Neville was extremely diligent in his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery over the summer, only to injure his foot during the practice games at Casey, which cost him four months. He was again meticulous with his rehab, and was consequently able to come straight back in at VFL level and play good football. Neville then earned a recall into the AFL side against Port Adelaide in Darwin, after which he was able to hold his spot in the side for the remainder of the season, where he played a variety of different roles within the team. - Andrew Nichol (back line development coach) melbournefc.com.au

Great kid but been treading water for four years. Doesn't impact games, low possessions , not quick, no hurt factor, tackles a lot because he is never first to the ball. A real spectator on the field. But a lovlier guy you couldn't meet.

Maybe he should spend a bit of time with ?cousin Lewis......find out what is really required especially mentally to succeed. After all, Lewis took a couple of years to really fire, didn't he?

Heres a guy who has it all to work with, he just needs to work harder, much harder to utilise his footy gifts.

In danger of being a show pony . Hopefully he takes that step up, for if he does he'll be brilliant.

Up to him, c'mon Nifty !!

If I wasn't so amazed by what you wrote, I would be disgusted, last season Nev had worked digilently or diligently as it says on the MFCs ite, he was ready to go when he did his ankle and was out for four months, to get back into the side (yes I agree pretty easy last season), shows he is more than a show pony, he could have easily coasted with his rehab

If he can get through unscathed this pre season, and if he does it will be the first time by the way, he will be able to show what he can do

I rate him and reckon he is in our best 22 - if and when he can get fit. If he gets a big injury again this year then it is over.

He isn't Sydney Swans Jetta quick but is surely not slow. His first 3 or 4 steps away from trouble are quite quick and you will find he does get space when he has the ball which means he has time to deliver it. And he can kick all right, so that puts him ahead of a many of our hackers (Bartram, MacDonald, Bail).

So far an average player that has had a lot of injuries.

Would not be surprised to see him moved on.

Im a fan of Jettas, but this is probably the only post in the thread that reflects reality!

A small forward with no goal sense, or a midfielder who doesn't find the footy enough? I don't think he has played in defence yet, but I feel like people are clutching at straws thinking he has the tools to play there.

36 games over 4 years is enough opportunity to show something, even with a few injuries, and I don't think he comes close to demanding a new contract. Delist for me.

He is not fast then and his level of pace is not above moderate for his type of player at AFL.

Simon Godfrey type but a slightly better kick. Hard worker with lots of endeavour but I cant see what set of skills he has that he will establish a regular position in a competitive side.

I wouldnt be surprised if he is cut. either

    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.
