He’s right up there. The thing I love about Neita’s story is the leader that he became in his time as skipper. Plenty of off-field turmoil as you mentioned, the Crown incident and the age-old argument that you ‘cannot captain a team from full forward’ to contend with but I believe his leadership improved each year. They all walked taller with Neitz as captain. Garry was the best natural leader we had in my time. Connected so well with others and well respected in the league captaining Victoria one year.

We'll make it.

Been a little while since I checked the ranking but Ethan Read appears to have been a bolter? Running ruckman with good ground coverage. Any chance he could be in play?

The new jumper thread got me a bit paranoid..

Very good news, we need our leaders.

Couldn't agree more. Most people I know like Thurs night footy for the TV aspect and something to do but very few of them are prepared to go to the G on a Thurs night and do the whole nine yards with transport, crowds, expenses etc. I'm sure there are people here that are happy to go on Thurs night and the TV ratings are great but I personally don't like it.

No problem at all with him getting a rookie spot. You need honest toilers as many have already mentioned.

Happy 1200th page day.

One of the best captains we've had.

I say go over there and spoil the party.

Ikon Park be there or be square?

Very moving service, plenty of legends in attendance. The football memories were great but it was much more than footy or Melbourne. We got to see the person and his son Ron the 3rd's speech was possibly my favourite.

Do you know how much? You'd hope it's $300 or something

Have you ever used one of those rental power banks here? Wonder what happens if you don't return them.

My phone battery is churning up fast due to maximum screen brightness here on this belter of a day.

I just did the same thing. This is the guy that refused to wear a handed out St Kilda scarf for Shane Warne's day service. Not expecting much more than regulation speaking circuit stuff.

I've taken today off to go to the service. Have said a number of times on here that I never saw him play but he just meant that much to me.

I get those issues with Kayo live streaming as well, buffering and lagging. The only time it happens is when watching live. I've even compared it with Foxte Go which is Foxtel's live streaming App and that doesn't have the issue so it's definitely Kayo which is pretty disappointing.

Yeah well said. As well as cutting back on non-Melbourne games, my home became a non-football zone from Tuesday to Thursday. No footy shows, no 360, nothing. Footy pollution was at its worst and I know for others this is a dream but not me.

Win nailbiters, win flags. The Grand Final was a margin under a goal and so forth..

Love the idea but I don't know enough umpires. The end.

Well that's something for the Laundromat.

Lots of clunkage

Any thread that asks for barcodes.

Tough week. Colts, Falcons, Jets
