Todd Viney’s season assessment
Neville had a few injuries this year he broke his hand and hurt his shoulder, which required surgery. 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.

AFL: Round 1 v Sydney Swans
Neville produced some exciting passages of play. He was hard-at-it and won some really important contested ball. He was outnumbered on occasions, but worked hard throughout. Mark Williams

AFL: Round 2 v Hawthorn
Nev just ran out gas and ended up being substituted for Addam Maric. Mark Williams
VFL: Round 2 v Port Melbourne
Neville came back from the AFL and although he had a quiet third quarter, he was very good otherwise. He was another positive and was up-and-about. He’s fitter and more confident at this level and had a very good attitude. Brad Gotch
VFL: Round 3 v North Ballarat
Neville was very good. He played in the midfield and got 28 disposals. Brad Gotch
VFL: Round 4 - Bye
VFL: Round 5 v Frankston
Neville was a very good performer with 24 possessions, playing midfield. I thought his run and work-rate around the stoppages were great. He set us up and continued going really well. Brad Gotch
AFL: Round 7 v Adelaide Crows (emergency)/VFL: Round 6 v Northern Bullants
Neville was on standby at the MCG, as an emergency. He got to the ground with enough time. And after a slow first half, he lifted in the second. Brad Gotch

AFL: Round 8 v North Melbourne
Nev’s aggression was good, particularly his physicality with his tackling - he had 12 tackles. We wanted Nev to be more involved in the play around the ground and have a greater influence with his ball use. Mark Williams
AFL: Round 9 v St Kilda
Nev was good. His involvement around the ground and spread away from stoppage was much better in this match. He continued to improve as a midfielder, but needed to involve himself in the game. Mark Williams

VFL: Round 20 v Coburg Tigers
He was good. Neville had 21 touches and nine tackles, but played mainly as a midfielder. He tired a little late, because we had to keep him out there more than what we would normally. Brad Gotch
AFL: Round 22 v Richmond (emergency)/VFL: Round 21 v Werribee Tigers
Nev was excellent. He had 28 touches, kicked two goals and laid five tackles. He spent time in the midfield and up forward. He found himself in excellent positions during transition and was smart with his work-rate. He made a big impact at stoppages as well. Brad Gotch

AFL: Round 24 v Port Adelaide
Nev was in and out of the game. He did some really good things. His physicality was good. He kicked an important goal, and continued to provide great pressure coming out of our forward line. Mark Williams
