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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
