extremely interrupted pre season, injured most of the year, you seem to be clueless.

Even those that have just emerged from the forest can learn from those apparently without clue.

1. State of Origin selection is not usually based on form from the season before last.  Indisputable.

2. Neville Jetta in 2019 averaged 2 free kicks against per game.  In his entire career, he is 0.7 per game.  2016 - 0.5 per game.  2017 - 0.5 per game.  2018 - 0.75ish per game.  Unquestionable.

 

2 per game since the grappling crackdown = red flag.

 

 

Neville Jetta peaked unbelievably in 2018 and flat-lined in 2019.  The enforcement of the grappling rule to increase scoring; and his age does not auger well for him.

 

 

Is he lucky to get a gig in the state of origin?  Absolutely.  Might as well pick Weed for his 2018 final performance.

    He gave away free kicks in only 5 games last last year and didn't give away any in his most recent two.

    Free kicks in only 5 out of your tiny sample of 7.

    You are cherry picking and reaching for negativity that isn't there.

    When you look back at Neville Jetta's career, "lucky" wouldn't even be a small part of the story.  He has earned everything that has come his way and deserves to play representative football, to go with his Australian guernsey.  

     

    I suggest you find another sport to follow; football clearly brings you no joy.

    Have absolutely no interest in this game...

    Lucky to get a gig.  Gives away maximum frees since the grappling crackdown.  Stellar 2018.  Poor 2019.

     

    Who is emergency?  Bennell?

     

    Love your work TGR. Like a car crash i can't look away. The posters on my ignore list would be amazed you are not on it with them.

    That said your trolling standards are slipping a bit lately. You are losing your touch.

    I mean take the post quoted above. Terrible trolling. I mean i get that everybody loves Jetts, so ipso facto bagging him is bound to get a rise from some.

    But that is the best you can do? 

    And the who is emergency tag line? I mean c'mon you can do better than that. Lazy work. I expect so much more from you.

    I'm sorry but if you don't lift your standard of trolling back to an acceptable level then regrettably i'm going to have to put you on ignore after all.

    Lift your game. I know you can do it.

    If you are right....I might be battle-weary.  I might have lost whatever tolerance I had for the club.  I might just be Demonology's version of Sam Newman talking about his 3 kids (he has one of each apparently), and climate change.  The banned button might be inevitable.

     

    If you aint...just getting in first to predict that Jetta will fall off-the-cliff faster than the consensus think; and Bennell's 2019 was on-par with Nev's 2019 in my mind.  I will look closely at his free-kicks-against column in 2020...and his Casey tally.  If 2020 is a horrible anus for Nev, then I'll beat my chest and PM you.  Will you get my private message if I am on the banned list?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
