Dead set - how many former Dees have had coaching and admin gigs with the Hawks in recent times?! It's ridiculous.

I don't think any of us would have the slightest clue if he can coach. I like the idea of him cutting his teeth at Hawthorn who have good forwards - it will be as much about teaching them what he kno

My people are telling me that Nathan Carroll may be about to be announced as the Hawks backline key position coach but I am still waiting for a confirmation on this one.

MEH.....let him go and learn about how PREMIERSHIPS are won, and then get him back.

Nothing to see here.......

....I'd prefer an Alistair Lynch, Wayne Carey or Matthew Lloyd, who have the runs on the board when it comes to finals and Grand finals, in the mean time

Goatees...I mean Go Dees :-)

Ha! What a pissa! He can teach them how to drop chest marks.

Nah. Seriously. No harm done. They've got awesome forwards anyway, He will have little or no impact and earn a bit of cash.

Seriously? Show some respect for a club great.

David isn't a club great. He was a very good who played a lot of matches. He was neither a great forward or great captain

I appreciate others may not agree

Mods - many, myself included are longing for a"dislike" or "no!!!" button to use in circumstances such as this

That would be the dumbest post I have read on this or any other footy forum.

Mate you have NFI.

Dunstall, Lockett, Brown, and as much as I hate to admit, Lloyd were great forwards. Carey and Ablett senior were the only two footballers I would have paid to see if Melbourne weren't playing. They were greats. I was lucky enough to see the tail end of Hudsons career. To me, he was the greatest forward. Franklin will be known as a great. Neitz is not in this company.

As for being a great leader I believe it is difficult to influence a footy team when you are stuck predominately in the forward 50. This is not David's fault but you would often watch a change of momentum in the game with Neitz watching 100m away in the goal square. I also don't believe he was good at slotting those crucial, team lifting Captains goals

Flower is the only great player I have seen for Melbourne. The next group down for me is where Stynes and Neitz sit along with Lyon. Our current captain may eventually join that group too

I think what you define as 'great' the majority of people would define as 'best players to ever play the game'. He might not be in the 50 best players to have ever played, but he has more runs on the board than 99.9% of people to play the game. He was a great player. 300 game player, most games as captain, clubs leading goal kicker and was the leading goal kicker in a season 7x, Coleman medal, best and fairest, AA etc.

Hopefully he can teach Roughy how to take out 4(6?) bouncers at Crown, imagine the reaction if a player did that these days.

100% agree with everything you've written here. Everything.

Unfortunately, years of mediocrity mean players like David Neitz and many others have greatness presumed upon them by supporters who have not had the opportunity to see truly great players in red and blue.

I think you may have jumped the gun - the comment made was that he is a club great. As a forward in the AFL does his career sit beside Ablett or Carey? Not in my mind. Is he a club great ? Undoubtedly (IMO)

Jesus....I just chocked on my corn flakes.....Did you blokes ever see him play???

I know the trend is to bag our players on here but Neata was a champion of the Melbourne footy club.

A lot of posters just like to bag past players because our team has been so crap for the past few years

I loved watching him play along side the Ox in a team that made finals, a Grand final, and became our 1st Coleman medallist sine bloody Fred Fanning.

You need to revisit round 22 1996 for a start where Neitz slotted several great goals from outside 50, a feat he often performed.

You have conveniently changed the format of your argument to a comparison with the great full forwards of the league whereas the original discussion was whether Neita was/is a club great of which there is no doubt.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
