After the retirement of the Tigers Darren Gaspar today, it got me thinking how many years our champion David Neitz has left in the game. When the time comes he will be surely missed, so sit back and enjoy every game he plays.

Barring any major injury myguess would be that next year will be his last.

Edit: When does his current contract run out?

Posted

Yeah, I'm thinking next year at the end.

The best demon over the journey in the last 15 years I reckon. He was the one I watched from when I was 13 or 14 onwards, and my heart swells with pride when his name is mentioned like no other. When the day finally comes, I plan to write a beefy post. And those of you that know me know that that's saying something!

Occo... What do you think?

;)

I think a lot will depend on how he plays out this season... should ( god forbid ) he be struck down again...thensomeone has to start asking some very tough questions !! thats just a reality, no sleight intended !!

Posted

Neita has 1-3 seasons left in him. I would take a punt on this year and next, beyond that seems unlikely.

Posted

Hopefully another 12 seasons. We can pack our bags and join the PNGAFL if he retires any time soon and without a proper replacement. We've got to do all within our power to keep him on the list.

I dont even want to comprehend Neitz retiring

We would officially be the softest team ever assembled on a footy field

What a crock. :rolleyes:

McLean, Sylvia, Bell, Jones, Petterd, Pickett, Moloney, Carroll, Godfrey, Miller, Rivers, Whelan.

These are just the ones that I can think of right now and none of them you could accuse as being soft.

He has long said that he wants to have one year of not being the captain so he doesn't have to deal with the pressure before he retires. So i'd expect next year to be his last and the captaincy will be handed over to Brock McLean and Neitz can be a sort of mentor to Chooka.

There is no doubt in my mind that he's the greatest Melbourne player i've seen in the time i've been following the Dees (13 years), and it will be a teary day for me in his last game.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
