2008 Mel Whinnen MedalNeville Jetta (born 12 February 1990) is an Australian rules footballer for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Jetta was drafted to Melbourne with the 51st selection in the 2008 AFL Draft. He had previously been playing with Swan Districts in the West Australian Football League. In September 2008 he was awarded the Mel Whinnen Medal for being the best player in the Swans colts grand final win.[1][2]
Both Jetta and fellow Melbourne draftee Jamie Bennell come from Bunbury and attended the same primary school. Jetta is the cousin of Lewis Jetta of the Sydney Swans and also a distant cousin of Leroy Jetta, who plays for Essendon.[3]
Jetta and Bennell were both named to make their AFL debuts together in the opening round of the 2009 AFL season.[4]
