I see a bit of Peter Burgoyne in Jetta. Quick on the ground and off the mark like a cat on a hot tin roof. Very evasive in traffic.

    he isnt really that quick high tower, or evasive. he just goes hard at the footy, and at the man, and has pretty good skills. he is pretty quick yes but not that i've even checked the draft camp results but i doubt jetta got in the top 10 for any of the tests. happy to be corrected.

    I think we could use a player or two hat stand up in a contest. He seems to do that. Give him a few years to put on some size, work in some Byron like bumps and we may have a presence on the ground. Looking forward to seeing him play. I spoke to someone who watched him in the final and said he had him among his BOGs.

    If he can brush up on some of his kicking and handballing, he should be a hell of a find.

    His decision making skills, rather than kicking and handballing skills, don't look all that flash.

    I assume that's why we employ a ute load of coaches. To teach the raw/rare talent.

    That's their job.

    Let's wait and see before making any final calls.

    i have a feeling whelan will fall in love with this guy! he will take him under his wing and in the future we will see a clone of him laying bumps doing strong aggressive tackles

    he is pretty fast and he will get quicker.. sorta reminds me of chance bateman in those clips!!

    Interesting assessment... Anyway, fwiw i too think he will end up a Whelan clone. I damn hope so too.

    Yes, certainly keeps his feet from what I've seen.

    Would be pretty handy getting his cousin Lewis along.

    Lewis is an explosive midfielder from Swan Districts in WA.

    Reminds me of Andrew Lovett with his serious leg speed and field kicking - already averaging 15 possies per game in the WAFL.

    Have a look at his run down the wing around the 38 second mark of the vid. :o

    lewis is a gun, watched him chop up perth a few weeks ago. There are quite a few jettas in the swannies ranks this year.

    I reckon he'll go top 20, we might not even get a bite at him with our second round pick.

    What about Nevilles games this year.

    Im very happy with the way the little fella has been going.

    On the weekend against Port, there was a play on the Wing where i reckon he gave 5 to 6 efforts in one go,

    with his final effort diving for a tackle which caused the port player to muck up his kick.

    It was sensational.

    What a champion Jetta has been for us. I have a feeling once the dust settles he'll be announcing his retirement but is sticking with the team until our 2021 journey comes to an end. At his best Jetta was a fantastic defender and one of few leaders to stand out and stick tough over the past 15 years. A great role model for our younger boys, indigenous or not. Thank your for service Neville

    Love Nev!

    Thoughts turned to him again as the Jim Stynes award was announced on Sunday. Worthy ex-winner and a champion Human.

    Nev is not being spoken about enough.

    At the forefront of the culture change at the club.  

    Persistent, tough and selfless.  At his peak was almost never beaten in a contest.

    Love this man, embodies the new MFC, hope we can keep him around the club in whatever capacity.

    I stood next to his dad (not knowing that fact) one night at Docklands. We got chatting. Just a ripping bloke.

    Easy to see where Nev gets his down to earth, humble approach to life.

    Im sure the plaudits will come Nev's way absolutely deserves and will remain at the club in an off field capacity working with our young players/ indigenous culture.

    Jones and Nev are ingrained in our club culture and its important that they are found roles if they wish to accept the clubs invitation.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
