Two former MFC Brownlow medalists who both love the red and the blue.

Don't forget that Woey didn't really want to go to the filth..it was just that his post-brownlow contract was savagely back ended we couldn't really afford to keep him anymore.

I believe that when Woey got married [during his filth career] most of the AFL related guests were MFC...where his heart lies.

He was also starting to plateau and deteriorate as a football and the brave and correct decision to trade him should have been applied to others at the senior end of list that collect their cheques and clog our list.

Its great he is doing whatever he can to support the red and blue. However I dont see a strategic role for him at MFC beside being a public face supporting our membership drive next year. he still has alot of connection with MFC supporters.

Good luck Woey.

He did his best to publicly ridicule the club at any opportunity he had while he was at Collingwood, how quickly people forget.

No one has forgotten. It serves no purpose to harbour on it

For the good of the Club's future I am happy to have him back in the fold to support the new administration. If can add support there are many supporters who are still fond of Woey and he may have some traction with them.

You miss my point, Woey has demonstrated time and time again that he talks first before thinking his actions through, I'm not sure someone of his level of intelligence would be of great benefit to a club in our position. Even as recent as last weekend he was making comments about 'barracking for Collingwood', he is hardly a Melbourne man like Stynes, Greg Healy, Gary Lyon etc.

Source? I dont think so.

Yeah I did sorry :(

I agree with your assessment though of him. Fantastic on the field in his early years but a little restricted off it at times!

I hope Jimmy is a vanguard to at least get more ex players to rally around and engender support for the Club.

Anything that gets past MFC players to help the club in any capacity is a plus in my opinion.

Something Garry suffers from is he's everywhere in the media, meaning people expect him to do more.

Anything that past players can do is very welcome in my mind.

Hope to see Woey around, how quickly we forget he was a favourite son, no, just joking, we always remember

Precisely. He is a Brownlow Medalist AND with the Melbourne Football Club. If he wants to provide assistance, then so be it. A lot of supporters still love him therefore, however he can help sign up members - let him help.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
