Have blogged my thoughts on Jimmy here. http://fcmelbourne.com/blog/post/FCM...ma-status-mfc/

My Top 5 demons:

1. Norm Smith. Our greatest ever coach

2. Ron Barassi. Our greatest ever captain.

3. David Neitz. Stats don't lie.

4. Jim Stynes. See blog. Amazing story and the book is not yet closed. May yet rise to #1.

5. Robert Flower. Anyone who followed the club during our darkest hour would agree. Freak.

My top 5 are:

1. Ron Barassi On his own way out in front. Mr Football.

2. Norm Smith What a player, what a coach!

3. Laurie Mithen Superb skills and as tough as nails.

4. Robert Flower Sublime skills.

5. Stuart Spencer Those long raking,accurate drop kicks!

    Why oh why was I born in Flower's last year.

    I wish I could've seen him!

    In my opinion Norm Smith is head and shoulders above any other Demon. How can he not be when he either played in or coached 10 of our 12 flags.

    1. Smith

    2. Barassi

    3. Ridley - player/coach/committee member/president

    4. Flower - kept the spirit of long suffering supporters alive

    5. Checker Hughes/ Iva Warne-Smith

    what about the top (worst) 5? of the modern era

    1/ Brent Gergic - Nothing more needs to be said (ND's love child?)

    2/ Luke Molan - injury & unluckiest player in a long time

    3/ Neil Blame - probably years ahead with game plan, lack of understanding of players capabilities

    4/ Nick Smith - Promising tall, delivered nothing

    5/ Paul Gardner- Run the club to the wall in a time of economic prosperity, but always painted a positive picture

    This post qualifies for the worst of the year. Just taking cheap shots, and grossly inaccurate.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
