sorry, i forgot your only Liter Al... I'll try to make it simple, & straight, & boring, next time for you so you can comprehend the curves, dd36

by the way dd36, what are you like understanding new Australians who may be trying to talk English to you.... do you walk away, when they do try?

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.

Fair dinkum..

 

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'.

Bit harsh on Jetta's disposal IMO

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

 

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.

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.

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.

Quit the infighting.

Its been more interesting then the trade period so far.... haha

  • 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.
