Assuming he's selected, Neville Jetta will play his 150th game in round 2.

Massive shame there won't be a crowd to show our level of appreciation and love for the great man. The Demon Army are currently considering different ways to celebrate him leading up to the game and perhaps on game day as well, so just thought I'd open it up here to ideas and perhaps even a bit of love for him to be shared.

One idea kicking around is to have a mini-banner at training (bit like the one Gawny organized for Trenners a few years back) made up of comments from fans celebrating him, like a reverse of the 'mean tweets' banner. Fan numbers would be limited at training (if any are allowed at all) so would be a way to get fan sentiment across to a much loved Dee.

Anyways, feel free to chuck some ideas in here Demonlanders.

    I’m going to make toasted sandwiches on game day and call it a “Breville 4 Neville”. 

    Nice.

    Breville better with Neville Jetta

    A few years back, after the great R Flower passed, I made the call that we should call the members wing of the MCG the Robbie Flower Wing.  It is now unofficially the Robbie Flower Wing for our home games (I'll take credit for this!).

    While I'm not at all suggesting that Nev is or should be held in such company as Robbie, he's a player that I feel every Melbourne supporter loves.  And let's face it, he does a bloody lot for the club, our indigenous boys and in the community.

    No harm in having the (unofficial) Jetta Pocket located up the Ponsford Stand end on the members side.

    If things work out the way we all hope they do, we could call the opposite one the Pickett Pocket.

    What's the social distancing rules around this exactly ? I am not attending at all, but intrigued how this event is able to meet those requirements.

    The normal social distancing, advising people to wear masks, tick, carry hand sanitizer, tick   will see how it goes, police have already stated if it's peaceful, they will just watch

    At the age when something will get me anyway, this is far more important issue

    Last 5 years, Betts, Goodes, Nev himself all been racially abused, that's just 3

    No racism in Australia, ha, my [censored]

    Can @Lord Nev’s thread, which is here to celebrate Jetta, his milestone and all his hard work to get there, not be turned into a political [censored] measuring contest?

    You mean despite the obstacles that every Indigenous player faces, he has managed to rise above that and succeed?

    You’re a bloody legend Nev. it’s been great to see you grow as a player and man over the years. Hopefully you’ll be kept around the club post retirement to help develop young players

    Congrats Nev on 150 games. Let's hope you can celebrate by keeping Eddie Betts quiet.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
