Neville Jetta: "On the Mark"

This is compelling viewing imo:  On The Mark: Neville Jetta 

Neville is an outstanding young man!  We all know him as 'rock' in our defence,  but this is more than matched by the snippets we learn about his 'journey', his family and the work he does away from the limelight of the AFL.    Extremely well spoken, with a sense of humor that I hadn't seen before.  Brilliant!

    Wow. It turns out it is possible to respect Neville Jetta even more than I did before.

    For anyone hesitating to follow the link, go for it, you wont regret it.

    I loved the bit about his 3 yr old son.  Was in Auskick, and kicked about five goals.  Nev asked him to handball to him.  The young lad replied "It's AusKICK, Dad, not Aus-handball...!!".

    And, as others have said, Nev's clearly a truly quality human being.  All credit to the young man!  Very proud he's a Dee...!

    Still haven’t watched it yet, I recorded it so I could listen to the DL podcast!

    This man is legend status. Should be recognised by the club as such.

    Great interview.  Nev does come across much better in this interview than he did in the Demonland podcast earlier this year, in which he came across as a bit flustered and distracted (trying to get the kids to bed in the background from what I recall).

    Very refreshing in that someone of his realitive celebrity status as an AFL footballer is so grounded in family, comunity values and very self-less in his actions (just like his onfeild performances).

    Found it interesting  (but not surprising) the love that Nev's son has for Bernie Vince, to the point of naming their family dog after him (a bit naughty like Bernie, lol).  I really do get the feeling that with guys like Nev, Bernie, Max, Jack Viney, Jones, Stretch, Freitch and others around the club that their would be a great off feild culture at the MFC these days.

    Thanks DOF I didn't know about it until I read this post. I liked the introduction, 'Melbourne Star', he really is, and spoke beautifully, talked about being accessible, amazing stuff. Can't wait to see his first finals game, will be breathing fire and eating forwards of all descriptions. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/El_coloso.jpg/543px-El_coloso.jpg

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
