#39 Neville Jetta - Retired. Thank you Nev 🖤💛❤️

[stEdy]

Nev has never been quick though.

I think he will age quite well if he can not pick up any more serious injuries, as he's the ultimate professional and gets by on footy smarts, strength and nimbleness.

I'll back him to squeeze a few more elite years out of himself

yep. Speed was never his thing it is his hardness and smarts that make his game

Got a good 2-3 years left in him.

Hibberd I am not as confident about. Hopefully he has a good 12-18 months in him

Nev was never quick, but he is elite for one on ones, ELITE i tell you.

Bloody good player at his best and I reckon the footage of him refusing to wear Pickett's medal is reflective of his selfless approach. A real clubman and he'll be missed.

 

[netslave]

Hope he's involved with the club in some capacity, like Whelan.

One of my top 10 fav players for the MFC of all time, I love you Nev and always will, you played a huge part in turning this club around, absolute warrior.

Hope you stick around the club in the future. Enjoy retirement champ.

 

[CWaffles]

absolute legend but it’s the right time.

 

[Dory_77]

Always a favourite. Toughed it out and became a brilliant defender. Rarely beaten. Loved the moment with Kozz on Saturday. Will miss him.

 

[mrmonkey]

I'm just glad Roos resurrected his career because he was an absolute champion player for a while.

 

[Deelighted]

Huge part of getting us back on track, was criminally underrated and absolutely one of the best small defenders in the competition around the 2015-2018 period. My favourite Demon since Wrecker.

 

[LeverPuller]

Definition of a clubman and is so obvious in his influence over the younger indigenous boys. Just as important as Jones.

 

[stEdy]

Absolute legend of the club.

Kozzie's IG story had a message "for you uncs" with a photo of him and Nev

 

[Deemanding]

All of the focus on Jones but Nev was every bit as much a hard luck story. You could on his face post game that he knew it was all over and was dealing with so many emotions all at once.

Unfortunate that he lost that yard of pace over the past couple of seasons. 2017 and 2018 he was always one of the first picked.

Best of luck to him in retirement.

Oh Nev, you beautiful, beautiful human. What a player, and what a role model to so many.

Got the absolute best out of himself, and was one of the key drivers in the cultural shift of the club.

Wish him nothing but the best ❤

 

[Bluelegs]

Will always love this bloke. So important for implementing the cultural change at this club.

 

[Scythe94]

One of the hardest, fairest players you'll ever see. And Joel Selwood.

 

[SugarHealey]

Well played Nev, I loved your footy with us, and I'm sorry the end has come. will always be one of my Fav's.
Oh and by the way, I have to say, "Pin those bloody arms Jetta".

And one more, "I like your game, Nev".

... cheers to a great Demon player.

Nev was the demolition man that finals series, Tom Mitchell met his hip and shoulder the next week too

There were a couple of great contests v Danger too he comfortably won. What a legend.

 

[Topkent]

Man unlucky Jones played in the same side or I would probably have gushed as hard over him missing.
Jetta was everything I loved in a player. Not flashy, tough. Loved a tackle and turned himself into the best small defender in the comp for a couple years.

Won't be a premiership player, but I'll always remember him as a part of this flag

 

[pjfairbairn]

One of my true, true favourites. And as many of you will know, I argued for his retention when few did, back when he was delisted and then re-rookied.

Has had an enormous impact on this Club. Love the bloke.

 

[schmuttt]

Genuinely my favourite MFC player of all time. Knew it was coming but this sucks man. Seeing him so happy but obviously disappointed he wasn't on the field on Saturday night was so bittersweet.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Heart and soul, a true part of what we accomplished Saturday night.

Thanks Nev.

 

[DemonLord]

Absolute champin and every bit as much a heart and soul player as Chunks.

Made the right call and as others have said hope he stays around the club in some official capacity - if not with the indigenous players then with the backline group helping the likes of Bowey etc.

DL.
