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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
