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?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
