Jellyfish have survived for over 600 million years without a brain. There's hope for you yet, Junior.

No, I just wanted to delete a comment, but instead had to edit my own piffle. I'd be happy with Green from the limited amount I've seen. You can't have enough quality contested ball winning mids. That said, Jackson's an intriguing prospect.

Blah blah blah

For having an opinion ? I ought to thank you. You sum up why I avoided this place for six months. Adieu.

Don't fret, you're every chance to get me next time.

Clearly it's me stating I'm oblivious of this year's draft, but on the surface, i.e. some video footage, I can see the attraction to this particular player. To extrapolate my comments as some sort of slight on fellow Demonlanders shows a "special" type of person. I liked your initial post for a reason if you're in any doubt.

Idiots will idiot.

I'll let the cobblers cobble, but Jackson looks to me as though he has the attributes to be a star. His movement, footy IQ, and aggression are high resolution. He has a real bounce in his step that's reminiscent of someone always on their toes. You either have it or you don't. He looks like a player that makes things happen when he's around the footy. In his last 5 colts games he averaged a tick over 20 disposals and well over the 30 hitouts per game. Like Grundy, he'll be an extra mid. Grundy is an awkward kick, but it doesn't affect his total package. And if Taylor thinks he can play forward that's significant. As for splitting pick 8... I'm convinced Taylor won't slide 4-6 places in the first round unless he can select the same player he would have selected at pick 8. Personally, Ash looks like he''d be a great pick up late in the top 10.

For me it's a no brainer. He'll be relatively cheap and with lists of approx. 44 what's the downside if he doesn't pan out ? His talent is undeniable. 37 disposals and 4 goals against us at the G was evidence of a very special player. He's a better talent than Geelong's recently departed Tim Kelly. If you can't take a risk when you haven't won a flag in over 50 years when can you ? I'll live very comfortably if he came to the Dees and never played a game. Btw, I can share that Goodwin and co. are very bullish about 2020. They're aiming for top 4 and think they can win it - (courtesy of a lunch between Goodwin and well-heeled Demons supporters). Naturally, the usual rebarbative posters will bloviate their inanities at such a suggestion.

Correct. Not only is he too slow to make a decision he still makes the wrong one after taking an eternity. Unfortunately, he's a hopeless AFL footballer. VFL quality at best.

I really don't get this desperation to limp into the finals and just make up the numbers. We're clearly not good enough in 2019. Whatever floats your boat I suppose.

1920s prison haircuts are all the rage. Worst group-think of any generation.

Barrett: Demons' stance on May is control gone mad I don't fully agree with Purple, but I have some sympathy for his view. I'm probably somewhere in the middle. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-07/barrett-demons-stance-on-may-is-control-gone-mad

I do find it amusing that you can't verbalise what you don't like. Not entirely surprising. People love to bandy about criticisms, but when they're asked to actually articulate what they mean they can't. I'll move on. ?

What should he have regard for ? Especially, as you say, he probably had no idea about any personal issues and was just reporting a story. I assume you realise it was ''newsworthy'' ?

Did you not quote me ? I wouldn't know what have or haven't posted. If I said I was unfamiliar with you it'd be an understatement.

I couldn't care less about Morris. But I like people to be accountable for their comments. Ethan has said he's gone from saying ''ample'' to ''plenty'' of beers. How would Morris know how many he'd had. And why did Morris change his language ? You see Ethan gets it. He can back up his assertion with facts, which is all I wanted. Others just make ill-considered observations and when they're held to account that get all narky, they get personal, and they fail to back their original assertions. Tip: don't make claims you can't back up. It's not hard.

Haha Sorry to hurt your feelings, kid.

Hang on. You said he'd beaten up the story. You said he exaggerated. What part was ''beaten up'' ? And how do you know he wasn't respecting May's privacy or even knew about any relationship issues ? Btw, there are 3 questions there.

Can you highlight the part where he exaggerated the extent of the crime ? This shouldn't be hard, after-all it's your accusation not mine. So, I assume you've read what's been exaggerated. It's a pretty simple request. I'm keen to know, because I may have missed it.

Great. I need specific quotes and examples. But how do I already know you won't provide these ? Wow, I'm clairvoyant ?

I'm still trying to grapple with what Morris supposedly ''beat up''. Can you shed some light ? You know, specifically what he exaggerated.

This is called deflecting. It's common when people can't address the actual assertion. It's weak, but all you've got I suppose.

What part was ''beaten up'' ?

What was this "small-minded mediocrity" that Morris portrayed ?
