David Neitz retires at age 33 - What do you think of his achievements?

Question

To me he wasn't overly blessed with talent but he was selected as an All Australian on two occassions; played for 15 years; holder of the most games for the Demons (306); most goals (631); Fairest & best at the club 2002; Coleman medalist 2002; longest ever serving captain at the club

I liked him as a player & wish him luck. He is the only player ever to hold the record of most games, most goals & most matches as captain at any club.

Answer 1

a great servent to the mfc

just a pitty about the injuries

Answer 2

I think he has achieved plenty. He should be proud of himself.

It will interesting to see what he does now - as he is not a person who is always full in your face.

Answer 3

It's a very sad note that he has to retire on. I am pleased he had a successful career. I do wonder how he would have rated at a different club though.

I'm sorry to see a footy gentleman go.

Interesting to see what he does now.
