Neitz to play on

Featured Replies

 

The man is a champion and deserves to captain us in our 150th season.

Loved his comment about the mark. I think he was trying to nicely imply that Robbo is a bit fatter than Juice ;)

I fuly expect Neita to pay on next year, play every game he can and have an impact. Maybe he won't be in the running for the coleman, but by gee he'll be important for our big 3 KP forwards in Bate, Dunn and Juice, as well as guys like Garland and PJ.

I actually reckon he could have a place in 2009, but in all seriousness, 2008 could be his last chance at a great year. I'm going to be there every week pretty much for him.

 

im not sure his injuries have been age either, more bad luck. but his ability to heal does seem to be diminishing...

Which is why he should take the rest of the year off!

He is not needed this season, and he shouldn't be made to play alongside the embarrassment that is our team at the moment.

If I was a prospective coach of the Dees, I'd be watching our leadership group very closely over the next 6 weeks to decide who should and who shouldn't be there (in an official capacity) next year. If Neitz is going to captain the team next year, I'd like to see him lift a few of his team mates over the remaining rounds. It's easy to lead a team enjoying a Geelong-like run. The best leaders make a stand when things are at their most challenging. I wouldn't be surprised if Neitz gets us over the line in a couple of games once he's got his touch back. But I'm guessing most people aren't interested in us winning any more games. A couple of upset victories might be just the advertisement we need to provide in regards to attracting the best available in a now competitive search for a coach.

Neitz playing on always seemed likely. Good to hear it though.

Yeah, it's possible. Lynch went on for a fair while, but he'd missed a fair bit of footy with CFS.

Nice to see he'll just be on a one-year contract though. Both parties can reassess at the end of '08.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
