The strength of his defensive game finally gained some recognition from the football world after three solid years and he was unlucky not to gain All Australian honours.

    Just solid

    I have the greatest respect for this bloke and for the way he resurrected his career. Well done Nev, may next season be even better.

    It took me a while to warm to Neville, but he had another very solid year. I know the difference was minute, but I'm surprised he didn't finish higher in the B&F given his consistency. Perhaps his lack of attacking play hurts his standing.

    Jetta would have to be in the conversation with Jones & Viney as the best performed player of the Goodwin / Roos era. Full credit to him for turning his career around over the past four or five years.

    Pound for pound, possibly the best backman going around.

    he doesn't get beaten one on one by smalls or talls, he makes smart decisions with the pill in his hand, he knows when to attack and when to push back, and he found in 2017 that if he drifts forward he can even impact the scoreboard

    what's not to love about nev?

    If you don't have respect for Neville Jetta then you're following the wrong code of football.

    I only really got excited about the Lever trade when I was thinking about how it would affect Jetta's role and the prospect of him being allowed to play to his strengths without constantly facing height mismatches.

    Really looking forward to his 2018.

    Agree Luther.It seems that Paul Roos was very important to his development.

    I think it was Rawlings that saved him from the scrap heap - convinced Roos to rookie him and turn him into a small defender.

    Inspiring player.

    It was actually Roos, Nev had a miserable run through injury and being played out of position, went on to thrive under Rawlings as a defender

    Goodwin, as he does with most players, will move the goalposts again for Nev this year, as he did last year  when  he 'demanded' Nev involve himself in attack more when opportunity arose

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
