Gawndy the Great 9,011 Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 Bont will never leave, doing so would throw that club into utter turmoil and irrelevance. I also think it would be a burden/luggage for Bont to the extent it will affect his footy. As much as every other club would want him, i hope he sorts out whatever riff raff he has going on and stays to be a 1 club player. He is one of the greats of the modern era. I think the forwardline configuration last night might have raised a few eyebrows at the kennell. Naughton looked so much better without the congestion. Lobb played his role much more effectively too. Either JUH has to come up much more forward and give Naughton space or they move Naughton into the back line. Playing them like they do is not working. Realistically, its hard to see a situation where they trade him... 2 Quote

640MD 3,568 Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 Yes. Fatigue, loading and 5 or 6 day breaks mean a hell of a lot to the whole 22. some might be super fit but the average AFL player feels the difference. Quote

I think many of us 'just cannot watch' / 'find no interest, whatsoever' in observing football games in which the Mighty Demons are not playing. To keep abreast of how (well) up-coming opposition sides are playing, we refer to the [censored] media for an ounce of insight, no more. One-eyed it may be, it is a commitment just the same. 1 Quote

I think they'd rather make the Bont captain/coach and president than trade him Possibly even rename the club Western Bont too! Quote

Gawndy the Great 9,011 Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 Interesting development on JUH. Just find it interesting that this happens to coincide with Doggies big win and Naughton kicking 6 snags. Probably nothing but ... the old adage of smoke and fire.

DOUBT SURROUNDS UGLE-HAGAN’S AVAILABILITY DESPITE ATTENDING BOXING MATCH FOLLOWING PERSONAL ABSENCE JUH not being at Monday training after being at the boxing on Saturday is curious. Could not help but notice the following in the next SEN article: Former Docker, Sun and Demon Harley Bennell kicked 6 goals to help guide the Lions to a 9-point win over Dederang Mount Beauty FNC 15.8 98 to 12.17 89. 1 Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 It's not nothing but it's not much of something either. The sooner the Dogs realise that 4 key talls isn't the way 'forward' the better. Quote

Problem is that JUH and Naughton play the same style of game. Both are stay at home forwards. Either JUH gets on his bike and plays more in the style of Jezza or he goes. Quote
Queanbeyan Demon 7,025 Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 Who are the untouchables at Melbourne? And could they become touchable should JUH be available? Quote
