Shit, with stats like that, and the rise of Juice, maybe Deano could try something different and play the great man in the guts. White taps to Jones, quick-fire handball to Neitz who bombs a goal from the centre square and lands on the third level of the Southern Stand.

 

[Deenamite]

Next year we can just get demonfan9 to edit it with all of Juice's record-breaking stats. But some great achievements there for the skipper.

 

[Deenamite]

Was anyone watching the tennis an hour ago when Neitz presented a jumper to Ana Ivanovic? Thats a fair achievement if you ask me.

If I remember correctly he got those possessions playing at CHB against the Eagles at Telstra Dome.

The man is a legend.

 

[DemonErrol1964 - dees]

Yup, His kicking accuracy may have waned a touch in recent times but christ those goddam stats are worthy of David being our most elite player.

We had a slogan in the 80's of "Let's do it for Robbie" (Flower), Now it's definately gotta be to play in a winning GF for Neita.

He also did a great bump on Mark Graham and then in the same play turned around and banged a goal - legend!

You might find that was Luke McCabe

 

[#1 Dogs Fan]

Neitz is a player that reminds me very much of Chris Grant. Although i find Chris to be more versatile and Chris has proven him self worthy on both ends of the ground by almost winning two brownlows in both positions.

They are both very loyal for their team and both would have loved the chance to win a premiership. Chris Grants turn has passed him so Neitz doest have to long left.

 

[demonfan9]

Neitz did play a lot of his early career at centre half back, and actually made the Victorian SOO in 1994 and the All-Australian side in 1995 from that position.

Grant has been a better player overall though. A shame neither have won a flag.

ah ok

 

[aaronm46]

meeting ana ivanovic was probably the highlight of his career
