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.

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
