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.

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 :-)

Seriously? Show some respect for a club great.

I've known Neita for a while and he is red and blue to the core. Recently left his employer to this is a bit of a career change. Good luck to him. Genuine lovely bloke with pretty good footy instincts.

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

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

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.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
