2020 Player Reviews: #39 Neville Jetta 

The veteran turned 30 at the beginning of the season and struggled to reproduce the form that made him such an invaluable defender in past years. Said to have attracted interest from Collingwood in the post season.

Date of Birth: 12 February, 1990

Height: 180cm

Weight: 83kg

Games MFC 2020: 6

Career Total: 154

Goals MFC 2020: 0

Career Total: 24

 

Champ. Wish him well if he leaves. Hopes he stays to play/coach in the magoos if there are any.

The mind is willing but the body is shot. I hope he can be retained at the club in some capacity, although that will be difficult with smaller football departments. If another club is prepared to guarantee him senior football, then I'd wish him well in his new home.

 

make the most of this final year with ur great mate jonesy nev!!! we love ya

We need to sign him back up and not let Collingwood snag him.


Time caught up with him this year. The mind is willing but the legs have gone.

We can’t let this little champion leave. He’s a fantastic leader and spokesman for the indigenous community so surely a mentoring/coaching/liaison type role could work.

We did the right thing by Jonesy. Let’s do the same for Nev.

Thanks Nev but the game has gone passed you

Thanks for all your heroic efforts in a poor team

Wonderful servant of the club but he is well past it.

 

Well done Nev, you made us all very proud of you on and off the field you have taken a lot of punishment through your heroics on field but I think that you are just past it but I hope that we can retain your services in some capacity into 2021.

 

Thanks Neville Jetta...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nev  done it the hard way to become one of our  top players and respected at that. I say it with a heavy heart the injuries got the better of him and seem to slow down all of a sudden.

However if he thinks he can go on he will be 31 at the start of the next season. I wish him the very best either way.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
