Neville Jetta Elevated

Little Richard
in Melbourne Demons

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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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?
