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?

 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.

1st inductee is David Neitz....wohooooooooooooo

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

  • Author

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


  • Author

Great to see Neitz give Balls Grinter some praise :)

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.

Terry Wallice no.3 inductee for the night

 
  • Author

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
