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...!

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
