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.

    Just wanted to say what a joy it used to be watching him play. A fearless defender with elite foot skills.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
