It is with great sadness that I advise you of the passing of Jo - well known for attending our Demonland Footy Forum matches over the last few seasons.

It's hard not to miss her - she was the only female to put on the Dees jumper, help out with umpiring, water fetching or running the boundary. I'm sure some of you remember her from our most recent of forum matches.

Jo fought a short battle with cancer, aged 34. She will be missed.

I don't believe she was a member of our forum, but was pretty much at every forum match we had to always give us a hand. Very fit, very active, taken away so quickly.

Thanks for that...it is so sad that cancer can be so aggressive, so quickly.

Terrible to hear. I did not know of her, but it is so sad to hear of someone passing at any age, but especially so young. I'm 31, and it truly is a scary thought. My condolences to all her family and friends.

What a horrible, horrible, unfair, non-discriminatory thing cancer is.

Any time you have an opportunity, and can afford even a tiny bit, please support the anti-cancer initiatives MFC (and others) get involved in. We in the MFC community seem to have been touched more than most recently.

Every bit helps.

RIP Jo.

Such sad and tragic news.

Jo was a good supporter and a fantastic trainer and runner for the boys. We even gave her a run against Talking Carlton and she aquitted herself well. I was worried she might get hurt but she definitely went in for the footy.

A great smile and fantastic personality.

We'll miss her.

I think she told me her forum name was 'joeyjimjams' or something similar...

She seemed like a great scout (in the limited time I had talking to her), loved playing & umpiring footy, it is very sad to see someone taken so early...

She was popular out at Box Hill Football Club too with the women's team. She always told me she was part of our team - even though she followed the Hawks.

Yes, she was known as 'joeyjimjams' not only on here, but also by all her football friends in the community.

Gone too soon.

Very sad news.

Amazing girl from the brief, brief time I met her. Sincere condolences to all who were close to her. Very sad indeed though I'm sure she brightened the lives of many.

Wow, terrible news. I think I remember her from that touch footy comp I played with you a few years back? RIP Jo...

You are right Madness, that's Jo.

Her funeral to be held back in Brisbane at Corinda - where she is originally from.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
