This is probably a forlorn request however I will ask anyway.

The Demons have had 30 coaches since 1897 and I have images for all bar the first two.

Alex E 'Joker' Hall who coached from 1907 to 1909 and again from 1912 to 1913.

Prior to that he played 20 games between 1898 and 1905. 19 with Essendon and 1 with St Kilda. He also coached St Kilda in 1906, Richmond in 1910 and Hawthorn in 1925.

Eddie Drohan coached us in 1910. Prior to that he played 75 games with Fitzroy between 1898-1902 and 96 games with Collingwood between 1903-08.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Only 30? The way we go through coaches I thought it would have been more than that.

    Sorry - I can't help with the photos.

    G'day Smithy.

    Hope all's well up there on the Coast.

    Next time you're in Melbourne, why not try the MCG tour. I did it about a year ago with the grandkids and there are pictures in every nook and cranny.

    I think one of the problems these days is that people just aren't interested in our history any more.

    The other resource to try is DemonWiki - it's one of the sites listed on our links section and run by Supermercado.

    Thanks Jack, all well up here, no games in Queensland 2014 unfortunately for us, but we've had a good run in recent years.

    I've checked all footy sites known to man on the internet incl Demonwicki with no luck.

    May have to resort to newspaper archives or the MCG museum if they allow photography.

    • 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.
