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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
