Many, many of you will have met or know of Dudley Phillips not just through his weekly raffle for the club but also through his unstinting support for the MFC.

Sadly Dudley passed away today aged 91.

RIP.

Legend of the club.

Used to run between his legs to get into the rooms as a kid in the early 80's - no one was allowed in unless you had a pass or knew Dudley or if you were under 10! Great memories. Won the Dudley raffle 3 times! Crappy printed signatures on a crappy plastic red and blue footy - absolutely loved them!

Beautifully said WJ - I remember Dudley as a very friendly gentleman who seemed to know, and be known by, everyone in the crowd - RIP Dudley.

RIP Dudley, I can remember going to the footy and saying hi every week. Lovely man and will be sorely missed.

Same with me. Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Dudley. May the clubs raffle carry your name proudly in perpetuity.

Worth noting that he got a gig in our 'Team of the Century' print too in a nice touch by artist Jamie Cooper at the time...

"Players raffle, 3 for 2 dollars"...

RIP Dudley

".... or 10 for 5......." which he used to rip off the butt with unerring accuracy..

The numbers would come up on the big screen for 5 seconds while the game was on and then disappear forever!

He sometimes gave us the word on any late changes too before they were common knowledge.

A lovely man and a true Demon.

RIP Dudley. You'll always be remembered.

I watched my Auntie buy 5 raffle tickets from Dudley every week we went to the footy as far back as I can remember. I am pretty sure we have a signed footy from a mid 80's MFC team somewhere. Almost as many wins as the Dee's them selves.

RIP Dudley

What a great Demon supporter he was. What a lot of our great Club History he saw.

Fortunately he's been pretty unaware of our recent demise.

He really did deserve to be in the team of the century painting as our no. 1 supporter.

He was in with the inner sanctum but never "bignoted" at all. He couldn't be drawn to comment on controversial issues within the Club.

I remember asking him what he thought about the merger debate during that terrible time. He was non- committal, but I'm sure he wanted to stick by his mate Ridley, though at the same time he wanted our club to continue as it was. A real case of divided loyalty .

He'll always be remembered fondly by long term Demon fans.

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
