Jetta and the Hard Stuff

Should be knighted for services to Australian Rules Football.

In fact I'll have a chat to Meaghan and Harry when they pop in for a tea this week....

As an aside I wonder why Jetta doesn't get booed by opposition supporters?

    It takes all types, I suppose!  I just cheered myself hoarse at the time, and sat back and marvelled each time I've watched a replay!

    Neville is made of 'hard stuff' for the 'hard stuff'.

    Hard stuff is made of Neville Jetta.

    Which in comparison is soft.

    I am just about to rate Jetta higher than Matty Whelan who was one of the bets back pocket players I have seen at Melbourne. You could almost bet your house on Jetta.

    ooohhh...that's great. I love(d) Wrecker... but I think on body of work...and perhaps his most recent game (annihilation of Dangerfield)...it's in Nev's favour. Though a broken leg somewhere, may just enhance his stature more.

    I am sure some Cat fans would claim that he pulled Dunderfield's arm before taking the mark.

    I must say I didn't look at Duckwood or Hawkins at the time but I am sure they would have felt hard done by for not getting the free.  And of course had the game been at Kardinia Park they probably would have.

    If I keep the reigning All Australian and the widely acknowledged AFL No 1 small forward goalless in his most important game of the year, should I be pizzed off that I didn’t even make the AA squad.

    The most amazing thing about Dangerfield's game against us was the sheer number of deliberate "frees" (either paid or not paid) he committed. Like Jetta in the vid, every single time Danger was beaten he slung his opponent to the ground. And yet he was hardly ever pinged.

    Two of the cleanest hits in the past 2 weeks you are ever likely to see.

    The fact he ironed out 2 important players for the other team made it more memorable.

    I thought Jetta's year has been a bit mixed. But his last few weeks have been as good as any in his career. It is nice to see him regularly praised in the media for his unflinching commitment to doing whatever is necessary (and legal) for his team.

    I just wish commentators would stop referring to Jetta as being underrated and just start rating him. 

    The more they refer to him as "underrated" by definition they are increasingly incorrect.

    @dl4e I would liken Lord Nev to George Gregan (especially the tackle on All black Jeff Wilson). And yes I have also been thinking about comparisons to Wrecker (who was also a good ball user if I remember correctly.) 

    The heart in both of these men is just enormous. I am in awe.

    I am in awe of Nev.

    Making the AA selectors look totally incompetent.

    He smashes everyone he plays on.  He is a star.

    No .... that was tears.

    Softened up by Viney in past encounters, and that was le coup de grace.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
