Neville Jetta joined Melbourne’s leadership group for the first time in 2019, but wasn’t given an opportunity to demonstrate his skills on-field. The popular defender managed just seven senior games as he was struck down with a knee injury, but saw it as a chance to help some youngsters in the rehab group. Jetta has had an outstanding 11-year career to date, but not without its challenges. He was delisted by the club in 2013 and given a second chance to reinvent himself as a rookie, transforming from a small forward to a reliable defender. Jetta is now a Life Member of the club and is one of the most loved characters by both his teammates and fans.
