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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
