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!

Apparently struggled with knee tendinitis at the start of the year. I swear he always looks like he’s about to fall apart physically when the ball is not near him. Then somehow magically is the most sublime beast on the field. 

Love Jets!

    To me, Nev is the epitome of the perfect ALF AFL footballer ie. he gives everything of himself for the team.  He must be an absolute dream to coach.

    One of the best individual games I have seen.

    All game I couldn’t stop myself yelling out “you’re a star nev”

    Absolutely. When he's in full flight he's a joy to watch and he was unbelievable yesterday.  Some of the things he does for a bloke his size are unreal. We are blessed to have him running around in the red and blue.

    Agree wholeheartedly. It is not the size that concerns everyone, it is his heart !!!!   To come back as well as he has after his start to his career says a lot about the bloke. Well done .

    He was in the AA squad of 40 last season. Hes well and truly on the selectors radar.

    Hes gone to another level.    This can only end one way.

    Listening to 3AW football commentators just now. They are unequivocally convinced that Jetta is the standout All-Australian back pocket! ?

    That was one of, if not the best, games from a small defender at Melbourne that I've seen.

    He kept us in the game early when the Dogs were on top. It was a critical period as if they had kicked 5-6 goals it could've really changed the game. But time and again he was not only in the right spot but won the contest to restrict them to just 3 goals. A few late goals by us had us right in the game at quarter time despite not playing great footy early.

    And then, even after that, he just got better and better. Winning marking contests from every position - in front, from behind and from the side; positioning himself perfectly; winning ground ball contests; nudging his man out of position and then using the ball with poise and precision each time. It was just a magnificent display of defending - concentration, commitment and confidence.

    The Dogs had 51 inside 50s, more than we have faced in a while. Yes, their forward line is weak, but that shouldn't take away from his significant contribution to conceding just 7 goals from those inside 50s.

    An absolutely clear BOG for mine.

    I used to think we had been dudded & Leroy & Lewis were easily the 2 best Jettas but Nev has proved me wrong & gone past both of them.  His peripheral vision and ability to deliver the ball cleanly & to advantage are second to none.

    Watching him up close (from behind the goals, not on the ground!) on Saturday, Jetta's ability to 'out manoeuvre' his opponent at the point of the ball arrival is outstanding. And all without getting a free against him. I thought he was BOG. His team mates must love him. What a star.

    The guy's a genius and one of the better football stories going around. Well done, Nev!

    Great article on Jetta. Who would have thought in 2009 that he and Jones would be the only players left on the list of 2018.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
