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 .

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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
