Neville Jetta is as solid a defender as he is a citizen.

He had another consistent season terrorising opposition forwards, many of them taller than him, and was once again very unlucky not to gain All Australian honours.

Don't have enough words to describe this guy. He's a superstar on and off the field in my eyes

Neville was a little down on his 2017 form, particularly early in the season, but he is such a good player than he was still an excellent contributor across the year. 

I love that he is getting recognition, even though it is not sought, for his off field work as well.

It is fantastic to have him locked away for the next few years, as he must have been sounded out by the WA clubs in particular.

We've had some greats in this small defender role over the decades - Alan Johnson, Graeme Yeats, Matty Whelan and Nev sits very comfortably in that illustrious group.

Started slowly and just got better and better. Looks pretty injured for most of the year and runs like in wet cement.

But he is a legend.

Great season from Jetts after a slow start. His best game was the Bulldogs game at Etihad.

I'd just about give him our player of the finals series for just those two acts alone, but the truth is that over the last month or so of footy in particular, Nev played some top footy all round and was one of the players to really step up to the plate, set the standard and accept the responsibility for taking us to the next level in big games.

If the All Australian team was picked after finals, Nev would have been picked hands down.

Forgot to add Jim Stynes Memorial medal for comunity service to the list of honors for the year.  Top effort by Nev in that respects and does further demonstrate the quality of his character.

As recognition for his work in the community, Nev’s been invited to a function acknowledging Victorian youth leaders where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be in attendance.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
