Read the Sunday Herald Sun today with interest to find that Buddy Franklin was a Melbourne Demons supporter before joining Hawthorn, that his favourite players were Gary Lyon and David Schwarz, that he used to wear a jumper with the number on his back.

Geez, to think arguably 2 of the 3 most important players in the AFL at the moment barracked for Melbourne, and we're languishing at the bottom of the table. .

    Sad that he's now a hawk for life.

    There isn't too many Demons in Perth either!

    And Brock McLean a Bombers supporter, David Schwarz a Hawks supporter.............the list can go on and on.

    Unless it's father / son, has club supported as a kid ever really mattered?

    It's strange to think that not that long ago he was one of us following the Dees through all their (very few) highs and lows.

    I'd love to see a team made up of Melbourne supporting players, it would be interesting to see.

    - S. Buckley

    - Judd

    - Franklin

    - Pendlebury (?)

    - Moloney

    Who else?

    I thought McLean didn't follow any one?

    No.

    No. And I'd prefer Pavlich anyway.

    I dont see the big deal in who a player supported as a child aside from hoodwinking gullible followers to think its creates some mythical obligation/ hold over/ ownership of the player's future and some dastardly piece of bad luck when reality sets in and AFL rules have concocted like they have for over 40 years to have the player playing for another Club.

    FFS I don't see the big deal about a few posters simple having a chat about who supported what club out of "interest".

    I wouldn't as it would mean the return of Chris Heffernan. :o

    I've been reading some of your recent posts, Rhino and, boy, do you have a bug up your arse recently. Which is a shame, because most of the time what you say is pretty spot on. Remember to always look on the bright side of life, buddy.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
