David Nietz

[Almost done]

Two weeks running he gives away two stupid/undiciplined free kicks that play a significant part in us losing the game.

To be fair, if Wakelin wasn't nudged by Neitz then he would have comfortably taken the mark on the chest. I think Neitz had to try put him off and hope the umpire wouldn't pay a free kick.

But today I was very disappointed with the one he gave away in the last quarter, and his game in general.

 

[Animosity]

As a captain/leader ... you are also a risk taker and sometimes you just have to go on your instincts, not always the right decision .. but im glad neitzy has the balls to try to bend the rules a little

 

[master bate]

Any decent ump would have let it go, it was a push from it front, not high and wasnt crap from behind.

 

[Bartram_Class]

His name is Neitz for a start.

And Neitz's game has been built around the use of his strength, he is going to give away free kicks from time by time, I'd just to see some consistency from the Umpires.

 

[Bomber Bears]

Will this be his last season?

 

[On the bench]

If you watched the replay of the Bulldogs game after he kicked that goal in the last quarter he had a fairly noticeable grimace on his face,so obviously his knee is still giving him some trouble!

 

[Supermercado]

He's struggling but when he wasn't there the forward line consisted of Miller and Holland. I think I'd rather Neitz in a wheelchair/coma than I would four quarters of those other two clowns.

 

[demonfan9]

I disagree with Miller but I don't know why we had Holland replace Rivers. If there was a match up for him down back, then leave him there all day. Obviously there wasn't, which is why he got taken on and off throughout the day. He isn't a forwards ******** either, so why play him?

 

[Jonesy2]

For the life of me I cant work out why we keep playing Holland. He is an absolute dud. I just shake my head everytime he gets a game. Why wouldnt fergie replace rivers?

 

[master bate]

Dont like Holland but i think he did more than ferg would have yesterday, and i get the feeling they both will be gone at the end of the year

Neitz will be permitted his customary 5 games to work his way into a bit of form, kick bags of 5 and 4 and then re-lapse into low-contribution mode (or get injured).

You can't be too harsh on the man, he is still our number one forward and we've seen how our structure collapses when he isn't in the side. He is our captain, he leads from the front with his aggressive style of play (something you don't see from the likes of White, Green, Yze, Bruce, Johnstone, Robertson) and in case you forgot, he did bag +65 goals last year.

 

[master bate]

The big fella is still good, and Holland played cause Ferg, Bizzel and an unfit not ready Frawley were the only other options
