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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
