Just announced…

9ED4E50A-A250-4EE9-9A91-E322B32B2111.jpeg

 

Just been announced. We love Nev ❤❤ go down as an absolute legend of this football club.

 

Imagine this flag with Nev and Jones in the side. I don't think I could have contained myself, and that says it all.

I thought Wrecker was great, but peak Nev was the best small defender in my time.

 

Damn. Class act on and off the field. Hope he stays involved in some fashion. Absolutely tenacious footballer that I loved watching. Best of luck for the future, Nev.

Thank you Nev. A wonderful team player and a great example for young players.

Loved the way you played the game and the way you handled yourself off the ground.

Again, thank you.


Lord Nev, an absolute star of this football club and proudly my favourite player of the last 5 years. outstanding loyal servant who got absolutely everything out of himself and put his body on the line week in week out. what a leader and role model. all the best to our No. 39 games record holder

One of my all time favorites. 
Held us together down back for years with sheer determination and some shoulder tape. 
As brave as they come. As loyal as they come. An exemplary human being on and off the field. Did so much for so many, including Kosi and countless indigenous players before him. 
A great of our club and a massive part of this success. 

  • Demonland changed the title to Farewell Neville Jetta

159 games and never a backwards step, a warrior for this club and a favourite amongst the faithful. 
Best of luck in the future Nev.

 

Is anyone doing welfare watch on Saty? 😯

Being serious, Nev was as honest as the day was long, resilient, reliable and loyal. It should be remembered that he was a bit lost until the end of ‘13 with no real position to call his own. When Roosy came in ‘14, he nailed that small lockdown defender position down to the point where he was holding blokes like Eddie Betts to one or two goals. 

Like Nate, it would have been perfect to see him play in a flag winning team but fairytales rarely happen not only in footy, but life. Nonetheless, Nev should be remembered as a great club man who will always be associated with our club and welcome back anytime.👏

Sad day, will always be a legend of the club.


Nev 2.0, was 10 times the player of Nev prior to his delisting/re-rookie-Ing.

An absolute testament to his will and determination.

In his prime, Nev was arguably one of our greatest ever small backs. Enjoy retirement you champion.

Absolute legend of our great club and absolutely instrumental in pushing indigenous awareness to forefront. Really hope he stays at the club in some capacity, but I wonder if he and his family will move back to WA? Either way, I hope he can continue his immense work as an indigenous mentor and leader.

Has he retired or just finished at Melbourne.  The wording in the clubs post and his wifes post make mention of his time at mfc coming to an end not his time on the AFL.

Lord Nev. Thankyou 

you gave everything to the Club on and off the field 

Welcome back anytime. All careers come to an end. You gave it your all. 
Celebrate with your Premiership mates. You deserve that


Took time to come good but Roos seemed to be huge influence on him developing into probably the best small defender in the comp. between 2015 and 2019. Tough, courageous, team-orientated. Hope he is able to stay around the club in some capacity.

The MFC would not be in the position it is today, without Nev.

He played a huge part in forging the culture we currently have. 

Thank you Nev

Absolutely love Nev, probably my favourite player this century until now.

 

Thanks Nev, your never say die attitude and wonderful leadership is one of the reasons our club has turned around and broken the curse.

 

champion!


I'll always remember that massive defensive stop against Carlton a couple of years back which won us that game, and what about that massive hip and shoulder on tom mitchell in the 2018 semi-final. 

Jonesy, the delistings and now Nev leaving as well is all honestly quite sad, hopefully him and jonesy can both still play a role at the club if they want to. 

Please Please please employ him as development coach/ mentor for new young players 

Thanks for everything you did Neville Jetta - on and off the field. A Leader of men.

 

Thanks Nev, will never forgot your AA season in 2018 and contribution to the club, Enjoy the next chapter of your life.

He was one of my favourite players. He was easily the best small defender in the competition during his peak years (2017-2018). He was one of the most brave and loyal players we'll ever see and his field kicking was elite.

Jetta and Jones retiring in the same year feels like the end of an era.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
