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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
