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.

    • 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.
