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.

When discussing Nev, the word 'class' is spelled 'Class'. Onyer, Nev.

    A great article on Neville Jetta and his transition to coaching:

    I hope he comes back to the Dees one day - one of my all-time favourites and just a great man!

    Seeing him at Collingwood is bloody tough but it is  best to take a coaching apprenticeship at another club in which he has a role in its success. Hopefully one day he comes back to us with an impressive resume but no more filth premierships please.

    Nev is the reason I joined demonland.  Years ago I saw him at a family day at Luna Park .  He was going about his business, no one around him and taking his kids on rides.  I remember thinking "why am I the only one swooning around him?".  A few years later, he started getting the praise he rightly deserved.  Love Nev, loved his mental health advocacy work in NT (my healthy minds kick goals t-shirt  with no. 39 on the back is my fav dees gear) and all out can't praise Nev enough.  Bring him home Dees, bring him home.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
