    Didn't quite know where to put this one, I've been watching the replay against the Hawks in 2003 throughout the afternoon interspersed by wrangling kids.

    Jeez, it took me back to being 23 and my adoration of Neitz.

    It's fascinating to me, reflecting how, literally E.V.E.R.Y T.I.M.E  the ball was kicked in to our forward line when you watched it on TV, there was Neitz, like a [censored] colossus, either standing his ground, smashing packs, merely impacting in subtle ways because of his aura/reputation, taking 2 opposition backman etc etc.

    Essentially, watching the replay, I recognised the joyous anticipation of what couldn't be seen, left or right of screen when the ball was kicked from the centre square. 

    Some good years back then eh!

    Shows the value of a good strong key forward and good leadership too. We are crying out for both right now!

    We had a good strong key forward in J Hogan - sans the leadership.

    Just our luck another forward talent (post 1994) slipped through our fingers.

    Looked pretty bloody happy during the 2018 finals run on the telly. I got a huge kick out of seeing blokes like Neitz and White et al, totally rapt with the two wins.

    Neita  was so tough l used to feel for opposing players!He only knew one to play : hard! He would never shirk charging into a pack and knocking down the opposition.And I can’t remember him getting injured .A really tough player but fair.And a great leader.

    Neita spoke at a MCC/MFC members function I went to with my dad last year. He was awesome - he told some great stories and the crowd loved it. Top bloke

    I get what you mean about 'feeling' he never got injured. Broken Jaw on both sides over in WA was one I recall...

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
