Neville Jetta re-signs

Featured Replies

I am on record as not rating him all that highly early on. Seemed like the sort of bloke you would love to have a quiet beer with while having a BBQ in the back yard and watching the rug rats run around, but only a Meh player.

 No real turn of speed to use up forward (if fact i thought he was fairly slow for a small fwd). I thought it smacked of desperation when the club rookied him and tried the whole "reinvention as a backman thing"

He turned it all around through a mountain of hard work and never-give-up attitude that a few other AFL players could take note of.

I got this one wrong.

Great signing.

Ditto.

Awesome news, just love him, get him up here........

A typical Roos type, plays his role and plays it hard. Well done Nev and MFC. 

 

This must be a record, 28 posts and no giffs!

 

I stood next to Nev's dad some years back after he (Nev) had been injured and was out for some weeks. His dad is a ripper bloke.

This from an article in The Age last year:

"Rawlings said he considered Jetta to be "one of the most impressive individuals I've worked with in my coaching career". In addition to his determination and his humility, he admired Jetta's pride in his Indigenous heritage, which he has conveyed to his teammates.

"He's such a genuine person, he's shared some of his background and life and it's just captured the whole room. Because he's not a person who speaks often in front of the group, it also holds more power," Rawlings said. ...

 

Well, I'd always thought Bennell was better, but it was obvious early in Roos' first year that I was wrong. Neville just needed to be taught how to play proper footy and Roos was just the ticket.


Great news! 

Hopefully he'll play a blinder on Sunday, as I feel he's been a bit down in the last month or so....

So, who's left?

Hogan

T Mac

Watts

Kent

And??

I would be surprised if any of the above didn't re-sign. Watts, Hogan and Kent work well together in the Forwardline and Watts has claimed that he wishes to continue. Mac, I am sure also wants to continue, especially if his brother is part of MFC's FD's long-range plan.

I'm not sure, Jetta was always a footballer's footballer and looking back he really was one player who never got a chance to cement a position or place in the side through injury.

Two more years.

Great news obviously.

 

 

Hopefully the first domino. Actually maybe the second after Viney. 


i like nev as a player and glad he's re-signed. congrats nev.

however, i do think that generally on 'land he is just a bit over-rated and certainly not aa material. just my opinion

hope he makes me eat my words on sunday

I'm also surprised that it is only a 2 year deal, maybe I overrate him but I think he is one of the better small defenders in the AFL right now. He's not quick but has great agility, football smarts and is a decent kick over 30 or so meters. He also plays a lot taller than you would expect, I think it was against the bulldogs where he just kept spoiling over and over again against Redpath (could be wrong here). 

I've always backed Nifty.

At the start of his career he never got it much but his disposal was always quick and clean.

His marking and spoiling have become a feature.

Glad to see him ,Watts,Gawn and Jones improve themselves and the club after so many bad years.

Would be so awesome if he won the Bluey, though I think a 4th-7th place is more likely

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
