Re: Jeffy

 

[Satyriconhome 10,732]

A sharp skills session with no drill lasting longer than 5 minutes

All walking wounded not sighted and Spargo

So Neitschke, Lever, Lewis, May, JKH, AVB, Hannan and Walker

Crossy gave Jeff Garlett's shoulders a work out with a tackling drill, Jeff did whole session

Squad still upbeat, no cloud of doom over Goschs,   only bright sunshine

Good to hear! Hopefully they come with a sunny disposition on Friday night.

He has to be a chance.   We are desperate for a small forward.

Get him in.  

[GCDee 3,199]

Yep its jeffy time. 

Let's remember how he single handedly got us over the line round 2 last year when we were playing [censored] footy. 

We need speed, crumbling ability & some x factor. 

[DubDee 25,674]

Let’s have some last year of contract Jeffy magic!

he is worth a punt for sure

We are suffering from lack of speed fatigue that's for sure.  Spargo, Jeffy and Hannan all sorely missed in the forward half.

Would have to be one of the worst starts to a season injury wise but then again we've had plenty of em over the decades.

Oh please, if we think Garlett is the answer to our present woes, we seriously are delusional

Got a better option for a crumbing forward?

Your bringing problems with no solutions. Don’t be that guy. 

 

Its dreadfully obvious We are desperate for a dynamic crumbing forward with a bit of spark. When jeffy is on, he’s up there with the best. Let’s see him, I’m ready.

Nope, and that is one of our many problems. He could hardly get a kick in the VFL last year, and is now a year older. Way past it

[Neitz Blitz 13]

Pruess ruck gawn full forward, use gawn as long option, fixes forward woes

Except he can’t kick straight and defenders would run off him at every opportunity. Max is not a forward full stop. Weideman and McDonald are our key forwards and both need to lift substantially

And you know what?  You might be right, bobby.

But we could do worse than give him a crack.  We need a bit of spark down there and Jeffy is still capable of that.  At any rate he deserves the chance to show he's still got it.

And if he doesn't?  Well, then we know.

Can’t dispute that

Yes, and if Garlett comes in I also want Lockhart to retain his spot.  That goal last week was great and he brings pressure.

You need more than one small forward,  just look at any recent grand finalists.

Don't think Jeffy is a VFL player, the stage is too small. Also, I think he's a victim of the coach's whims. In other words, ANB can get away with running like a hare and getting nowhere fast but that's ok, when someone like Garlett needs and deserves some smart midfield service which unfortunately doesn't seem to be part of the 'Game Plan'. What I know for sure is that Garlett will do more damage without half of the futile efforts of a plodder like ANB. It's the Eddie Betts principal. 

I don't want this to sound like a put down of Goodwin, but Goodwin, like all coaches, has his likes and dislikes. If it weren't for Roos, Dunn would have finished his dedicated Demon career at Melbourne. In the same way that Dean Terlich's days were numbered when Roos arrived.

Once again, this is not a criticism of Roos, simply a fact of life that it's horses for coaches in this business, witness Sheedy and Kevin Walsh, Lyon and Dawson etc etc...

[WERRIDEE 5,445]

I noticed Spargo cop a knock on the jaw before half time but I thought it wasn't serious because he kept on playing. Another Gaff by the football department like J.Smith?

2 years is a long time with no spark, Jeff needs a new ignition button installed.

In this case, wearing the clash strip...

Hello Simon 

It's that down to earth footy know it all Picket Fence here.

Now Simon, we don't have a crumbing forward at present who can kick goals! Come to think of it we don't seem to have many who can and are kicking goals at present. Can I humbly make a suggestion , just a small one??

TAKE THE BLOODY RISK AND GET JEFFY IN!!!

Thanks Simon, I always thought I had your ear!

Cheers

if you think he wont help then maybe you are seriously delusional. He is agood player.. right now we need good players.. he wont kick 8 and win it for us but he might be an important piece of the puzzle.

[Demon3 2,541]

We simply must have fwd line pressure.. Jeffy, Jayden & Jay.. Triple J all need to be in the Fwd 50.
