That this video is a bizarre mix of small forward magic and "umm no you'll not get past me" small defender godliness is so unique, but the defender portion of Jetta's career was just so good.

Imagine Nev from 3-4 years ago in this defence. The other team would never score.

He was magic. His brutality when tackling was so good. I agree with you that vintage 2018 Nev in the side now would mean that literally nobody scores a goal against us from an inside 50 kick. 
Underrated by the entire footy world, but true Dees fans know what a star he was. 

 

Shouting at the top of my lungs “I love you Nev Jetta!” during the 2018 final against Geelong when he was within earshot on the wing was a nice item to tick off the bucket list.

Would’ve got an AA nod if there was any justice. At his peak there was no small defender better at executing their most critical role.

All the best to him.

I loved what he did for the MFC. One of my all time favorite players. So strong, so passionate about his culture and his history, and so articulate. And, yes, the man could play. His highlight package on You Tube is simply not long enough.

Well done on a fine career Nev. I hope you stick around in some capacity.

Huge respect for Neville Jetta as a player and what he has brought to the Club on and off the field. So many instances of one on one magic, usually pitted against a much bigger opponent. His commitment was always 110%. Hopefully a mentoring role at MFC awaits. 


He was a player who got the very best out of himself and it was a pity he could not be a part of the team who got a reward for years of good service to MFC.

It was unfortunate that Bowey and Salem had passed him by in the small lock down defender.

Not many players who are as quality as Nev end up having even more impact on a club simply due to the person they are, but the Lord is clearly one of them. I perceive our cultural values to be family, selflessness, competitiveness and fairness; and Nev is the epitome of every one of those. Thanks for all the highlights, on and off field, champion.

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.👏

Thank for your concern, I am fine, I have put my little bit on Insta under Demonpk

Saty!

We were wondering where you were. 

Are you going to give us your impressions of the win? I’m sure plenty would like to hear. 👍🏻

Brilliant and unsurprising to see him continue to shine off the field. As much as those colours disgust me, I am thrilled for him and can’t wait to see what he does in the future. 
 


Good luck Nev, you little champion.

Think he will make a great assistant coach.

I believe he’s playing in their VFL team, so he may still get the chance to shine on the field as well as off.

I don't know whether I would laugh or cry if he got a call up for them as a Covid top up player.

Nev's evolution, growth and desire to work for a higher purpose has been a pleasure to watch over the years. 

There's no limit to his ambition and the path he is forging will be long lasting. 

He could be anything. 

Love the fella. 


Also worth mentioning, along with his playing career, his off-field service. Winner of the Jim Stynes Community Leadership award in 2018 "selected for his work supporting indigenous youth through various school-based programs" and also an ambassador for the Red Cross and Headspace. The full package is what makes him a champion.

It's an interesting article. It's disappointing that there are apparently only 3 indigenous coaches in the AFL system at the moment. According to the article, the other two are Xavier Clarke at North and Jason Williams at Port.

Has there ever been an indigenous senior coach? (Barry Cable? Polly Farmer?)

 

 

He played a one off game for Corowa Rutherglen the other week the nuffy fan boy in me had to go and watch obviously. 

He hasn't lost any of his touch and still dominated. 

Too some him up around his character he played the one off game with no match payments.. just wanted to help a mate out.

All class.

Farmer coached Geelong in the mid 70’s. I used to occasionally go and watch training when I worked down there.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
