According to today's Herald Sun, Neville Jetta is one of 800+ people who have nominated for the national draft.

I'm curious as to why. Does he expect a club to take him, perhaps in a coaching/playing role?

    I'm not sure if it's the same, but I'm pretty sure once you nominate for the draft your nomination lasts for 3 years.

    I'm guessing he nominated last year.

    not true, its only a one year nom, no such thing as a 3 year nomination

    Well we’ll need to find someone to replace Hibbo at the end of next year 😄

    It definitely use to be the case Dazzler.

    You have to nominate for this years draft to be eligible in the following seasons mid year draft. 

    If a team had horrible injuries in his position then he might get picked up to fill a hole for a few games.

    Why not keep the options open.

    IIRC he was on the Collingwood list as a salary saver for 2022 and I expect this is similar for 2023.

    Frees up some of the soft cap

    But he wasn't on Collingwoods list..

    He's an assistant coach for the Pies and plays for their VFL team. He doesn't come under any player salary cap.

    Okay but Similar.. he was being at least partly paid from the VFL top up bucket used for players and not from the soft salary cap.

    This will be another version... could be wrong but I doubt that he's making a comeback

    There's usually a high number of retirees that are moved on my their club and a number who feel they still have it. It wouldn't be a shock if someone in his position nominated would it?

    I know it feels wrong, but it's better for any player who wishes to go into coaching or any post-playing career football role to gain experience at other clubs to improve their skill set. I don't begrudge him taking the opportunity at Collingwood, a club which has recognised a significant deficiency in its relationship with its indigenous players.

    On 360 really impressed at how healthy Jetta is looking, he'd be half a chance at WCE to get a senior game (which eddie joked about). Can't wait for him to come back to the club.

    Just posted this on the Meeting Place thread but I'll chuck it over here too

     

    Really nice interview with Eddie Betts and Nev Jetta last night.
    Nev has worked with Eddie to launch the Eddie Betts foundation - https://eddiebetts.foundation/

    Hope Nev ends up back with us at some point in the future. Love the bloke.

    For those in Perth (D'landers feel free to tag WA members in case they're interested), he's doing a fundraiser night / Q&A with his cousin Lewis Jetta for a junior footy club soon. Buggered if I could find any details online. 
    Would be interesting to hear their stories about finding their way into the AFL.

    Exactly the sort of person we’d want at the club, in any capacity.  
    I like when players experience different clubs, coaching, administrations and cultures, but I hope he eventually brings all of that back to the Dees.

    Nev will be back eventually, some guys you can just tell.

    He's a heart and soul guy and I would welcome him back to the club in a number of different roles.

    The Eddie Betts Foundation is also written up in The Age today. It includes this paragraph: "The foundation will be led by Betts with close involvement from former Melbourne Demons defender Neville Jetta, a Noongar man. Jetta is also a development coach with the Collingwood Magpies, playing alongside the ladder-leading club’s younger Indigenous players in the VFL as an onfield mentor."

    Congratulations to both Eddie and Neville. Both continuing to show they were not just great footballers but also outstanding people.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
