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

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
