Wasn't that Silvagni he outmarked ?

He outmarked Silvagni. 

But he outbodied Casboult in a 1 on 1 marking contest 30m out in the 2nd quarter. 

Pound for pound.

Yeah, just saw the photo on the Foxfooty article re Jetta.

Great article by Anna Harrington.  I've liked a few of her articles.

He got 1 coaches vote. That is criminal.

Its likely that Bolton didnt give him a single vote.  Sad.

Don't argue with them either. They will bring you down to their level, then bet you with experience.

Nah, I remember that one too but pretty sure in the Punt Road pocket the ball was kicked into a  bunch of players. Nev came from behind and spoiled Casboult - I said outmarked but it was a spoil. Hard to do for a small bloke...

Idiot Richmond supporter just tried to tell me he should've been pinged for holding the man on Simpson

Idiot Richmond supporters are idiots

The way I saw it was that Simpson turned to try and block Jetta

He has a remarkable vertical leap. Hence why he can compete with the bigger markers.

He also has Frostie to thank for helping him out.

Exactly.  Frost went to cover Thomas and massively helped Nev out.  Nev's reaction time to spot Simpson running past and get over to cover him, then out-body him and win the ball was outstanding.  Great defensive team play that almost certainly saved the game for us.

Nev named in AFL Team of the Week.  His form is becoming hard to ignore!

LOL.  Absolutely!  (I can't claim credit for it anyway.  Found that little gem on Facebook!  - 'bout all FB is good for, mind you, tossing up the occasional gem like that!)

I pose this question: what makes Nev such a good player from a defensive perspective? Is it his balance or centre-of-gravity? Strength and tenacity? Positioning or body-work? Steady nerves and execution? He just biologically (as to AFL) seems to have no right to be as good as he is.

I've seen a lot of blokes look at him, and they say to themselves "no, too tough for me"

Jetta has been doing this stuff for three years now, it's only that this one particular play was at a crucial stage that everyone is taking notice.

... which I have been having a running arguement about with some Blues [censored] at work for 2 days now. 

Will not accept that the contest with Simpson at the end was fair, or the "illegal interference" on Thomas in the play just before that.

I just laugh at him, as I did when he claimed we were gifted 5 umpire goals from directly in front while they had none...  

Delusional to the point where I dont even bother trying to argue anymore. Just nod and smile

we certainly were gifted some goals but not by the umpire, but by poor defensive play by carlscum players

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?

Defenders get it tough. A forward kicks the wiinning goal and is a hero. A defender saves a match losing goal and is doing his job.

I knew they were out watching on the TV, but I didn't realise just how out they were.  Nev loses that one on one and they could have strolled in and raffled the goal.

Nev actually went to ground. If Frostie hadn't come in, Carlton were away. Having said that, Nev's second effort once he got to his feet was great. I think it was a joint effort, but Frostie's efforts seem to have been overlooked.

Not by me. Loved the shrug and the afterburners. Belief in himself when everything was on the line. I'm really loving the trade deal that got us him, ANB and Omac.

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.
