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

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.

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.

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.

Hope he plays this week, have always rated him

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

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
