While I will always be a Demons supporter through and through, I have watched more non-MFC games this season than I ever have before. I've come to enjoy watching many non-Demon players and marvel at their skills. Who is your favourite non-MFC player to watch? Are there any names you can think of that should be added to the list? Why do you like watching these players?

It's hard not to be impressed by Gary Ablett. We knew he was good at Geelong, but after his move to the Suns, without the supporting cast he had at the Cats, I think he's shown how great he really is.

Luke Hudge is another I like to watch, although he hasn't been out on the park much this season.

Pendles and he is exactly what we need, shame he signed earlier this year... Don't know why but I had some hope we were going to throw massive cash at him and maybe snare him, both our on field and off field dramas think quashed this pretty quickly

Bartel & Hodge for mine. Love watching Ablett, Franklin & Rioli's freakish skills, but love the hardness of Bartel & Hodge and their abilties to just get the job done when it matters. I'm hoping Trengove is another player in their mould.

I'm with you, especially Luke Hodge - monstrous competitive spirit. No quarter asked, none given.

it's to depressing watching 2 sides play well at the moment...i prefer to watch movies inbetween Demons Thrashings at present.

I must admit wyl I am similar.

However I have signed on mentally as a Hawks follower.

I might even squeeze in a live game in the next few weeks

Not sure if they are playing on our bye weekend but that might be it

PS just checked they play the Lions on our week off that will be a slaughter so maybe not

In terms of skill when Buddy is on fire he is incredibly exciting. Reminds me of what Ablett Snr. and Carey used to do in terms of becoming the sole focus of a game.

For endeavor I love Ablett Jnr, Bartel, and this year Lenny Hayes.

I also love to see the mature aged recruits do well. It's good for the game and flies in the face of some of the over thinking that goes into player development. Some blokes just have the desire. Pods, Tory Dixon, our very own Mitsubishi.

Paul Chapman. Tough, uncompromising and brilliant. Love to have him in our side. Goal sense is fantastic. Ablett and Judd also great to watch.

P.S. Just read that Chapman played with Melbourne reserves before he was drafted in 1999. A big fish who got away. We had him and let him go.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
