The rule is bullshit, but as a 10 year player, he should know better.

Everyone defended Mal Micheal after the NAB cup game and after round 1 when he struggled with the rule. Everyone was happy to give time for a player to adjust to the rule. How many senior games has Bolton played?

So your implying that I was giving Michael slack?I was hard on Mal Michael aswell as some other people. He is an experiance defenderwho put the hands in Fevola's back. Eventhough one of the decisions, he actualy used the forearm and another Fevola dropped as if he had been shoot.

The kid has got amazing talent and speed and would be perfect playing on the wing with Lovett and Davey foward I reckon.

Why should he have to be amongst the best in the VFL? Jetta hadn't even played a VFL game yet got a senior game ahead of Dempsey. I reckon Dempsey is better because he picks up the ball a lot better, Jetta seems to let it slip through his hands too often.

Still, I'd love to see both in the team, but Dempsey did his hammy last week and Jetta was injured today.
