Neville Jetta Elevated

Jetta replaces Trengove on senior list

Good on him. Looks like he's playing some good footy at the moment so hopefully he can take it up into the firsts if he gets a game.

Best of luck to him with reviving his career.

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?

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.

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.

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
