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 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.

    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?

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

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
