Geelong Football Club tries to revive VFL curtain-raiser

GEELONG and Collingwood are hoping to bring some tradition back to the MCG next year, requesting a VFL curtain-raiser before their round nine AFL clash.

The two clubs have forwarded the idea to the VFL as part of their requests for the 2008 fixture.

The Pies will join Geelong in fielding a stand alone VFL team next season, after ending their alliance with affiliate Williamstown this year.

Collingwood approached the premiers about the idea of playing a curtain-raiser before the Friday night AFL game on May 23.

Although the Cats are supportive of the idea, the AFL is believed to have said the fixture would be unlikely because round nine is indigenous round and three AFL games are planned for the MCG that weekend.

DELISTED by Melbourne last month, Tasmanian Heath Neville has signed to the Devils in the VFL next year, in the hope of rekindling his AFL career

Devils coach Daryn Cresswell signed Neville yesterday as one of four recruits in Melbourne this week.

AFL Tasmania will announced the quartet in Hobart today, with the promise of more recruits to follow.

Neville, who played for Clarence and the Mariners, was taken by the Demons at No. 68 in the 2005 draft.

His shot at the AFL was ruined by a frustrating fight with osteopubis, restricting him to only a handful of games with Melbourne's VFL affiliate Sandringham over the past two seasons.

But Neville has now put his groin issues to bed.
