Vale Sean Wight

I was proud and honoured to be able to call Sean Wight my friend. He was my favourite player from his first game. And then I was lucky enough to get to know Sean personally and found we shared a passion for four- and two-wheel motorsport. We had fun together on hillclimbs, motorkhanas and rallies. Keep the co-driver's seat ready for me, Sean, when it's my turn! You will be forever missed. My thoughts are with Peggy, Gwen and Fiona, and Stuart and Faye who supported Sean from the day he came to the Dees. Words can't express how sad I feel.

Good words H&S.

A great great demon, who made his life exceptional.

R.I.P Sean.

A sad day for the club and more so his family.

One of my all time favourite Demons.

Still reckon he kicked the greatest goal I ever saw at the 'G in pouring rain against the Tiges, the ball went over his head into the pocket, Sean went sliding into it and soccer kicked a freak goal.

A great player who would be considered a legend if his body enabled him to reach the heights he deserved.

Champion of our club. Great loss way too soon. Just so wrong.

Best memory of one day at Catland when Sean kept Ablett snr to 1 goal, and basically toweled him up. Can't remember the year, but I gave it to my Geelong supporting friend even though we lost.

RIP Sean Wight :(

What a footballer! What a guy! Very,very sad news. RIP Wighty I will always remember your tenacity, skill and passion on the football field. You were a true Demon through and through. Sympathy to his family and to you 'Hip and Shoulder'. You were a lucky guy to have known Sean personally as a friend.

Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking! One of my all-time favourites in 60+ years supporting the Dees. RIP Irish, you will never be forgotten in the annals of the Melbourne Football Club.

Terrible news. A great player for the club and his goal saving dives are memories I will always treasure.

RIP.

Yeh, agree with all the great memories everyone has put here already.

I saw Sean on 4 or 5 occasions over the past 2 years, and last had a beer with him about 6 months ago. He was an intelligent, funny and engaging man. He has lot of great footy stories to boot.

I am very saddened by his passing and wish his family well.

Awful news to hear today. My thoughts are with his family, and all at the club. It will be an emotional night tomorrow night. May the boys do you proud Wighty. RIP.

THERE'S A LUMP IN MY THROAT AND TEARS IN MY EYE'S, THE IRISH/SCOTT WAS A TRULY COURAGEOUS FOOTBALLER FOR THE DEE'S. RIP SEAN WIGHT.

LUV YA PAL.

RIP Sean. Your a true and humble champion. You will be looking down on everyone you loved helping them in what ways you can. Just like you did for the Melbourne FC for so many years

I am so sorry for Sean and his family.

Sean thanks for the memories and the enjoyment you provided in watching you play.

I also hope that JImmy doesnt take this too hard he was very close I believe to Sean.

Jimmy is a Inspiration and I hope he gains a even stronger will to succeed in believing that Sean would want him to do just that

My condolences to all, we the MFC have lost a great club man

I watched the video and boy do the memories flood

back he really was the personification of all things great about MFC in the 80's and 90's

Seeing him wearing the big V very emotional great tribute MFC

I often get asked why Melbourne and I have often given a long winded story of how I barracked for them from 2years of age

Now all I think I need to say is with players like Sean Wight how could it not be Melbourne

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
