    Has been badly battered and bruised this year but gets up week after week. His durability is as much as a highlight as his form is.

    Saty must be frothing.

    Another 3 years of jumper 39

    Also stops the winding up he has been giving me about moving back to WA for last 6 weeks

    Word on jumper this year Boordiya  means Boss    about right

    Is that cos he know he has to be a leader down back these days @Satyriconhome, with Plugger Mac a permanent forward and Lever going down with the knee knack?

    He has been a leader down there for longer than that and more importantly I think the other backs love and respect him. I suspect he gets that from all the team. A man comfortable in his skin and his role as a leader.

    You really seem confident about this ProDee.

    I must suffer from the past more than you do.

    Well done Neville 

    Shows what dedication and hard work can do.

    Next task - mentoring Dion Johnstone to become a worthy successor: by all accounts some inroads have already been made.

    Some symmetry perhaps: Nev was dropped to the rookie list and thrived, whilst Dion looked to be gone but a change of role (like Nev from forward to defense) may make the grade, perhaps.

    I bet the actual document was placed on the wrong side of a table that should've been far to big for him to reach across, but somehow he still managed to get a fist to it.

    The world needs a more superlative term for the kind of rock-solid respect that Neville Jetta has so thoroughly earned.

    Oscar McDonald was 50cm away and couldn't impact the contest because he didn't react and leave his agent quick enough to impact the contest/contract-signing.

    Heheh, yes, I was thinking much the same:  it was probably someone else's meeting but they didn't turn up and Nev had to run across the hall to get there.

    I gave up suffering from the past about 10 years ago.

    I made a choice.

    Has been quieter in recent weeks due to niggles, but still gets the job done, week after week.

    Proud to have him at the club.

    Well deserved Nev, you have won the uttermost respect of your team and supporter group, what a tough / reliable / dependable  player you have become...............!!!!!!

    When we lost, the first thing I felt was sadness for Nev. Once again the only one desperately trying to save the game and spoil at the end. I'm unsure where our talls were positioned but a part of me thinks that is exactly where Gawn would have been, but he was off with a scratch (didn't get sent off with blood rule from memory?)

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
