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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
