Ah those were the days. St Peters had 2 teams running in parallel in the junior section. Played my first few years of footy there. I remember playing against Paul O'Brien who was in the other St Peters team. He was flashy and evasive and always hard to catch, until I just watched his hips. Nailed him with some good tackles after that. Fond memories of an old fashioned pie night when a few Melbourne players came down to Bailey Reserve since we were in their 'feeding' zone - Max Walker and Greg Wells (and I think either Tony Sullivan or Stan Alves??). Very early seventies. I got to play 3 games in the little league in the demons colours because of our location in their zone.

At least you got to wear the Demon colours which are infinitely better than St. Peter's red and green stripes. Otherwise, I must say they are a well run club.

Melbourne signed two players who were 15 to play in the U19 because zoning was going to be scraped, the players were David Schwarz and Neitz.

Ans = Matthew Febey
Matthew Febey (born 19 August 1969)
Originally from Devonport, Febey was drafted to Melbourne in 1986 but suffered from injuries and before he made his senior debut got delisted.
He nominated for the draft again in 1992 and was picked up mid-season by Melbourne from his then club Rochester.
Almost immediately he made his debut and established a place in the side, often on the wing. An inaccurate kick at goal, his 44 career goals were surpassed by his 60 behinds.
When Febey played his 100th AFL game in 1997, he and his twin brother Steven Febey became the first pair of twins in the history of the league to both achieve the feat.
He appeared in six finals matches during his career, including the Preliminary Finals of 1994 and 1998.
After managing just two games in 2000 due to hamstring and finger injuries, he announced his retirement.

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
