No.1 David Neitz

Maybe, sadly. but my No. 1 is Yze. Time he did the right thing by the club, and retire (without being paid out), and give someone on the rookie list a chance.

    Doesn't say much about your list when a 22 year old has no idea how to play a game of football.

    No.1 David Neitz

    I am scared I have to agree. I appreciate all he has given for the club and enjoyed watching him play. Ove rthe last few weeks I have been a little embarrassed for him. I hope I am wrong. I saw no point in him playing on because we are a long way off a premiership. Might as well have Newton learning the tempo if the game. On saying all this, I do not want to see Neiter in Sandy's team.

    He (and Sylvia) got an absolute spray after last week's game by Bailey, yet Neita still struggled today and showed just as little as last week. A boy sitting behind me asked today if a captain can be dropped then someone answered that Richie Vandenberg was dropped for a period of time whilst he was captain?? Anyone know how that worked out, or didn't work out?

    Very sad and tough time for Neita. :(

    No.1 David Neitz

    Neitz is too old to be carrying the team, but is usefull as a 2nd tall forward & takes a very good opponent.

    Robbo is fat, lazy & finished, He doesn't care anymore & should go. Play Bate @ fullforward.

    Yze is finished, far too slow.

    Green must be traded, I am so sick of seeing him find cheap kicks in the back pocket & the lack of hard running from him astounds me how he gets away with it for so long now.

    White should just be a backup ruck as we, put games into PJ (1) when he gets back, & also Jamar (2).

    Noticed this especially today, and whilst he was one of the major culprits, sadly was not the only one. The so-called senior players of the club set an especially poor example for the young kids coming through in this regard. The likes of Green, White, Bruce and Robertson are constantly making position twenty metres ahead of the player in possession in the pockets and flanks, rather than pushing to a dangerous position further up the ground that will help advance the ball forward of the centre.

    The worse part is that these players are constantly rewarded for their 'positioning' by getting the cheap one over the top. It's only a matter of time before the new boys like Morton realize that if they want to get a kick, all they have to do is hover around these pockets and flanks and they'll exponentially increase their stats sheet, whilst not helping us move forward as a club one bit...

    True.

    The game passed him by when he was about 11.

    MFC still hold out hope that one day he might be as good as his old man. there obviously slow learners.

    I must be one of the few, as angry as we all are, doesnt the idea of a Melbourne demons team with Neita bring a tear to your eye? He is the heart and soul of this team, and has been for a decade. He has been below average, but in his defence not many forwards would be kicking bags with the $hitful delivery and today the umpires were ANTI Neitz and co.

    He has been average, but SURELY, he will get one last chance next week. One last chance to turn it on and kick/mark himself back into form.

    I will be at the footy next week, I do not want it to be the last time i ever watch the great David Neitz play in the Red and Blue. I hope he can turn it aorund, and play the season out.

    the fact is, david neitz takes the no. 1 forward...you cant expect him to kick bags with sh** delivery and a complete lack of inside 50's with no space to run into...he has not lost it, just wait until we actually have a good amount of effective inside 50's and he will play well...he his actually allowing for the development of other forwards by taking the no. 1 back, its just bailey is not really trying anyone else

    rumour has it that green is sneakily being crept into the forward line each week, because they recon he could go on for atleast another 5 years as a FF

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
