I couldnt go unfortunately. Wish i could. I so much prefer watching footy live. I sit at the top od the ponsford where i would have seen what simpson had ahead of him if he won that ball.

The tv angle shits me. Just a tight focus, including the replays. Why not at least on the replay show the down the down the ground shot.

Ivw heard 3 diff versions of what was ahead of simpson from the media. Can someone who was tell me for certain please?

I used to work on the footy doing replays/highlights, channel Seven tend to focus on tight shots and celebrations I suppose going more with the emotion of the game. Whereas Fox Footy go for more of the wider shots to give you idea of tactics. But remember Fox don't show ads, Seven does so they have less time to cram stuff in. 

It also might be as simple as they didn't have the shot (Nev & co would've been ants compared to the rest of the field). It's easy to think there's bias etc but 9 times out of 10 it's simply how someone thinks the game should be covered and what the story is.

The Jetta contact with Thomas was a legitimate attempt to go for the ball. Besides Thomas won the ball and handballed it to Simpson. Simpson initiated contact with Jetta. Nothing to complain about there.

 

Yep, though this fella in one of those guys who seems to feel the free kick count should be 30-0 his sides way each week, so I lost interest arguing the point.

Anyways...  how about little Nev!  Legend!

Lewis was giving him a huge rap on AFL 360 tonight (I think that's pretty much what is used as the sound over in the video clip)

What was with that giant oaf from the Gold Coast giving him a clip around the ear and then yelling in his face?  Jetta is probably the least deserving player of that kind of treatment in our whole team.  It's almost like he wanted the MFC faithful to boo him.

That contest summed both players up - Jetta is as tough as they come, while Dixon would struggle to knock the fluff off a cappuccino.

My guess is that the big Neanderthal thought Jetta had done his best Joel Selwood impersonation. But who cares. Jetta is the 180cm version of Rance with about 1/10th of the hype.

This guy is fast becoming my fave Demon of all time. Heart, courage and elite decision-making. He really is the complete package.

When do we start talking statues?

Get on the bandwagon. I propose it should be placed 30 m from goal on bothe ends of the ground just to remind us of all his second efforts he has made on behalf of the team.

I love that Gray and Wingard got moved up the field just to get the [censored] away from Nev. Unfortunately Gray helped get them moving but we don't have a Nev in the guts.

Our backline generally is very under-rated. Jetta and Hibberd are the backbone, Lewis is  the onfield coach, Hunt, along with Salem provide run and dash and Frost and Oscar are developing nicely.

Jetta body positioning is sublime. Whether a high ball or ground ball he always has better positioning than his opponent

I love how he is getting some kudos this year. 

 

I think the the only reason is because Roos is in the media and has highlighted his performances. This has caused the others to watch/catch on etc etc

I found a pic of Nev on the net....

Hows charlie dixons form tackling jetta high and then giving it to him while he was on the ground? 

What a [censored]

Jetta is a legend

Good old Charlie drops a lot of marks he gets his hands to, he likes it on the lead not the contest.

If you watch him, he regularly takes his eyes off the ball. For such a big man he really doesn't like to mix it up in the air  when he doesn't know what's around him.

I'm surprised our so called media experts, particularly some of the Port big mouths, not mentioning you Cornes or Tredrae, haven't called him on it.

He appeared to think Jetta fell at the knees and ducked. Watching the replay though and it's clear Jetta is going full on at the contest with the ball and Dixon being the typical lazy player he is clipped him high. Embarrassing for Dixon.

He is the best reclamation project in MFC history. To think he couldn't get a game and was delisted during our darkest years gives me shivers down my spine. In 2017 he is a top 5 player in a top 5 side.

Makes you wonder if we had the likes of Rossy, and now Goody and others at the club back in those dark days when all we had was people who didn't have a clue how to develop and our boys.

Jetta has been amazing this year and is becoming one of the all times greats at the club.

I wonder if Morton/Cook/Toumpas could have actually developed as really good players under the current structure? Macca has been huge for our kids. 

Jetta is proof that good players can thrive in the right environment.

Apparently Matt Lloyd does a rolling All Australian team on the Sunday Footy Show each week.  Not sure if he has Hibberd and Jetta in there yet, but they had better be in it today.

I remember watching Jetta at a Luna Park family day a few years back.  He was there with his partner & young child/children.  No fans around him & quite inconspicuous.  Don't imagine it will be this way at the next family day.....

Welcome, but I am not sure you can ever say that being a dee is a mistake, misfortune maybe, but never a mistake.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
