For those who wonder why Nev was rookied then elevated, he was in Casey's best 6 for the last 6 games of last season, including the finals they played in, BOG in first practice game for Casey this year then in best in 2nd and in the best 6 for the first 2 games of this year, so showing some form, spoke to him at training, feeling really good and super fit, been enjoying playing down at Casey...absolutely rapt he did the full pre season for the first time....able to finally show what he can do without worrying about coming back from injury or being underdone, body also more mature

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.

yep, the different emphasis on team values, such as responsible footy & tackling, as well as creating, makes him a better option now, than 3 years ago.

frame of mind also more mature, & ready. IMO. he's a good kid, always has been. he was always my favourite Koori player on our list since Whelan. Go Nev!

I've spoken to Neville a few times at various club functions. He is really a terrific fella. Very honest in his assessment of himself. I like the way he plays but he hasn't been able to grab a position with both hands. He is versatile to his own detriment because he moves around so much. I hope he can come of age if he gets a chance. I agree with the assessment that he could be a roos favourite if he can stop his man as a back. He will get a chance at some stage with the way he is having a crack.

Slow as.

If Jetta gets a game, the team is miles away from being competitive.

That is not really true.

He has a bit of sh-t in him, which few do. His form is very good at the moment. He is versatile. He will do the team things, tackle, smother, etc. While far from a star, how many do we actually have?

If he plays better than the bloke he replaces, that is a positive.

All the best to him, he's definitely on his last chance I think he has certainly earned this opportunity at restarting his career. If he hadn't been on the Melbourne list previously based on his form you wouldn't bat an eyelid at his elevation.

Posted

Good on him for making the most of his opportunities, but he's slow and short and can't find the ball: wouldn't be on any other list in the comp.

Posted

I think that he will do ok if he gets a run. I think that he has been stiff, has got himself injured when starting to build, and has been played out of position.

To me his best spot is as a midfielder. Not quick enough to be a defender.

Posted

I think his perceived lack of pace has been due to injury and lack of preseason fitness - hopefully we may be surprised on Sunday. Good luck to him, he's obviously worked his butt off. May become a handy and regular player for us

I thought last year Jetta was really good before getting suspended. After his ban was over, that rocket scientist Mark Neeld let him waste away in the seconds for the rest of the year. Stick it up 'em, Jets!

Read the latter part of my post.

He's not in the top 30.

Neeld knew he wasn't up to it.

That's why he was in the magoos.

Neeld didn't know a thing.

Haha yeah and his judgment is beyond reproach...

Not turning this into a Neeld bashing thread - time for both of you to move on.

Jetta is not up to AFL standard.

Posted

And I suppose Roos et al haven't got a clue.

He was the next most senior player on the list.

They had to elevate someone.

As I've said before, if he's on the park, this team is a long way off being competitive, week in, week out.

Neither is the guy who's judgment your basing that on.

They didn't have to elevate someone, and they sure as hell didn't have to play him.

But there he is, playing in a team coached by Paul Roos but not playing under Mark Neeld... Which one of those guys would you trust more?

Rhetorical question....

But, my opinion is that Jetta has shown very little in five years and he's lucky to be on any AFL list.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
