I d not agree with this assessment at all.
I don’t need a warning from you mate, i disagree with your “opinion” as I have provided my reasoning and you straight out dismiss it based on your own criteria that you then present as fact ..it is just your opinion and i disagree with your opinion on this matter…stating it so strongly doesn’t make it any more correct ..your opinion pretty much is that last season on the field with this club Jerome failed to ice a few games and therefore you claim he is not a leader, a very small sample size and a very subjective criteria.. and also a matter of judgement .. i though Jerome showed leadership during the Galvin saga, you didn’t , its a matter of opinion … as I don’t know him personally the way i see him act on field indicates to me he is a leader, the way all his teammates talk about him makes me fully believe he is a leader in their eyes… you see it differently , as you are entitled to, but i dont see it like you do as I disagree with your reasoning.
Another 3 or so extra pokies in fron t of the toilets at hbg head quarters
I've not known too many players to care about personal accolades nor change their approach to a footy game to try to gain them. Hence, I can't see why he would be giving Dally Ms or not being in contention a second thought. We've also seen him year on year play bloody good footy both before and after being ruled out of contention by suspension in the past. So it doesn't appear to have ever affected him before.
….and that’s fine….you can think that. See how I didn’t belittle your opinion?
Actually, the correct technique is to make sure your head is not in front of their body at collision as that is how you get injured, so the tackler is meant to hit the ball carrier with whatever shoulder allows them to have their head to the side of their body as their shoulder drives in, never in front.
I agree. The guy is a pro and will prepare as per normal for a big premiership season, SOO campaign and later a World Cup title defence.
Fair enough mate, i was just meaning to be a bit humorous but admit that it was a bit snarky towards you and im not here to upset our demean fellow supporters so I apologise for that.
If that’s how you used to defend, I’m glad I wasn’t in your team. It would have been so easy to step inside and past you.
Did you actually read what I said? Obviously if they step in side you use your left shoulder but Douhei is using his left shoulder when they are outside him (on the right side) and that is why his head is in front of their body and down as they run onto him.. its how he got injured , as the poster is alluding to
I’m not interested in psycho analysing this too much, but my initial thoughts were that this is a guy that’s already done it all. He strikes me as a very high achieving, goal orientated person. I’m pretty comfortable in guessing winning a Dally M was very, very high on his 2026 goal checklist. To remove that carrot before a ball is kicked would be a mental blow in my eyes. But maybe you know Nathan better than me.
The majority of your defending when on the right will be with your left shoulder. It’s not a problem to be primarily using it when on the right because it is the correct one to use.
Yeah fair enough. If he did set that as a goal then yeah it could be. I wouldn't expect it to be the case as Typically from a sports psychology viewpoint you don't set goals where the outcome can be determined from someone outside your team environment (as in the dally m judges) but who knows what personal goals he has or hasn't in fact set for himself.
Yes I meant when Douhie defends on the right and tackles players running to his outside. He uses his left shoulder (or tries to) instead of his right.
Eric Grothe like!
What does that mean? we will lose at least 3.
Jovan could slot in just about any where ,
