Nev Jetta - long term injury list

Featured Replies

Reckon after Davey's performance as the small forward on the weekend there's still hope for Nev yet. If he can get back and play some decent games as the small forward late in the season and manage to chase, tackle, keep the ball in our forward 50 and kick a couple of goals there'a a chance for him yet.

Good to see Nev has been upgraded on the injury list from indefinite to 4-6 weeks.

Hopefully he gets a chance to show his worth before seasons end.

I feel the way he plays fits in well with Neeld’s footy philosophy.

I've always seen more in Nev Jetta than in Jamie Bennell, and it's just a shame that he hasn't been able to get on the park.

Only problem with your suggestion is that Jetta is not a small forward and never has been...

We must get Nicholson and magner onto the senior list. Its also going to be a busy draft that we need to make room for. Unfortunately there are going to be some sacrifices and jetta is most likely to be one. It would be great if they could make him a rookie and give him a chance


That Bennell and Jetta were from the same club (or was it opponents in a WA grand final?), drafted one after the other, and were good friends and rivals in their junior career always puts the two of them together in my mind.

I find it interesting (but probably spurious, really) that each of them seems to have all the strengths thag the other lacks. Jetta doesn't seem to have the damaging power that Bennell (sometimes) has, while Bennell lacks the mongrel and tackling effort that I see coming from Jetta.

Real shame for Jetta, I had really hoped to se him develop this season and find out how he goes. I definitely haven't written him off as an AFL player but as other's have pointed out, we're looking at four early picks and thn whatever else comes through, lined up for the alleged deep/super/amazing/fantabuloso/mega draft of awesomeness.

I would reckon that Neville Jetta's AFL career isn't quite over, but he's not likely to see next season at the Demons. I can even envisage him spending a season or two of WAFL and one day coming back to AFL as a mature, tough player 'picked for purpose'. May even slip into a strong team looking for a top-up.

But right now, al I've got is best wishes for the so far unlucky kid.

I guess if Neeld sees him as a tough player who obeys orders, then he is in with a chance. Pity he isn't as quick as his South Melbourne Sydney namesake.

I'd look to put Jetta on the rookie list next year. I believe that despite his lack of size and pace he's got attributes at a coach like Neeld would love like commitment to the contest, and by all reports has a good head on his shoulders. I've never been a huge fan, but I'm keeping an open mind because of the attributes he does have, rather than the ones he doesn't.

Just a shame the season will be just about up before he gets his chance to show Neeld what he's got, and we've got quite a bit of list clearing that needs to be done to fit in the next intake of talent. That's why I'd consider him for the rookie list.

 

I agree Nasher.

I think in limited game time, Neville has shown at times that he can actually be very effective.

I'd like to see him get a bit more time to prove himself, injury permitting.

Would fit neelds mould perfectly. Pity he has been injured so often, probably means he will have to be delisted and then rookies or traded.

I really like Jetta

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
