2018 AFL Hall of Fame

[Wilson7 2,670]

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?

[Jibroni 5,003]

Jimmy Stynes was the most recent player to be inducted, its about time for Garry or Neita to be included.

 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.

NEITA!!!

[Wilson7 2,670]

1st inductee is David Neitz....wohooooooooooooo

[Jibroni 5,003]

David Neitz has just been announced into the Hall of fame!! Congrats Neita.

[P-man 13,366]

Well done Neita ?

[Wilson7 2,670]

Daniher is at the night, brilliant, what a special relationship they have, fantastic to see

[Wilson7 2,670]

Great to see Neitz give Balls Grinter some praise

[Guest]

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.

[Wilson7 2,670]

Terry Wallice no.3 inductee for the night

[Wilson7 2,670]

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
