I'm thinking the police need to be called in to disarm the person who is holding a gun to the heads of the JW haters and forcing them to come on to this thread to comment.

Amusing that their own posts are bumping it up to the top of the page.

 

In case anyone forgot, he's playing right now...

    I wish he was still on the list. I like the narrative around these things, even though I can see why he was traded and those with Aspergers here don’t get the human bits to this stuff.

    That said, I love Bailey Fritsch.

    He means, some humans with asparagus don't get to bite it. But he loves banana fritters.

    Because people who are autistic aren't human ...

    Normative BS, right up there with "gays aren't real men" etc. etc.

     

     

    Would currently be playing at Casey.

    I flicked over at half time for a quick look at the Power vs Lions game. Watts had two contests I saw. 

    First was a smaller player bodied him off a high ball, Jack gives a half attempt and the ball bounces to him. He sends off a lazy handball toward goal to a player in the clear that falls short of his target by metres. Lions rebound the ball.

    A minute or so later he is in a high ball one on one and Harris-Andrews outmarks him easily and rebounds.

    Both reminded me why we made the decision to let him go.

    Bayley Fritsch will give us far more going forward

    Jack is a top bloke, but he was never going to take the next step for us

    We were hoping that he would be our johnathon brown!

    Was never going to happen!

    A Pavlich would have been nice

    I wonder if Jack had found a watering hole of choice in Adelaide yet?

    He may want to steer clear of the Ramsgate. It could get a bit too willing for him; especially if Tex turns up after a bad loss.

    With a relative diagnosed with Aspergers I don't think you know what it is.

    Going by the evidence on BigFooty (such as it is) Port fans were not happy with his efforts today, especially that last quarter. Seemingly sections of their crowd were giving it to him in the last when he missed a gimme from 35 out and turned over a simple handpass in Ports inside 50. 

    Jack's Supercoach scores have been 97, 44 and 67. The fact that the Power have a very easy draw over the coming weeks may be the only thing saving him from being dropped.

    Jack is burning up the ground - after his bog performance last game and his strong contested football, how we gave up such a talent is beyond me????

    Glass houses.

    We're hardly setting the football world on fire ourselves.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
