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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
