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

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!

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    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.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
