Hi, I've just got back from the game and joined you fellow demonlanders because I'm convinced I've seen the reincarnation of the great Matthew Whelan.
Neville Jetta has been amazing this year, never thought he had it in him.
Here's a look at his games:
Essendon - Kept three time premiership champion Paul Chapman under control with Chapman only getting 18 possessions and 1 goal.
Collingwood - Kept Collingwood livewire Jamie Elliot to his lowest possession and goal count this year with 9 disposals and 1 goal.
Port Adelaide - Before Wingard got subbed, kept the new wonderkid Chad Wingard to only 5 POSSESIONS!
Western Bulldogs - Kept vastly impressive Luke Dahlhaus goalless for only the second time this year!
Adelaide - Destroyed Eddie Betts. Keept him goalless and to 8 possessions.
Sydney - Didn't have any impact with the ball but Kept the lightening quick Lewis Jetta goalless.
Since Whelan, when have we had a small defender this good.
Not only is Jetta fantastic at stopping small forwards, he uses the ball well. Even though he isn't a long kick his short passes nearly always hits the mark and he hits players in good positions.
One final wrap for Jetta, whenever he needs to lay a tackle he lands it. Today he put a Essendon player into next week!
I've joined a forum for this bloke. I've been so impressed whilst not a games, but watching him live, Wow, Roos & Jetta have created something special.
