The man Neitz

I'll admit to a man-crush.

I'm not interested in what I heard on the footy show last night from Jack Watts. More important and far more inspiring to me was the couple of minutes we had with our former captain, games/goal record holder and genuinely humble character who is David Neitz.

If I was Jackson or our new Pres, the first call I'd be making is to the great man himself, My sole intention would be to try and tap into that character, passion, humble persona and aggression for the cause (the footage of Neita destroying opponents gave me goosebumps). It's time to get Neita off the sidelines; the impact he could have on the young guys coming through is immeasurable.

I can only hope that the brief footage and interview that Jack Watts witnessed made him ponder exactly what playing for the MFC meant after his earlier petulant dribble .

"I think there's reason for optimism going into next year, but as a club we need to be sure we're united."

Unite us again Neita

    He brought absolute heart and passion to the MFC. Some we desperately lack since he left.

    Is a chance for the board, either him or Paul Hopgood, both are doing a lot behind the scenes.

    What a contrast in men. Nietz a pure champion. Watts unproven overated.. Watts must have rocks in is head thinking Melb will Hurt if he leaves.. (I hope he stays) Given that first has come on and hogan is being likened to the greats (lots to prove) but from what I've seen at vfl looks every bit a gun!

    It was a hell of a contrast between Neitz and Watts on the footy show. It just reminded us all of what the club was like 10-15 years ago. Amazing that they managed to stuff it up so badly in such a short time.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
