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.

    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

    You're the one supplying the bullets, mate.

    the travesty of justice is for the victorian people...not that particular feeble excuse of a politician

    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.

    I am eating humble pie. Absolutely amazing turn around for this bloke. Just shows his work and dedication is finally paying off.

    Well done nev you are now officially in my best 22 and a very important member in our side. I thought today I was seeing Mathew Whelan out there again at times.. must get my eyes checked.

    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".

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
