. 

    Will not accept that the contest with Simpson at the end was fair, or the "illegal interference" on Thomas in the play just before that.

    I just laugh at him, as I did when he claimed we were gifted 5 umpire goals from directly in front while they had none...  

    Delusional to the point where I dont even bother trying to argue anymore. Just nod and smile

    we certainly were gifted some goals but not by the umpire, but by poor defensive play by carlscum players

    I couldnt go unfortunately. Wish i could. I so much prefer watching footy live. I sit at the top od the ponsford where i would have seen what simpson had ahead of him if he won that ball.

    The tv angle shits me. Just a tight focus, including the replays. Why not at least on the replay show the down the down the ground shot.

    Ivw heard 3 diff versions of what was ahead of simpson from the media. Can someone who was tell me for certain please?

    Defenders get it tough. A forward kicks the wiinning goal and is a hero. A defender saves a match losing goal and is doing his job.

    I knew they were out watching on the TV, but I didn't realise just how out they were.  Nev loses that one on one and they could have strolled in and raffled the goal.

    Nev actually went to ground. If Frostie hadn't come in, Carlton were away. Having said that, Nev's second effort once he got to his feet was great. I think it was a joint effort, but Frostie's efforts seem to have been overlooked.

    Not by me. Loved the shrug and the afterburners. Belief in himself when everything was on the line. I'm really loving the trade deal that got us him, ANB and Omac.

    The Jetta contact with Thomas was a legitimate attempt to go for the ball. Besides Thomas won the ball and handballed it to Simpson. Simpson initiated contact with Jetta. Nothing to complain about there.

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 Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
