I'm with you FireIn. Nev was back to his courageous and reliable best today.

he'd been crunched badly in the first few games too.

So resillient and great to see him bouncing back.

I know we've disagreed on some issues but spot on.


Great game from the great man today. 

I just love him to bits. Such a fighter and a class act!

 

Always gives a consistent effort, regardless of form.

He's come a long way. Of all the players of the really bad times, you wouldn't necessarily have expected that he'd be one of the survivors. But he ended up out-lasting some much more skilled players just through his tenacity.

Loved his attack on the ball and the player. Gaining more confidence each week.

Very rarely post but an avid reader of the forum. Nev’s Game today was reminiscent of the great Gavin Wanganeen, won the ball in the air, on the ground contest after contest. Quite simply watching him today was like watching a virtuoso performance of a master at the absolute top of his game. A must for All Australian.

Just finished watching the Jarrah ( SIGH) highlights and there was Nev, playing as a forward. There was Mr Jones, Mr Watts, but the guy who caught my eye - apart fro Jarrah ( SIGH) is nev. Love the guy so much.

He was so easily our best player that it wasn't funny today. Nev's game today was 3 votes. He was simply magnificent. 

BOG today. After a slow start to the season, he's worked into ripping form and will surely be All Australian this year. What a brilliant small defender he's been the past few years!


Best back pocket in the game

You (the Royal we) need to listen to the “Inside Melbourne” podcast from May 24. “Steady as she goes” Neville is the guest and a really good listen.

He could have been lost to the Dees and AFL footy... today he was the star of the show. Why a gun.

As much as I said I wouldn't, you've got me wanting to watch those highlights. Where Jetta has come from is as much a reason to be amazed as how good he plays as a defender these days.


 

After Lever went off, he took on his role. And played his own. Almighty effort.

Was amazing today.  Thank you to those that threw him the rookie lifeline 

:roos:

Roos watched Jetta play in last few games of 2013.  And, as they say in the classics:  the rest is history.

Just hope we sign Nev up asap.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
