Congratulations to Nev.  A much deserved promotion for a perennially underrated player.

2019 Leadership group
Nathan Jones (co-captain)
Jack Viney (co-captain)
Max Gawn
Neville Jetta

Jetta replaces Lewis who will work with coaches and leaders.

 

Very happy with this. The right choice, as far as I'm concerned, and glad Jonesy gets another year. 

Also stoked for Nev. Absolute champion and well deserved. Am surprised it took this long.

Welcome Nev to the leadership group in a premiership year. Makes up for all the AA teams you were rudely ignored in.

Lewis is coming to end of his career 


Never been as proud of this club in my 50 odd years as I am now. Good people making consistently good decisions. Might only be small things, but adding Nev to the leadership Group and Goody going to SA for the indigenous summit etc are examples of this. Just need to win the bloody thing for validation of all the hard work done by many good people in the last few years!

Absolutely happy for Nev and the club. Great decision. In presser noted that Lewis will work with coaches and assist the leadership team. Transition time for Jordan but his experience has been and will be invaluable going forward.

Don't worry. There is always a chance Port Ade will be 5 goals up at quarter time in round 1 . And you will hate them again. 


Absolutely outstanding selections!

So happy to see Jetta in there.

It's like the character selection from some kind of online role-playing game.

"Here are four options, choose which kind of hero you would like to be"

Lewis wants to coach, we are faciliating a pathway to achieve that, we kick goals off field these days as well

Totally rapt for Nev

Would prefer to have seen either Viney as sole captain, or Viney and Gawn as co captains.

Plenty of time for that tho....

Agree on both points

The mix is great, Jones deserves 1 last year after the chit mix he had to carry. He is winding down and I just hope he gets to lift the cup this season.

Nev is an in most thought should have happened last year and again well deserved.

Hasn’t the durrie puncher been a revelation!

Jetta, absolute standard bearer, definitely a bloke I'd follow.

Don't write off Jones yet. It was the Semi final v Geelong when he kicked the sealer and his celebration literally caused the whole stadium to shake. 


I was at the Family day at Luna park  in 2014 and saw Nev Jetta standing virtually on his own when picked as a rookie thanks to then new coach Paul Roos.

Went up to him and wished him luck for the season and asked for a selfie with him and obliged kindly such a good person with a smile.

Said to him Roos sees something in you to keep you at the club Hope all works out for you as he replied thanks with that look of determination.

The rest is history as he turned his career around and nothing makes me happier to see such a loyal person be recocgnised and added to the leadership group. Well done Nev as l am sure you have some unfinished business to attend to in 2019.

 

Bout time... about time Nev was given this Honour.

A true Dee, and role model... for all indigenous and non indigenous alike.  We could all take a page from Nev's book.

Well done Melbourne,   and congrats Nev.  rapt with this.

I like that with Nev being included, we have finally shown we can produce our own leaders.

It wasn't long ago that any blow in who came from a purportedly 'winning culture' was shunted straight into our leadership group upon arrival.

Also the size of the leadership team could be taking up more than a third of the on field playing team at any given time. It screamed to me of a mindset that there were no stand out leaders so let's throw whatever we can at the wall and see what sticks.

I get the feeling that Jordie is at a similar stage to Bernie last year. Like Bernie in 2017, he can still find the pill but his core strength is starting to go and he is starting to lose a step. I'd say this is the year he starts to transition into coaching (which was a big reason he came to us in the first place).

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
