Neville Jetta Elevated


Little Richard

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
