This post won't win me any love around here, and I hate to play devils advocate, but Nev has had concussion problems and is only a string of bad knocks away from walking away from the game.

One last big pay day from a rival club could set him up in case his career is cut short due to concussions.

He is in our top 10 and is irreplaceable. One of my favourites. 

Just don't underestimate the impact his injury history will have on his decision making. He has kids, and 50k extra pa over a few years will be important to him and his family.

    Neville is a little champ.

    He is a leader at the club and I will eat my polyester scarf if he leaves.

    Interesting to see how he'd be going in the Best and Fairest.  Can't remember him having a bad game or an opponent kicking a bag on him.  Obviously not getting the Press of Gawn or Viney but he has had a great year so far.

    I reckon he'd be Top 5 in the B&F, which rewards roles players play rather than whoever gets the most posessions or goals the media awards tend to focus on.

    And yet, I dont think once this year he would've been named in the paper 'bests'.

    His ability to read the play in the air against often taller opponents, and his ability to jink, twist and turn out of trouble to dish it off for someone to clear is second to none. 

    We've definitely got the 'good' Jetta here!

    Reasonable point; however I would see excellent career option for him if he maintains his ties to the MFC, where he's already been playing for 8 years.  Would definitely see him retained by the club when when he retires, hopefully 6 concussion-free years from now.

    I remember back in 2012 when Lewis and Leroy Jetta were at their peak, and at the time I couldn't help but feel that we recruited 'the dud Jetta.' My goodness was I wrong! Not only has he proved to be the best Jetta, he's easily in our top 5 most important players and still improving. 

    2014 and 2015 were terrific years for Jetta but he's taken his game to a whole new level this year. The fact he is able to play on key forwards 25+ centrimetres taller than him highlights how good a player he has become. His toughness, pace and ability to rebound are second to none at the moment. I can easily see why he's on the radar of opposition clubs. If he was playing in a Hawthorn or Geelong finals bound team, he would easily be talked up as a potential All-Australian. 

    I love your work Nev. We all do.

    He's without doubt now the most consistent Jetta. Not being blessed with the pace of his cousins has probably proven to be a blessing rather than the curse we thought it might be, as it has forced him to bust a gut developing the other areas of his game.

    He's definitely the toughest Jetta, too.

    Had a chat with his Aunty a few years ago 

    Asked her about the Jetta boys playing AFL 

    She  had an option of them all Nev was the lazy one she said Glad he proved her wrong

    A couple of seasons ago, he looked too slow, too short, and lacked involvement in the game. Just shows that one has to be very careful about passing judgement. Never be to hasty in writing off players. Nevilles game on Sunday was simply superb. He reads the game perfectly, is quick to the contest, can take a strong overhead mark, can defend against taller opponents, and can accurately pick out a team mate with his disposal. A great success story. Great for Neville, the MFC, and the brotherhood.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
