Hi everyone.

I recently did an interview with former demons player Shannon Motlop and thought some people on here might be interested.

Some of the questions that came up were:

What are your memories of the Melbourne Football Club? Do you still have friends there who you catch up with here and there?

After your time at North Melbourne you played for North Adelaide in the SANFL, and then you were given a second chance at the start of the following year, when Melbourne recruited you as a replacement for Troy Broadbridge, who tragically died in the Boxing Day disaster. How did that come about?

What are your memories of the Melbourne Football Club? Do you still have friends there who you catch up with here and there?

As a retired AFL footballer, who do you barrack for now?

Also there is questions about racism, memories of that famous goal he kicked in the VFL and much more.

Shannon Motlop: Premierships, racisim & life after AFL

Thanks to Shannon for allowing me to interview him.

It was very interesting to hear the story how he got picked up by Melbourne. Top bloke.

Also, good work smashing the Swans. You guys are going to be a powerhouse. Dees are my second team. Always good to see Demons succeed.

Thanks again

Pretty amazing that someone can have a relatively short career - 54 games & 10 games - and play in an AFL Premiership & 2 VFL premierships.

How many play 300+ games and not play in one.

Bobby Skilton from South Melbourne comes to mind.

Bobby Skilton played in 237 games. Semi final was about the highest his team reached.

300+ games players never to have played in a G.F

Bernie Quinlan 366 Brad Johnson 357 (current player) Doug Hawkins 350

Chris Grant 341 Kevin Murray 333 Gary Dempsey 329

Barry Round 328 Ian Nankervis 325 Scott West 324

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
