[olisik 4,060]

Still ???

Last time 2-4 weeks lasted for 10 months so give it another 2 months and itll drop to 2-3 weeks

[Footynut 302]

Will Neville Jetta ever play again....seriously it's been forever

[Rogue 585]

Jetta's been out a long time. Tough for him because I reckon he might just have gone okay under Neeld.

Nice to see them in order of weeks out

[Jaded No More 68,855]

BRING THE GYS IN!!!

Tell me about it...thought he'd flourish in Neeld's environment but we'll never know.

Always had a soft spot for him after he dribbled through that goal against the Filth right in front of their cheersquad and pressed his index finger to his mouth. Copped an absolute barrage.

Tough kid and I desperately hope he makes it back.

From what i've seen online Jurrah has been dropping steadily, so i'd say progress is being made at a reasonable rate. Nev Jetta has jumped down a bit though, wasn't he at about 4-6 weeks just last week?

Would really like to see him get back playing, not so much for the team but just for himself, I hate seeing players lingering on the injury list like he has.

[olisik 4,060]

Taggerts a worry, first year and has only had one or two games for Casey and barely trained.

Unless he has a solid next year I can see him having a very short career.

I love Nev too.He has a really good kick on him and I can see him as a "front and centre" crumber in front of Mitch-except that Mitch Clark never drops em .

I think Jetta is worth holding onto seasons end and I think we will. The lack of small forwards will work in his favor. His probably the best small forward we have. Davey and Lawrence arn't making the cut.

I don't know about that. I think sometimes he falls into the 'small indigenous player, therefore small forward' stereotype. I see him more as a midfielder. He's hard at it and can run.

Lawrence looks like he can play, but doesn't seem to get involved much. He could get lucky given our need in this area. If he kicks a bag soon he may hold on. Good build and has potential.

[olisik 4,060]

Jettas to skinny to be a midfielder. Not enough grunt about him in my opinion.

[mauriesy 7,256]

Jetta's too skinny to be a midfielder.

He's the same height and only 1kg less than Nathan Jones.

I agree olisik

My gut tells me it is doubtful we will see him again in 2012.

If correct he will have played a half a game for the year.

Of course if you know what goes the wrong way we may not see him again.

[olisik 4,060]

I think jurrah should be thrown into the mix as trade bait to be honest. I know people here love him but it looks as if he is made of ceramic and takes longer then usual to get over injuries.

Some clubs may be willing to pay something of value for him and i struggle to see him having any big impact at the MFC in the future due to injuries and off field concerns.

Who on earth would consider him at this point.

Unless there is a dramatic change in AS I doubt you would get an offer at 2012 trade time.

[bing181 9,193]

Don't know if anyone watched Misson's report online, but Jetta only a week away from getting back to Casey - and Evans the week after that.

On the other hand, he covered everyone on the injury list - except Liam. I found it a bit pointed, especially after Rudeboy's posts, but perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

Which of course, we never do at Demonland.

Nah, forget it.

Are you sure you're thinking of the right bloke ? Jetta may lack a few things but grunt ain't one of them. If he was a step quicker I'd like to see him tried as a small defender. He relishes the physical side of the game & loves a tackle

[Rogue 585]

I don't know about that. I think sometimes he falls into the 'small indigenous player, therefore small forward' stereotype.

Indeed.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

If some of the injured players start coming back where does that leave Magner and Couch who were promoted from Rookies because of injuries to others?

[The Chazz 4,077]

If some of the injured players start coming back where does that leave Magner and Couch who were promoted from Rookies because of injuries to others?

We were able to elevate one at the start of the year due to having 1 veteran spot filled with Green (we can have 2 vets, but if we don't, we can elevate a rookie). That would take care of Magner.

As for the other rookies, Gawn is on teh LTI list, and will not be returning this season. That allows us to elevate another (Couch).

Mid season, I believe all Clubs can elevate another rookie.

As we have Couch and Nicholson as rookies that have already been elevated due to LTIs, and given that we now only have one player on the LTI list (Gawn), I'd imagine Couch would replace Gawn and Nicholson is the mid-season rookie elevation.

[John Dee 445]

Mid season, I believe all Clubs can elevate another rookie.

After round 11 clubs can play an extra rookie on a week by week basis; no requirements to elevate them to the main list.

He would have the most grunt out of any player in this side! Have you not seen him tackle?
