Another ex-Melbourne player joins the coaching ranks.

Funny the connection we have to former melbourne players and administrators

Neitz was an absolute champion defender and FF. If he is a good teacher then we have an absolute ripper here. Clarko and co do it again. He will teach our developing forwards and back a bucketload. I hope he spends time with Schoey - he could learn so much from Neitz.

That was my first thought - Schoey could learn so much from Neitz. All time gun.

Any truth to the rumour that Clarko's "big picture" is a re-enactment of the 1996 merger game to be held at Waverley?

He's only missing a few pieces of the puzzle now.

Can we just cut and paste our responses from the Danny Frawley appointment thread back in here?
Most people feel a part time defense coach will help Shoey play better

At least this one was a former player.

 

[Flukey!]

He is also a former HFC cheer squad member if I recall correctly.

Sure that wasn't Schwarz?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Interesting he hasn't come in from coaching gigs.

Geez we do churn through assistants don't we...

It gives his resume here... http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2014-11-24/neitz-joins-the-hawks

 

[Pessimistic]

Funny but I never really respected him that much, maybe when his career highlight on retirement was the cowardly attack on mccabe whos head was over the ball. Started the end of mccabe career.

Ill be happy to be proven wrong though

So not coaching then.
Hoping he's not too rusty...eventho he'd catch on quick you'd think.
Imo he was a top shelf player for Melb

I'm very suspicious.
Didn't we vote against merging with Melbourne?

Are we going to be the Melbourne Dawks?

Having a child.

 

[Argy]

Having a child.

That only took me 3 minutes.

That only took me 3 minutes.

Braggot!

Braggot!

Well, I did have three kids. One minute each.

Geelong trying to beat us to it

 

[Phil McCreviss]

Having a child.

I'm good mates with the big fella and he was after that part time gig for a while. Glad to see Clarko finally has him on board.

And yes, juggling Swiss, a newborn and part time coaching is going to be a challenge

You are right. Its not Neitz.
