It's such a shame that s bit like Jonesy, Nev's best form is a few years behind him at the time the team has been most successful.  Though like Jones he will almost certainly miss out on Saturday night, like Jonesy I'm sure he will revel in the sucess of the team as a whole and can be more than proud of the part he has played in the journey for us to get where we are.  I think he'll also be particularly happy for Kossie as I get the sense that there is a strong bond between those two guys and that Nev has been quite influential with the mentoring and support he has provided for Kossie.

    Absolute champ I think he will retire at the end of the year. Thank you for your service Lord Nev in my top 50 Melbourne players I have seen.

    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.

    I hope the CLUB makes those invitations.

    These are the people you need when building your football club. It goes beyond the basic mechanics of training hard and rocking up. It's these people with real character that help you form your culture as a club and the values you want to promote. 

    From all accounts Neville does way more than even most good samaritans in the community and when it's all said and done I'll think of him for the person he is just as much as the amazing footballer.

    Couldn't agree more Layzie, Nev does so much extra work behind the scenes and is so generous with his time. Plays a big leadership role in general as well with the indigenous players. An absolutely ripper bloke with an amazing family behind him. From my short stint in the club I was most impressed with him, the utmost professional.

    I loved the 2018 Elim Final barrier he put up that stopped Selwood so rapidly that his spittle went flying.

    I think we still have Matty Whelan at the club in a role helping younger players

    An absolute gem of a player & clubman. Got himself back after delisting and was definitely the best small defender &team man for years. Has left nothing behind.

    One of a number on whose shoulders the club's culture and reputation has been built.

    A lifetime legacy.

    He has done the heavy lifting in his years at the club and the current team has been built on the shoulders of players like Jetta and Jones, unfortunately he will take no part in the Grand Final but he and Jones will be there in spirit.

    An absolute hero for our club and a worthy role model for every young supporter and player.

    It’s scary to think how close we came to losing him from football and what we would have all missed out on.

    A all time favourite.

    I really hope Nev is behind the scenes working with Kozzzy to show him the hard work and discipline of AFL footy. I’m sure Nev is a wonderful mentor to our team and will be part of our big day.

    One of my all time favourites. 
    I remember way back when he and Bennell were being written off, I could see something in Nev, and absolutely loved the career he carved after getting rookied. 
     

    As CB said. Should’ve been AA. If they actually picked lock down defenders. 
     

    That last quarter he played a against Carlton a few years back, winning one on ones all over the place then the n in the final seconds v Kade Simpson. The height of his powers. 
     

    Surely he stays on in some capacity.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
