Fantastic result for Nev - shows what a bit of dedication & commitment, (garnished with encouragement from a Coach who is clearly a good 'people person'), can achieve. Let's hope that a few more do the 'hard yards' and generate the well-deserved rewards.

One mans list clogger is another mans excellent small defender.

I am so happy for him and the club and the fans.

Well done to him and well done to all the (many) various admins that kept him around for him to make such a difference in 2014.

Has probably been the highlight of the year for me. I always enjoy players that have done it the hard way really finding their feet. Rarely gets beaten one on one. Hits his targets and has regularly shown a lot of courage where he puts his body. As said above, I hope it's infectious.

Very well deserved, I doubt many people could've predicted his re-emergence, just been watching a bit of the Hawthorne game and he was excellent. He's a great example of persistence and I hope he's able to build on it into 2015.

He and Pederson are two of the most improved players in the competition. Who would've guessed?

Yes well deserved. great story. He is a great example of someone playing his role and not trying to be someone else. tough strong and reliable.

We always complain there are few positions on the ground where you can pencil in each week for a player to do their job, but he is one.

If we can get a few more each year to fulfil 'roles' rather than looking for champions we will start winning more games and avoiding blowouts.

Had this discussion with a mate recently, Jetta would be a stand out for aboriginal players as a pure stopping type defensive player. That's a pretty rare breed.

I can name a few aboriginal defenders but most are the attacking Yarrans or Leon Davis types, who although in the back half of the ground are real line breakers.

Can anyone name other real 'defenders' who were aboriginal?

Wirripunda was one of the best both attacking and defensively. anyone else?

Congratulations Nev.

Who said the coaching can't help make or break a player? Roosy showed belief and no doubt told him a few home truths, and Nev put his head down, worked his butt off, and deserved every accolade and success that he himself ultimately achieved.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
