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?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
