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.

I heart Nev.

Quality human who will be missed when he retires.

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.

 

Up with our best ever back pockets


Just a wonderful person, we are privileged to have him at our club. 

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.

My favourite lord nev moment.

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.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
