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.

Must be missing footy dreadfully!

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

i'm still confused. what has that got to do with nifty going into the draft? that's for listed players.

its just wrong nev is at the pies.. i was hoping this thread was about him coming back home. 

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. 


1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

is nev still playing for the filth's vfl club?

Yes.

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.

  • 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.
