What's with the video of him on our site? Why are we now having some form of official connection with him?

It's odd but I like it, the more respected people connected to the club in some official manner the better I say, could this be Roosy's doing?

    no idea, but i really liked the video of the Past players function http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2013-09-27/past-players-function

    Interesting video. Some guys are easy to identify but scratching my head about most. After pausing on one shot I think I worked out one guy was Tingay and he looks like he could play tomorrow. Is it Wheater in brown standing with his arms folded?

    I think Roosy's had a word...said that now Mike has stepped back from his media stuff a bit it's time to fly the flag some.

    I don't think it'd be at Roosy's behest.

    But I do think Sheahan has decided it's time to have a more active role in helping the club he supports.

    Same with many others over the last 12 months who aren't as visible, it would seem.

    Sheahan was nowhere to be seen when Schwab and Connolly were around. Was one of the first to suggest Roos was a chance and then asked the questions that got Brock to public ally don us in for tanking and an investigation that saw McLardy, Schwab and Connolly.

    end result Roos and all of a sudden even Denim has nothing but good things to say about us.

    I suspect it's more Mike getting back on the bandwagon. I get the feeling he misses the lime light since he's stepped down from full time herald sun hence why he still does open mike, OTC and the top 50 and often tries to provoke headlines.

    But even if he's jumping on it's still a positive sign.

    He's a guy who for the last decade at least he placed his professional career ahead of his personal team support which is actually quite admirable. Mark Robinson could take note.

    Only as a ventriloquist's doll with someone who can actually speak English pulling the strings.

    Mike Sheehan doesn't barrack for Melbourne he barracks for no one and if anyone it's footscray

    Oh, ok, then...

    Not that it matters a great deal but he is an MFC supporter.

    He would take pride in the fact you have no idea.

  • Quote

    MS is a paid up member of the MFC and has been a supporter for many years! No disrespect please to the "iron mike"!

    Great clip of the past players. Guy Rigoni certainly looks like he'd struggle to get his old jumper on again!

  • Quote

    So is he our new poster boy now?

    I like it - he has a bit of class about him.

    Anyone know if he has a legit position now or is it just casual media stuff for his mate Roos?

    Ted Carroll is still hanging around the Past Players as is Bryan Kenneally.

    When I think of the free beers these guys must have drunk-oh the humanity.

    I was coached by both of them.

    Kenneally was a Champ backman from the 60s-probably dour and strong.

    Carroll was a Collingwood reject who only played a handful for Melbourne but is the Past Players Pres I think.

    They never taught me the art of sniffing out free beers-I learnt that for myself.

    • 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.
