What are the bets on how long he'll be rubbed out for?

I liked some of the things he did today, but it was a pretty dirty bump which I think warrants at least a 2 week suspension.

    Don't mind if he gets rubbed out, we need more aggro, even if it's a bit dumb to start out with. We need to have a bit of a dangerous edge for a change.

    While I do agree that I'd like to see us have a harder edge, I don't like plays like that. A good, clean bump is fine, but Jetta left his feet and made contact with the head after the ball had left Whitfield's boot.

    doubt he will get more than 1 week - I think he has a good record and Whitfield was fine

    Good on him I say. We NEED danger, would love for opposition players to have to look over their shoulders when playing us.

    Kind of agree, whilst you are no use to your team when you are on the sidelines, sometimes you need someone to take one for the team, a bit like the young Hawks under Clarkson decided to draw a line in the sand and Richie Vandenburg stepped up to show they weren't going to be pushed around anymore. On the flipside GWS and Whitfield in particular are hardly as physical as the Bombers side of that era

    Stupid stupid actions by him. Well after ball had left the area jumped and left his feet and collected his head. 3 weeks but reduced for good record.

    In saying that he was good today in parts disappointing he can't build on it for a few weeks.

    I don't want to see it all the time, but just enough to keep the danger element.

    I don't care, it's better than seeing some of our players not so much as bend down to lay a tackle. Jetta goes hard and refuses to lose a contest. If that means he get suspended sometimes, than so be it.

    Next time, go for that gutless [censored] Scully.

    I hate what Tom Scully did as much as the next guy, but I wish our boys had the guts to run as hard and as long as he does.

    He had lost that contest thus the late high report...

    I can't believe what I'm reading. People are commenting as if it was a cheap shot!

    It was nothing of the sort. It was a poorly executed but warranted bump. Yes, it was late, and yes, it contacted the head, which is going to draw the MRP into play, but it was a perfectly fine thing to do, and he was well entitled to lay it how he wanted. He hit the head, he'll cop the consequences, but it was accidental and right on the ball, just a tad late.

    Leave him be. He was one of our best today, and he showed the aggression we need from all 22.

  • Quote

    Cop 3 down to 2.

    Jetta has flummoxed me from day one, I must see him differently cos he seems to pick and choose when he chases or attacks the ball.

    I honestly don't know why he seems to be pumped up on his site.

    It was great to see someone play with some intent. I have waited for a while to see someone play with the commitment of Byron Pickett and it's about time we had someone who could frighten the opposition players. A brief suspension is well worth the price if it causes the opposition to look over their shoulders in the future.

    The only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of support from the other players.

  • Quote

    Surprise, Jetta went in hard and hit someone... When they weren't looking.

    Hope he gets rubbed out, he's hopeless anyway.

    Anyway though, happy days, great last term, awesome to finally get a win

    12 possessions, 6 clangers, 3 frees against

    One of the best

    Neville is one of the few who can get his own ball ,win contests ,and then kick to the right spot .

    He can tackle ,chase and have an impact .

    I rank him to be one of the first few chosen every week due to our lack of little men with heart .

    Has he played long enough to earn a "good record"?

    Am i imagining it or wasn't he reported or suspended at some stage last year or the year before thus eliminating the good record discount.

    Happy to be corrected.

    Think it will be adjudged a 2 week hit with a loading making it 3 but an early plea bringing it back to 2.

    hmmn, terrible, Rodney Grinter, eat your heart out...

    we need more mongrel than just one player, buy at least its a start. even if a bit uncouth... however I thought the GWS player acted after realising what happened & then fell to the ground.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
