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.

 

A certain track watcher will be spewing he cannot run out with him

 

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

And I’ll make one with Feta in it and call it the “Feta 4 Jetta special”.

Nice.

Breville better with Neville Jetta

150 Neville's, nice.

I'd love to have 22 of him to run out onto the ground for the MFC!

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.

Quick question: Is the nickname "Lord Nev" a Demonland original or does it come from somewhere else?

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

Unlike some, I'm not that petty, his day not mine

Supporting him by attending rally tomorrow

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?

Agree 150%.

Get a hashtag trending and have all the fans post tributes. 

Love Nev, looking forward to seeing him in all his majesty. 150 Nevs in the stand, great idea.

Hopefully his 150th has a similar result to his 100th which was a win over Essendon at the same venue.

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.
