Would love to see him mentor Watts.

'Cause the Ox was a great sweeping back line player???

Pretty moving article by the Ox. glad he is back at the club and I hope they open the doors up for him more oftern! Glad he has turned his life around too.

Ps Great to see he doesn't beat around the bush still and says it like he see's it lol

Yes on all counts. I hope the club continues to takes steps to build on the history and legacies left by past players. Can't help but feel we are lagging significantly on this front. We have a great history & tradition which needs to be understood & recognised by all - indeed, they should be excited by it.

Welcome back Ox, don't be a stranger.

Quite apart from all his punting etc... he is a small step below Robbie Flower as my favourite player of all time. He had it all. Superstar.

Unfortunately, his kind of intuitive, mercurial brilliance cannot always be taught or coached. Some like the Red Fox Norm Smith, Leigh Matthews, even Robert Walls could. But the mercurial players like Skilton, Carey, Bartlett, Ablett could not. I don't reckon Schwartz has the attention to detail needed for coaching. And his addictive personality could mean coaching senss him nuts.

But to come alongside Dawes, Clark, Hogan etc... in some one-on-one coaching advice - YES PLEASE!!!

 

Apart from the '87 prelim never felt pain like ox doing those 3 knees.He was on the verge for sure.What could have been.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
