sums it up pretty well. undoubtedly our greatest player of the naughties and one of our best all time.

congrats on a great career neita!

hope we get to see you out on the park one more time for the send off you deserve!

An All-Australian defender who won the coleman medal....I'm just waiting for some boof head to say "he did nothing".

Neita has shown a ton-of-guts to play on this year with that sort of condition.

Neita is doing the right thing by going on to the long term injury list and giving the club a chance to get some more development time into a rookie.

From a playing perspective I am one of those saying that time's all but up. Hopefully he is fit again for the Geelong game [as suggested by posters earlier] and we can give him the send off he deserves...and gives us a rare highlight in this nightmare of a season.

I'd rather he called it a day there and then, and then took on a role within the club on an ongoing basis...just the kind of bloke we need around the MFC going forwards.

    His records speaks for itself - he is the greatest MFC player ever.

    Just want to be there for his last game and help give him the send off he has earned and deserves.

    One of the greatest players to don the red and blue. Hard to classify him as THE greatest as Lyon and Stynes are the only other great players i've seen, certainly one of the hardest working players in the history of the club.

    Will be hard to watch him go.

    • 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.

      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.
