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!

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

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
