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.

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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
