I could walk into Chinatown and understand 98% of the chinese population there, and then theres you who speaks absolute [censored] that 95% of demonland still don't understand what the hell you are on about majority of the time.

Bloody awesome. Bugg, Viney and Kent on the field together sounds like fun.... for everyone but the opposition.

remembering days of viney, grinter, & schwarta... & also of Lillee & Thomo,,, right in they're faces with ball, & head to head.

bring em on.

if you really don't understand the parallels i draw, then you have a very thin wave band in your brain... anyone can understand the parallel examples, maybe except those with very limited thinking abilities that are so straight.

how are you with abstract art, or writings? can you decipher messages in music? or must it be literal as well? is that literal, or lateral you can get? I tend to be more, analogue I guess you could describe it, with the warmer tones.

on the other hand, you may be more digital, like MP-3, diminished tones... you know the music with all the stuff missing. the stuff we can't hear audibly, but we can feel, at some level.

fair dinkum dd36, I'm starting to believe your serious, & truly cannot understand, rather than just being irritable.

Yeah cool story

Can you stop responding to him dazzle? I've been enjoying having him on my ignore list so I don't have to see any of his posts. I smile every time I read through a thread and I can skip his incoherent drivel. You should do the same.

your in my list with stuie, wise, your about as boring as your footy is.

I for one am glad I don't have to read your carping on 'like an old woman from the 50's'.

Ridiculous call about Jetta's disposal. He is very tidy with the ball, one of the few I have faith in that he will hit a target regularly.

Agree, values every possession he gets.

Tom Mcdonald should follow Jetta's example. Know your limitations.

My relationship history goes, Vietnam, China, Malaysia and Russia. But y'know what, after all that, I still can't speak Crazy.

Also, Thomas Bugg looks like he'd be a handy pick-up to reliably fill a role at low cost.

well I can communicate with poor linguistic Italions, Greeks, Argentinians, generally latino Sth Americans, & Western Europeans...

And I am very happy with any tough as, footy players.

as far as broad speaking styles, you'll have to tolerate it, or lump it. I'm not changing my style for others, who refuse to try to get it.

I havenrt seen him play much, are you saying he has a lot of mongrel in him?

Not sure it was a lot of mongrel, but he was the one that cleaned up Riewoldt earlier this year (?) or was it last year?

I've always enjoyed watching Bugg since his debut season.

When he's not niggling and getting under his oponents skin causing them to fault, he can use the ball beautifully out of the half back line.

He's not that high end player we are hoping for but he'll certainly create competition for that Grimes/ Howe half back role - yet with more shut down ability.

I believe you're right AF, I have a faint recollection of this.

Fact: Jetta led the AFL in disposal efficiency in '14 at 89%.

Holy crap.

My subjective view of footy is way out of wack then. I would never have pegged his DE as that high.

Bit harsh on Jetta's disposal IMO

On a 3 tier scale 1 being poor, 2 being (AFL) average, 3 being elite he's average.

I don't buy into kicking efficiency stats regarding some players based on the position they play as they can be misleading. Jetta being a perfect example.

Posted (edited)

Jetta seems consciously kicking within his limitations. Low risk but also low gain at times. I.e. he rarely stabs one 50 m into the corridor.

But as Clint once said "A man's gotta know his limitations"

The point I'm trying to make is Jetta does a great job playing his role locking down small forwards but what if we had someone who could do that and have elite disposal and push up into the midfield if needed.

We struggled this year again in the midfield but maybe next year depending on injuries but definitely in 2017 there should no such thing as a small lock defender or a mid sized defender and that's all they can do. It will be we have midfielders with elite disposal playing the role of a lock down defender or a mid size defender.

Hawthorn and Geelong worked this out years ago and the results speak for themselves.

I haven't seen a lot of Melksham, could be coming off the other back flank from Salem. Multiple options.

Spot on. You defend as a team, and attack as a team. We need our backmen to be more creative, and that includes our supporters love children like Jetta and Garland.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
