Should be knighted for services to Australian Rules Football.

In fact I'll have a chat to Meaghan and Harry when they pop in for a tea this week....

As an aside I wonder why Jetta doesn't get booed by opposition supporters?

It takes all types, I suppose!  I just cheered myself hoarse at the time, and sat back and marvelled each time I've watched a replay!

I am just about to rate Jetta higher than Matty Whelan who was one of the bets back pocket players I have seen at Melbourne. You could almost bet your house on Jetta.

ooohhh...that's great. I love(d) Wrecker... but I think on body of work...and perhaps his most recent game (annihilation of Dangerfield)...it's in Nev's favour. Though a broken leg somewhere, may just enhance his stature more.

I am sure some Cat fans would claim that he pulled Dunderfield's arm before taking the mark.

I must say I didn't look at Duckwood or Hawkins at the time but I am sure they would have felt hard done by for not getting the free.  And of course had the game been at Kardinia Park they probably would have.

If I keep the reigning All Australian and the widely acknowledged AFL No 1 small forward goalless in his most important game of the year, should I be pizzed off that I didn’t even make the AA squad.

The most amazing thing about Dangerfield's game against us was the sheer number of deliberate "frees" (either paid or not paid) he committed. Like Jetta in the vid, every single time Danger was beaten he slung his opponent to the ground. And yet he was hardly ever pinged.

Two of the cleanest hits in the past 2 weeks you are ever likely to see.

The fact he ironed out 2 important players for the other team made it more memorable.

@dl4e I would liken Lord Nev to George Gregan (especially the tackle on All black Jeff Wilson). And yes I have also been thinking about comparisons to Wrecker (who was also a good ball user if I remember correctly.) 

The heart in both of these men is just enormous. I am in awe.

No .... that was tears.

Softened up by Viney in past encounters, and that was le coup de grace.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
