Neville Jetta Elevated

[bing181 9,218]

Because he was elevated it doesn't mean he had to be picked. They could have gone with Clisby, Toumpas or others. He must have earned his spot.

Too obvious! He's also been included ahead of Nicholson, Byrnes and Blease.

Has earned his stripes, and will now hold his place in the team. Pleased for him.

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.

No one is saying he's a future star, but he deserves his shot given his form and the fact he's had a good run at preseason.

You probably would have cut Jobe Watson too... Some players take a while to reach full potential, but as Melbourne supporters we don't always understand that.

Along with jetta, it would still be nice to have bennell and petered, bloody neeld.

Has he shown any potential worth nurturing? Or, just another poor draft pick, that we're so desperately holding onto to.....

Post of the year!

Not every player is supposed to become a superstar.

That logic escapes most MFC supporters.

Agree esp Petterd always thought it was a mistake to let him go. Played a cracker last night. It still doesn't discount the fact that I trust the selectors to give Nev another chance.

No, you're right..that's why we'll always hover between 10th - 16th.

God you're a pain in the fundamental orifice!

Haha gee it'd be a big salary cap if every team had 40+ superstars....

Don't deal in abuse chooky boy....please look elsewhere.

Thanks.

Stop exaggerating.

Stop exaggerating.

Oh, so now you're saying not every player has to be a superstar.... Hmmmmmmmm

Here we go....the logician is about to pick apart everything I say.

Sure, every list has some average players, but Jetta is below that....he's just not that good.

Im sure thats why Roos picked him.......because he is below average.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Really hope it works out for Nev. I think he has much upside. I wonder where he fits in a role playing sense though for the team as i just haven't seen enough of him.

Wondering how others who may have seen him recently at Casey view his role in the seniors, assuming he gets a call up soon?

I'd cop 1 ATM.

Pick in the 50s.

He is a success for a pick that late.

And, what is wrong with the bloke getting a chance under the new coach?

Nothing.

In my opinion, as a poster on this forum, sharing in a footy debate, I don't reckon he's good enough for AFL footy.

[rpfc 28,386]

I guess we will find out throughout the year who is, and isn't, up to the standard.

I don't know why we aggressively talk our players down though.

They may not be world beaters but we can use some role players and maybe Neville is one...

Perhaps we talk them down because we've suffered a decade of trauma following the MFC.

"We"? The only one I see talking him down here is you.

The guy gets elevated to the senior list and you ring in the news by dumping all over him. Time and place.

He was pick #51 or something, wasn't he? I agree, mate, he's lacked something in the past, but he can't be any worse than Terlich. If he manages to break even with his opponent and hit targets by hand and foot, he's an upgrade.

[DEE fence 5,007]

For all the doubters, who is our coach again? Has he not been delivering on what he said he'd do, this is no reality bus, he reckons Jetta is worth a go, so I'm happy to see how the season goes. But then maybe it's just me living in the US, they love a redemption story here.

Dumping all over him? Quit the hyperbole.

Too slow for AFL footy.....watch the game. How many slow, 5'10" players get a game for other clubs?

He's a good Casey player.
