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

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
