Very happy @Grapeviney got that last question in and loved the very expansive answer from Neville.

Thanks fella's.

Unfortunately we ran out of time - we had at least another half dozen questions up our sleeves, and there were a number of other areas he touched on in his answers that merited follow-up questions.

The interview was only meant to last 15 minutes, but Jetts was good enough to give us about 25, which is very generous for someone who was trying to put his young kids to bed at the same time!

Hi Andy 

just thought I would ask a question podcast related .

Do you have the facility to broadcast a game live?

Reason I ask I actually enjoy games more when the commentary is totally bias towards us ... plus it comes from the heart. 

 

It's possible to do and I've thought about doing this for the JLT but I didn't think anyone would want to hear me swear at the TV. I couldn't broadcast the game obviously but you could hear me, a co-host through Skype and anyone who calls in cursing the umpires. I'm not sure how entertaining it would be.

Also your never sure what answers you'll get. Sometimes they sort of answer the next question that you have in another question so you don't want to ask the next one. You want the interview to feel organic and not as if you're reading off 4 X 5s. 

In addition as grapeviney mentioned we're cognisant of the time and we don't want to overstep what we've been allocated. Thankfully every guest we've ever had has had no problem answering and going over the allotted time.

Congrats Andy and Grapeviney.

A good interview is one where the hosts make the guest comfortable with the set up so that they can respond freely and honestly. We got that last night.

Nev has been an excellent role model for all our younger players, irrespective of their background. He is proof that dedication and hard work, as well as being given the right role, guidance and opportunity, can bring the best out of players. No one gets to AFL level that has not demonstrated talent. It is what happens once they are there that sorts them out. 

Neville, admitted to having his hands full with his footy, his indigenous activities and his own growing family (who had cameos on air). Nevertheless, he made time for the interview and I am aware that he makes time to be available for seriously challenged young people throughout the year.

The interview and the responses demonstrated this man is a leader, a particularly dedicated footballer as well as being an all round good bloke. Nothing fancy just salt of the earth, and a spirit often found at the heart of any good sporting club.

Hahaha - if you ever consider it I’m happy to help. Would be totally biased and no descision the umps make against us would ever be correct.
