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?

Needs to not be injured for a little while to really show his ware. I rate his toughness and generally good skills. He'll not be a star by any means, but I think he can stick in the team.

I like the guy but I'm not entirely sure why. Would keep for one more year at least.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
