It was good to see Neville back - it was his first game back, and we had to be mindful of his game time. We couldn’t run him into the ground for his first game back. But, he kicked two goals, and had fourteen touches. He’s a good player. To show that sort of thing first up after a fair while out was really promising. He had a fantastic crunching tackle on O’Bree at one stage, which is what we want to see from him - that forward pressure.

But he played some good games for us and we now need him to have a good run with his injury, so he can produce some consistent football. He can play in the midfield or up forward and we really like his hardness.
MELBOURNE defender Neville Jetta will miss 12 to 16 weeks after having surgery on an injured ankle.
Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney confirmed the luckless Jetta - who played just nine games in 2011 after suffering a broken hand in round 12 and having a post-season shoulder reconstruction - has been placed on the club's long-term injury list.
However, Mahoney said the Demons are in no rush to elevate any more rookies at this stage.
I think he played most of his junior footy across half-back and was drafted as such, but I can't remember too many games he's been given there for the DeesSince when is he a defender?
Terrible news for Nev though, just can't catch a break.
Match review panel finding:Neville Jetta, Melbourne, has been charged with a Level Two bumping or making forceful contact from front-on offence against Lindsay Thomas, North Melbourne, during the first quarter of the Round 18 match between Melbourne and North Melbourne, played at Etihad Stadium on Saturday July 28, 2012.
“I knew I was going to get back this year, but whether I could get back to where I am now, was the thing that really played on my mind.”
Still, Jetta’s persistence and character shone through.
He played the first of his three games for Casey at the end of June, before returning for his first AFL match this season against Port Adelaide in Darwin in round 17.
Jetta has since played three of the past four matches, only missing Melbourne’s round 19 win against Gold Coast Suns at the MCG due to a one week suspension.
Having overcome a “mentally challenging” period, Jetta is now playing with a point to prove.
Neville’s first full pre-season has been a real standout. He’s looking confident and is starting to showcase a lot of his capabilities consistently because his fitness levels are higher.
You're quickly reminded of just how brutal this game can be when a player tells you that their number one aim is to start pre-season training.
In the case of versatile small Neville Jetta, that was exactly his objective entering this pre-season.
“My first goal was to start pre-season on day one. I had no off season surgery, so I was able to do that,” he told melbournefc.com.au.
