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.

    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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: 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.
