having met the man and spoken to him many times , he dearly loves melbourne , he had time for anyone that said hello and even when discussing business he would always talk

still sends business my way with his friends also have pinball machines

a great player and all round good bloke

his story is very heartbreaking , but he is big enough to say he did wrong ( with gambling )

Massive man crush on this bloke.

I met him a few times and he is more than happy to talk, sign autographs and have photos taken.

Would love to have someone of his ilk playing for us now.

Absolute star.

David Schwarz - He's better than Nureyev!

I dont know Schwarta intimately and have heard portions of his story throughout his career but I do know that he is highly regarded for his honesty in acknowledging his problems and the resilience in confronting them.

Hope his messages got through to the next generation.

The need to make the most of the opportunity,

The privilege they have

the friendships they can make and retain

The reputation they can forge.

Agree. He was my favourite player during his career and as others have said was always very approachable. Glad he has turned his life around and I hope he has more involvement with the Dees from now on. He is a favourite son.

The young players would have been privileged to hear him speak and I am sure his message would ring loudly in their ears.

Yes, great to hear the ice has been broken at last, and he's made a return of sorts. His experience would be an invaluable plus around the Club. Sure hope he spends more time there from now on, helping mentor some of the new crop.

Young Jimmy Toumpas has big shoes to fill, running around in the #5.

Welcome back ox.

I can never forget those two finals games in 1994 - we could all see that we had, at last, uncovered a superstar......then all went down with a great big thud.

Has he been offered any specialist coaching position, or as a mentor to maybe Jesse Hogan or JW?

I am sure especially now that he has shown such insight and is 'clean' his life experiences could contribute a lot.

As has been pointed out by Redleg, being a star player doesn't mean that you will necessarily be a star senior coach - hello Buckley and Hird - but some rôle could surely be found, should he want it.

Harbours a desire to coach the Dees.......one day.

He was doing some coaching work at the Doggies a few years ago I think! Goal kicking maybe?

It would be good to see him involved around the club again.

I love David. I love that he has dealt with his addiction and shares his story with so many. It is a credit to his strength of character that he has hit rock bottom and come out the other end. sometimes it is the challenges of life and our frailties that truely become the message to be shared for others to learn. My hat dips to the big man and think there but for the grace of god go I. Hope Melbourne offer him a mentoring role to one of young fellas.

Like others in this thread, I still wear my signed #5 guernsey to the footy.

The three next-to-last games he played before knee injury number 1 - kicking 9.0 at the SCG, and then the two swashbuckling finals - are three of my all-time favourite MFC memories, and I still regularly watch the Nureyev passage of play. I love it how you can hear the crowd gasp at the pirouette, and then the sound comes to a crescendo as the pin-point pass makes it's way towards Garry's chest.

How I long to experience that kind of joy at the footy again.. to see some real magic in September!

I was at the G for the 1994 qualifying final against carlton. The ox made peter dean look like a hack. And what made the day complete was sitting with 6 carlton fans,

two of which were my old man and my brother. Its still my favourite melbourne game to date.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
