Career

Neeson was originally from Frankston, but played in Sydney with St George then Goulburn in the Canberra league, before joining Fitzroy.[2][3] He made seven appearances for Fitzroy, over the 1935 and 1936 seasons, followed by three years with Hawthorn, for which he played 34 games.

In 1939, while in Western Australia playing for East Perth, Neeson was sentenced to four-months imprisonment for stealing a motor car.[4]

He also played for the Mines Rovers in the Goldfields Football League and was the competition's best and fairest winner in 1947.[5]

gollark: > The "Write Pattern" command is new for DDR5; this is identical to a write command, but no data is transmitted. Instead, the range is filled with copies of a 1-byte mode register (which defaults to all-zero). Although this takes the same amount of time as a normal write, not driving the data lines saves energy. Also, writes to multiple banks may be interleaved more closely.
gollark: I think DRAM actually has a command for zeroing regions nowadays.

gollark: I would be surprised if CPUs lacked dedicated zeroing capabilities, actually.
gollark: You can do something something SIMD to zero large regions at once.
