I reckon he could become a small defender in the Chris Johnson mould. I haven't seen him play down back, but his pace is better than some would have you believe. Chris Johnson started as a forward, but became a fantastic tough 180cm small back. Neville is the same height, but 10 kilos lighter.

I hope he's put on an extensive weight training program and trains with the defenders over summer.

I think Nev may be a victim of other peoples' expectations to some extent. A lot of people look at him and see a small aboriginal player, so they expect lightning speed, flashy skills and the odd fre

I love Neville Jetta. Gutsy and HAS A CRACK. Also has the pace to get himself out of trouble and can operate in a phonebox. Kicking has improved, still a little way to go. With a few games in a r

I respect Neville Jetta and hope he stays. I don't respect Brent (hands on the hips) Moloney and hope he goes. He can take Col with him.

Still see nothing of value in this bloke. Some people see him as a midfielder, but he struggles to get double figures for possessions most weeks. Other see him as a forward, but he has zero goal sense. Add in his regular injuries, and you have a genuine list clogger. Next, please.

Pretty much agree, he doesn't get enough of the ball for me. Has averaged 12 possessions a game each year with 3 tackles. His career high was in his first year with 24 disposals against Carlton.

Doesn't take a leadership role and plays like a bit player with the occassional cameo. Too date he is just another Melbourne player that leaves too much to too few.

Theo, he averages 12 possessions because he has spent most of his time playing as a small forward, he is not a small forward and will show his true value once we can release him in our midfield or our backline.

Neeld was interviewed a few weeks ago and when asked to name a couple of good prospects at the club Nev Jetta was he first one he talked about, so he's going to get another contract based on his comments.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
