Hello fellow Melbourne supporters,

It is really important that we get to the game to celebrate what has been a fantastic career by one of the best players to throw the Melbourne guernsey on, David Neitz! The man has broken his fair share of records over his long and illustrious career and will never be forgotten. He has also lead the team to extremely well through the good and the bad. I'm sure that the players are pumped to play the game for the captain that has been there for a very long time, in fact a lot of the players will have only ever played under Neita.

Come one, come all to the G on Sunday. We might be against pretty stiff opposition but its what a champion like Neitz deserves.

I will be there and i'll be bringing as many as i can, so that Neita can be given the respect he deserves.

    I think a few of us are going to be there. Especially for Nieta & as support for the team following the Jeff Kennett crap.

    Our captain is retiring after years with the club, and people still have problems spelling his name .... hope if the banner pays a tribute on Sunday they spell his name correctly. NEITZ/NEITA !!!! :angry: :angry:

    I agree. Everyone is going to be watching us fellow supporters on sunday to see if we turn out. If we don't we will be bagged and I'm sick of people bagging our team. Neitz deserves to be farewelled in style. Neitz will want to be waving to melbourne supporters not hawthorn. So turn up. It's also our home game. Quite clearly we need the money.

    'Becks' you are going to have to do the farewelling for me......I have to work. :o

    Make sure you give him the send off he deserves.

    If I don't see fans crying on the fence and tears in the old warhorse's eyes I will be disappointed. :angry:

    Hopefully the team can salute too. :lol:

    Go Dees - Do it for Neita

    If you make an active decision not to go on the weekend, that's an indictment on you as a supporter of this fantastic club. I wouldn't care if we were playing against Heaven's 22, i'd still be there.

    I want to see a sea of Demon flags to send off a true champion.

    Well I said at the start of the season that I couldn't buy a membership but i'd be at every game I could. I've been to most (not Geelong, Brisbane or Adelaide) and for f*cks sake i'll be there Sunday. Buddy may rip us apart but there's no way i'm letting our captain leave the team without my screaming thankyou. The Carltank match was no way to go, but if any Melbourne member/suppoter/sympathiser can be there, cheer a champion. We don't see men like Neitz very often.

    Also, as a question... has anyone in recent memory lead their team to a GF berth on their debut season as captain? Just wondering... thanks Neita.

    Seriously tearing up as I'm reading this. Going to be a very hard day on Sunday. Will need to pack ridiculously- oversized sunglasses.. :(:(

    I will be there.

    Unlike Demonlands resident clown, 'realist'. But what do you expect from someone that buys a pet membership for themselves cos they dont want to fork out for a normal one.

    I'm away in the NW of WA for work so I will miss the game and I'm so [censored] off about it.

    I hope everyone who can, will be their to cheer off this true legend.

    David Nietz the absolute legend.

    Bye skip!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
