Jetta is back on the primary list and looking like playing for Casey this week.

Awesome news.

On the down side, Couch is now no longer eligible to play in the senior side. Still, of the two I'd rather see Nev up and going.

Presumably Couchy would be able to fill the vacancy left by Mitch Clark if required?

I'm a fan of Jetta's. Whether he can perform over the remainder of the season may well decide whether he remains on the list in 2013.

Good Luck Nev

Must admit I have a huge soft spot for Nev Jetta, I think this guy can play but it has to be in the midfield or down back. I loved the story of the family moving to Melbourne when he was drafted, I feel sorry for him due to the constant injuries he has had. It is a few years back now but his game against Brisbane at Visy park was one of the most dominate game we have seen from any of our midfielders since, hard was great around the clearances.

I hope he can get his body right for the next 10 weeks, fplay a couple of senior games, dominate finals for Casey and retain his spot on our list for a couple more years. This kid is all heart and deserves some luck.

Will be good for Jetta to have an opportunity to remain on our list, its not over for Nev just yet perhaps.

Although most likely the writing is already on the wall, it is never too late to turn it around,

good luck to Nev, hopefully he knuckles down for the hard work - as he needs to improve a lot to remain on our list.

I think Nev will play a few games at Casey, regain his match fitness and then come into the 1sts. He is hard at it and offers us something different in the midfield mix. I'm not sure if its quite make or break time for him yet as he is still young - dont think either of Bennell or Jetta will be cut from our list at the end of the year.

Speaking of Jettas, it took ages for Leroy to come good. On the other hand Lewis was always a freak. Was playing WAFL 1sts at a young age was the black and white's version of Cyril Rioli.

I expect that Neeld will like Nev's workrate and hardness, and I hope he can stay fit, and put his hand up for senior selection over the next 4 to 6 weeks.

I agree DWA, & hope your right.

Nev is IMO a good type, lacks outright speed, but I think he has some strong skills to add to our list.

I hope he can mature quickly & keep a place to develop further.

You can be a real pain Old Dee...do you ever post anything that doesn't involve sh***** on the Club, the players or other posters?

if anybody actually listens to what the coaches say, at the beginning of the season before he got injured, Jade Rawlings said in public and in a conversation with me at the Family Day that Nev had improved out of sight over the off season....he was fitter than ever.....spoke to him after the injury and Jade said he was [censored] off he had lost him from the back

Although I am biased my MFC jumper has the nr 39 on the back.

Nev will still be at the Club next season

Old dee is allright mate, never any malice in his posts, just loves to take the bait whenever #7 is mentioned.

In fact, If you ever get bored on demonland you can go 'fishing' for old dee. He's a easy to 'catch', goes for a lot of different baits; JB, #7, Bennell, Jamie, old #43, Carey Park Panthers, Jetta's mate, outs for this week, only couple of touches, possible delists etc etc

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
