Thanks for the memories Merv you were a great competitor..... God Bless

As a young kid I watched the 80's Essendon team on TV and always thought they were the scariest side going around. Merv Neagle was at the forefront. To me , Essendon resembled the Queanbeyan F.C. in the ACT. Very tough and talented. They were the days. Good on you, Merv.

They should get the 2020 soft bombers to look at this champions highlights and learn what it takes to win a flag We all loved Merv in the 80s

I remember well the 1984 2nd semi against Hawthorn: MN was in brilliant form, and although the Hawks narrowly won the match, I knew that with the painful smashing in the 1983 GF, that if we got through the '84 preliminary and had another crack, we were good enough to win. And we did. Vale Merv Neagle.

Swashbuckling is spot on Tim, he was a beauty.

R.I.P Mervy Neagles, 10 years late.

could take mark of the day, kick goal of the day, and even though he was a clean player, if a team mate got whacked Merv was first on the scene. and he arrived like a freight train.
