Neville Jetta Elevated

Definitely his last chance. Good luck to him, hope he adds something

Rapt for him. Over to Roosy to see what he can craft.

Added question - when a rookie is elevated, does their pay arrangement change at all?

I believe rookies are on about $60K a year, anyone know if that's true?

Good kid. Hope it finally clicks for him.


Agreed. Has always been a player I've wanted to make it because of the way he goes about it.

Couldn't have said it better!

Hope he plays this week, have always rated him

I think they get a pay bump. That said Jetta might be on more than the rookie minimum anyway so it might be different in this situation.

Considering Trengove and Clark's spots are open for the entire year and Hunt and King are a long way from senior selection there is no harm in upgrading Jetta (and Georgiou already) so that they at least are on level footing with everyone.

That said it was a quick elevation so I would imagine Jetta is every chance to play on Sunday. We will find out soon

It's a Thursday-afternoon-just-before-the-squad's-named elevation.

is that a you're-trying-to-tell-us-something comment? :lol:

I've said elsewhere that I believe he's earned the elevation. It will be interesting if he gets a game, how he will react on the field given that until the Jack Trengove announcement, his mindset would have been that it was highly unlikely he would get a chance until mid season.

I wish him luck and a turn around of fortunes if he plays this week (or next). It's a great story for Nev.

good luck to nev jetta i hope he gets a chance to play

Not surprised that he was elevated, they wouldn't have kept him if they didn't see something, but he needs to do something special to warrant the elevation.

He's been given the chance and has played many games at Casey before without his form screaming "pick me".

Seems a great guy and hopefully he'll fire but I just can't see what's changed

Perhaps the change of coach makes a significant difference. Undoubtedly players respond differently to different coaches - perhaps Jetta responds better to Roos than his predecessors.

I'm pretty sure they get match payments as well

That may be so, but I don't think endeavour is, or has ever been an issue, its been a lack of anything that would give him an edge.

Don't get me wrong, I love the guy but I have doubts. Then again I had doubts about Pederson and he played his best for the club last week, by far, and may turn out to be a handy player.

A Roos type player with a Viney-eske will for the contest, Swan like hard two way running and Strauss like laser precision kicking.

reckon he comes in for Terlich?


My memory is a little hazy but I recall he played a pretty good game against the Western Bulldogs in Round 24 last year, playing as a defender.

Given his appetite for tackling, and reasonable foot skills, I think he should take Terlich's spot a.s.a.p.

 

Got a soft spot for Nev. Definitely reminds me of wrecker Whelan in his attack and his scrap on the contest.

Btw saw a recent photo of Wheels. Been in a mighty fine paddock lol

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
