Farewell Neita
Even though we all knew it was coming I'm still stunned that the era of Neitz is over. He now joins the likes of Tingay, Lyon and Lovett in not getting to play a 'farewell' game.
Everyone's got about a thousand memories (most of them of him murdering Luke McCabe) but the two days that will stand out in my memory are when he kicked 9 against Richmond, and especially the 8 against St. Kilda when he just ran riot like a 21 year old.

Most of all we'll remember him as a supreme leader. My money's on Cam Bruce getting the job, but he'll have some massive shoes to fill.

Big Shoes indeed.
Farewell to the big fella, we are far less of a team without him, even in his twilight years he brought something that no other player on our list currently has.
Not the way he should have left the game, but glad I was there for his last.
