What a great player, Captain, strong mark and great kick is David Neitz, if we had him now we would have another two flags.

So many of them - what, 90%? - taken on the chest with front-end-loader-bucket arms, at highest reach.

He'd be entitled to trademark it.

Oh no! No Grinter, Lyon or Strawbs!

PS This is the full episode of AFL Grandstand, final round, 1987.

Found this while cleaning up today.

He was always so polite and friendly when you went into the store, happy to talk footy and sign an autograph.

The most electric single moment I've seen watching live.
In the pocket on the fence with my family.
The whole joint lit up as soon as the Geelong player fell over.
By the time Hannan kicked he was right in front of us.
The primal roar from the 90K pro Demon crowd still gives me chills.
And the look on my kids faces .......

Jordan Lewis reckons it was the loudest noise he's heard playing football.

Just watched it 4 more times.
Gotta chuckle at Spargo going through the kicking motion 😅

I’ll never forget the joy that day!

That was one hard tough game where our excellent play was let down by us kicking it to them, we had very good teams in. ‘87-88 who deserved more. Great winning goal from Gazza in the end.😁👍

Brian Wilson won the Brownlow Medal on this day in 1982.

I found this newspaper article from 1966 when Melbourne was in a steep decline after its golden era.

Note the last sentence of the article - “Melbourne's last nine scoring kicks were behinds.”

Nothing’s changed.

The Melbourne FC won the 1960 premiership 65 years ago today, Saturday 24th of September. This Premiership Team Photograph is from the Ron Barassi collection.

The "Quiet Day For Lord" headline in the bottom right-hand corner is more evidence - if any were needed - that God is a Melbourne supporter.
