With all these Presidents getting together courtesy of Jim Stynes being a fair minded Bloke etc I would love to see John Northey Bought back to the club as a guest or whatever. He did a lot for this club & wasn't that far off winning us the elusive 13th.

I remember having a chat to him at the '88 B & F. He was a really Good Bloke. With all the past players being embraced lets not forget the coaches. Just an idea i may put to the club

Was a superb coach for his time. Had a young list with a little bit of talent and formed them into a team of believers. I have a huge amount of respect for the man and the way he put that side together.

If any one could do it, it would be Jimma.

Would be good to have a get together of the coaches:

Ron Barassi, John Northey, Neil Balme, Danaher, Big Carl, Bobby Skilton...

Would be an interesting get together.

That sounds like an awesome idea! Just get a few of the former coaches along to tell a few stories and turn it into a MFC fundraiser! :)

I'm sure that John Northey and Co would have quite a few interesting stories to tell.

I suggest Emailing this idea and any others to the MFC here: [email protected]

northey showed me something i never saw before, finals, he was a great demon well ahead of his time, as any coach since done any better, it would be fantastic to see the great man pop in once in a while.

Glad other people feel the same way about John Northey & his time at Melbourne.

Round 22 1987 & the Following week in that first Final I was so Proud to Be a Demon Suporter.

'87 was also the year we returned to the Red & Dark Blue Strip. Thankyou!

Northey Should get a lap of Honour during a Home Game. He Deserves our thanks.

He would have been so proud when Jim Stynes Won the Brownlow in '91.

IMHO ... this is a superb fund raising idea. I would pay money to listen to this group of ex-coaches say their piece.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
