I would love it if David Neitz gets inducted to The Hall of Fame tonight. It's a disgrace that Laurie Mithen & Bluey Adams are not yet in the Hall of Fame, Garry Lyon deserves to be in as well.

Starts tonight 7:30 on Foxtel

Is Wayne Carey in it yet or are the hypocrites at AFL House still acting like the moral police?

He's in PA, inducted in 2010

 Great, would love to see Neita and Lyon get in.

Neita 300 plus games and 600 plus goals all time leader at the MFC for both,  its a no brainer.

Bloody love this.

The Gaz Man is viewed as the better player by many but that's mostly because of his media profile I reckon.

Neita was a bit like Nate in that the captaincy never came naturally to him. However, he was a beacon of strength from the very moment he ironed out Luke McCabe in that regard.

Imagine his goal kicking stats had he played as a permanent forward for his entire career.

Bernie Naylor no.2 inductee for the night 
 

World War II interrupted Naylor's career at South Fremantle but he returned to be a dominant force, finishing with 1034 goals from just 195 matches.

Will have to disagree with that CB, Lyon was every bit as good as Neita. Had the latter part of his career ruined by injury unfortunately

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
