Absolutely stoked for the big fella! One of the catalysts of the MFC in who we are and what we stand for.

his partner is 8 months pregnant...PLEASE BE TALENTED OFFSPRING!!!

I'm hoping for triplets

 

What a legend, so pleased to follow his career from start to finish. Still close to his team mates and their spiritual leader.


Congratulations champ

Well done and well deserved 

Are you involved with the club?

Loved watching you dob a goal from 50 Neita

Your Brewmanity beer isn’t a bad drop either (and a great contributor to charity). Well deserved big fella

Well deserved by the great man.

Can only echo everything already said here, plus adding the absolute power of work he's done to raise money for MND and mental health.

Seeing the amount of time and effort spent helping the Reverend is truly inspiring!

He can brew too!


Half back to half forward

just did what the team needed. So tough 

well done 

Best week ever demons supporters?


The great man.  The champ.  The leader. The immovable object.  The goalkicker.

THE HALL OF FAMER.

Couldn't think of a more deserving MFC player. Gave everything he had for no flags.

Champion of this great club.

 

Most games.

Most games as captain. 

Most goals.

Legend.

Miss watching him own the G. Congrats Neita!

 

Once upon a time the main game at the MCG on a Saturday was preceded by the Under 19s, followed by the Reserves.

I saw David Neitz playing in the U 19s have a shot for goal outside 50 from the south east corner of the ground.

He landed the ball on top of the goal post.

Powerful!

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
