Now didn't Healy have a son that was meant to be "the best of the lot" according to Schwarz..?

No?

I recall hearing that somewhere, but I've no idea of the kid's age.

I remember hearing the same from someone else, seems to have disappeared off the radar.

    Maybe not such a bad thing if he is a F/S chance.

    Exciting. Brett Lovett was an absolute star - one of the most underrated players of the time - remember him playing in Victorian team with Lyon. Rarely beaten and rarely wasted a possie across half back - gun.

    Brett Lovett - one of my all time favourites and very under- rated. Hope his son has inherited his good decision making, coolness under pressure and ability to find space. Didn't he come to the Dees from the Hawks?

    My favourite demon ever (apologies to Robbie)

    I see he has played the one TAC and impressed. I wonder thats due to school commitments or maybe injury?

    Looks fairly solid already!

    I've heard he's been excelling for Peninsula.

    Talk about red and blue bloodlines, Garry Lyon is Jake's uncle.

    When's he eligible? next year?

    Interesting to see Peninsula turning out some decent players. First Lachie Whitfield and now Lovett. I think the last AFL player they had was Stewie Lowe.

    Yep, he's one for 2015.

    Hopefully he gets more game time for the Stingray's once his school commitments have been completed.

    Did Nathan Jones go to Peninsula? David Hille was also definitely a Peninsula boy.

    awesome.

    would love to build a father-son dynasty like the cats.

    That would be good, but a premiership dynasty, with or without F/S, would be far better

    if hes anything like his old man...

    one of the most underrated players of all time, just a smooth mover and much like Robert Harvey he was almost untackle-able.

    If my memory serves me correctly Brett may have even finished top 4 in the Brownlow one season?

    Absolute gun.

    One of my all time favorites - Brett was as slow as treacle - but was courageous, strong overhead for his size, great decision maker and his number one feature - never ever lost his feet.

    His father was a brick outhouse. legs like tree trunks.

    Outstanding! Wonder if Roos has seen him play. I'm sure Viney will be all over it.

    When did the club get Billy in last year to train with us? Will they do the same with Jake over this preseason?

    I’m sure Melbourne would have had people watching Jake for a while now. Apparently did quite well playing school footy for Peninsula and has looked relatively comfortable in his few TAC appearances for Dandenong.

    Was good for the Stingrays last weekend (19 touches off the bench) and looks very solid in the contest. Neat left foot kick (8 of 9 kicks were effective). Followed up the contests well too. Looks a very good inside mid prospect at this stage, and he’ll have a chance to help Dandenong into another final on Saturday.

    Yep, Brett was slow like Sam Mitchell is slow. One of the best readers and users of the ball I've ever season. The people that matter have a very high opinion of Jake's future.

    anyone remember the 1994 final against and Carlton when we shocked everyone and won. from memory Brett played on Greg Williams in the centre and was BOG. very skilful footballer by hand and foot. often played on bigger guys down back as he was so good one on one.

    Great comparison Webber.

    Will never forget it.

    The Ox's BOG n 4 goal game, one of which was that 'Blind Turn'.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
