My heart skipped a beat when Bill Brownless started off by saying sad news from the melbourne footy club with the passing of then he said Stuart Spencer. I thought oh no not Jim.

What a legend he was for our footy club and condolences to his friends and family.

    RIP Stuart Spencer. You were a legend with your courageous play and those beautiful, long drop kicks setting up yet another Melbourne victory. He kicked 5 goals in one GF which is not bad for an onballer. Condolences to all his family and close friends.

    Sincere condolences to Fay and all of the family and friends. He was very close to Sean Wight and passed away in the same year, unbelievable. Another great Demon has left us. RIP Stuart.

    I met Stuart Spencer a few times via an x MFC player friend.

    He was a truely nice guy.

    You cannot givemuch more than he gave to the MFC.

    We got close while Stuart was president but could not pull it off for him.

    Another legend of the MFC is gone.

    Go Dees or in his days it was probably "carn the redlegs"!

    Let us never forget that Stuie Spencer was President when the MFC returned to it's dark Blue Jumper....& also he was President when we made 5 consequtive Final Series between '87 & '91 under the coaching of John Northey from the Junction Oval which was truly an antique

    We earn't some hard Respect back during those years....not quite the ultimate...BUT we were a Tough side.

    Thanks Stuart....You did your best

    Stuart Spencer used to visit my "local" in Hawthorn and always had time for a chat. His passion for the MFC was always evident. I have great memories of the last GF training session at the Junction Oval in 88 and he addressed the true believers beautifully. While we all know we got flogged in the GF, that was one of my best ever memories following the Dees.

    My thoughts are with Fay, who nursed both Sean and Stuart through their illnesses. A remarkable lady and Stuart's one true love. Also condolences to Stuart's children and extended family.

    You may be gone Stuie, but your proud legacy will live on at the MFC.

    All of the above.

    On field, a true great. B&F twice in premiership teams that are acknowledged as high among the best ever; also leading goalkicker in one of those years, and missed out by one goal in the other. As a rover. Kicked 5 in his last game, a winning GF, in which he was probably the "pre-Norm" winner for BOG. Certainly put the number 12 on a high pedestal, along with Jack Mueller and Todd Viney.

    Off field outstanding contributor also, to the club and as a person. Remember seeing him at Princes Park one frigid Saturday arvo in the nineties; small crowd, we were being done, and at half time he was standing at the bar with some mates in that freezing tunnel in the outer on the northern wing. Thought it was a good look - genuinely supporting the club, not sitting behind glass getting freebies.

    Credit to the Collingwood FC. A very genuine notice in today's Herald Sun in memory of Stuart. Shows how much respect they had for Stuart when he decimated the magpies in those far too long ago Grand Finals. Well done Eddie and C'wood board.

    My memories of Stuart when he was President of the club. I attended a family day at the MCG. When I arrived Stuart was re-arranging rubbish bins in the concourse. Later in the day he was wearing an apron & cooking sausages on the barbie. Next assignment - wearing a bathing costume sitting in the dunking machine taking many dips - all for his beloved Melbourne Football Club. Always had time to have a chat with anyone about MFC.

    Vale Stuart Spencer. Condolences to Fay & family

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
