He’s one of the best kicks in the league and has been for years. He’s just inconsistent and doesn’t get enough of it to display those kicking skills and vision regularly. He kicked 45 goals from the wing back in 2012 while at the Swans though, so can be very damaging. 

Heres another one for the hindsight file. He could’ve been ours!

    Toumpas was neither fast nor skillful.

    He was as a junior before his hip op

    Ok, clearly you don't watch football so have a look at this and come back to me. If you can find the same for Jayden Hunt I would love to see it. West Coast clearly love Jetta kicking in because he is a horrible kick.

     

    It is funny you put up a highlights package where the commentator says Lewis Jetta, a much better kick. Implying his last few were horrible.

    Happy for you to name which player I would lose on.

    Hunt and Frost both have AFL standard skills with pace wich is unusual. The thing that lets them both down is decision making.

    Neither Frost nor Hunt have agility or vision, they are straight line quick but fumble easily and prone to long bomb the ball under panic. Frost particulary is frightening to watch with ball in hand. IMO both should be depth and rarely sighted beyond Casey. 

    Having said that, Hunt is showing some promise as a born again forward.

    Once May, Lever, Hannan and the new and improved Jeffy (won't hold my breath) come back those two will hopefully be at Casey.

    I suspect they might be open for trade at end of year.

    Hunt played all his junior football as a forward. His uncle player for Melbourne. He kicked 3 goals as a forward last week and looked back to his best. Why someone would wish him the worst is beyond me.

    Comprehend what I wrote and you'll see I mentioned him improving as a forward.

    No one has wished him the worst. It's an opinion of ability, thats all. Don't take it personally

    Hoping a player with electric place, which we are screaming for, is wishing the worst for them.

    Why start a thread if you are going to misrepresent and argue with everyone who disagrees with your view? It's just boring. See ya

    Misrepresent? You posted a clip of Lewis Jetta with skills.

    We can all do that.

    FMD you are a rare idiot. I did not post the clip of Jetta, I didn't even quote it. 

    Apology accepted.

    I do sincerely apologise.

    As soon as I posted I looked to make sure it was the same poster. Obviously not.

    I even embrace the term rare idiot.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
