Haven't seen anything on here yet regarding the bloke who handed Sean Wight's #27 playing jumper to the MFC recently. Seems a young Anthony Bergin (a Geelong supporter) talked his Mum into buying it at an auction back in 1987. Anthony has taken good care of it all these years and, with Sean's passing, saw fit to give the jumper to the MFC.

I just reckon it is a wonderful gesture, and we here on this supporters' forum should acknowledge it as such.

So, well done, and thanks, Anthony!

(Just hope he doesn't feel any sense of ingratitude on the part of the Club if the Mighty Dees turn the tables on his Cats this weekend! :lol: )

I totally agree with all those sentiments Barrie. Thanks for bringing the gesture to our attention.

Thats a great gesture. Thank you Anthony. If you are at the game I hope we can play in the spirit that Sean would have and make it a classic match.

It is a great gesture.

Was fortunate to attend the President's Lunch last week against Hawthorn and when Jim Stynes presented the jumper to the room it was a touching moment as was the video package paying tribute to Sean Wight. I know there was a lot of tears in the room especially when Jim was overcome with emotion during his speech. Even friends in my group who don't barrack for Melbourne had tears in their eyes.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
