WELCOME BACK TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - NEVILLE JETTA


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Strauss and Blease at least have attributes that could be considered elite in kicking and pace respectively, which makes it worth persisting with them. Jetta has nothing.

Jetta has toughness and a desire to tackle - neither Blease and Stauss have those attributes from what I have seen.

Roos might have some pre-requisites to playing, and they are probably closer to Jetta's attributes than the other two.

I would agree with this. It's one of the reasons I was surprised to see Jetta delisted, and not at all surprised he has been retained.

The Swans style is frenetic, and Jetta is closer to that mould than the likes of Strauss and Blease.

rpfc, I don't have to put words into people's mouths, some wonderful stuff comes out of it's own accord

Unless you are stood next to me when I speak to players you have no idea what I am saying, so you can keep your advice to yourself

And who made you sheriff, don't remember voting for you

All through this, at lest Nev knew he had one supporter in his corner, and he thanked me for it

Jetta has the attitude that Roos loves, so he's being given time to see if his game will develop under skilful coaching. If not, he's gone. Strauss and Blease have a year to show that they're more than one-trick ponies. Much as I love seeing Nev tackle and Sam take the game on, I don't expect to see any of them in 2015.

You have told us that you relayed to Dawes what people 'think of him' on here. Why don't you also tell him that some on here think he should be captain?

And all the players have 'the supporters in their corner' - you wear that guernsey (even the white one) we will support you.

You can relay that to the players aswell if you want to...

The fact that Jetta was our last pick in the draft would indicate to me that the clue don't expect a lot from him. It would seem that he will have to show a lot to get a game, and a lot more to get another contract next year.

I like Nev, as do most on here, but this is a business and he hasn't shown enough in the time he's been on the list.

Stayathome, you've just confirmed for me that although you try to convince yourself you're doing some sort of public service and supporting the players, it's really all about trying to present yourself as being "one of their few true supporters" and that you want to feel special and get a pat on the back from them.

I'd be annoyed at your misrepresentations, if I at all thought the players took you seriously.

As it is, in just embarrassed for you.

FCS, support the club with all your gusto, but don't go peddling crap to the players about internet warriors sledging them.

Sorry Machsy do about nothing..............As I said to the other one or two comedians who have posted, unless you are stood next to me, you have no idea what I do or don't say to players, so I would ask you keep your instructions to yourself

I enjoy talking to the players, I don't represent myself as anything except a supporter, nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about

It is some posters on here who seem to have the problem with their self esteem

The players know how some supporters feel about them, without me telling them, I know because they've told me

And I will continue to do what I like, as you expect to, as I said if what I write annoys you, don't read it, I am about to add you to my list of skip overs

Jetta would almost be one of te first picked at the moment.

Agreed. Up there with Pederson and Dunn for "most improved player". Full credit to him, he's making the most of this opportunity.

Jetta also possesses a good footy brain, strength, wins one on one and has the ability to size up an option quickly. Is miles ahead of the other 2 on these attributes.

He is more than just a "trier".

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
