    I remember he took a training session when I was playing with Yarrawonga back in 08. His knowledge of the game was quite unbelievable.

    A ferocious trainer aswell.

    RIP Tom Hafey.

    The world will certainly be a worse place without him.

    I hope the dees help the tigers really celebrate his life and amazing contribution to football this weekend.

    My mate just posted this reminiscence he had about Hafey on Facey, sums him up i feel:

    Sad news about the passing of Tom Hafey. As an 8 yr old I didn't believe my cousin that he lived near their house and that he'd actually been around there and met him. So on the push bikes we went and rocked up to this modest house in Highton.
    Tom Hafey answered the door and invited us in for a lemonade and a choc chip cookie. We sat with him and his wife on the couch and he talked about the Cats side,(who he coached at the time). A humble and kind fella who gave an awe struck boy the time of day. RIP.

    Highly respected by all in my experience. A sad day for the "AFL family"

    Champion bloke, was lucky enough to talk to him on a couple of occasions, taken way to early.

    I met Tommy a couple of times at country footy functions. He was the ultimate straight shooter. If you could run through a brick wall you would just about meet his training standards!

    Used to see Tommy down at St Kilda beach when I went for a run, he would always stop and have a chat one of the nicest people you could meet. He used to have a swim after his exercises every day irrespective of the weather he was fanatical about fitness.

    Sorry to hear this RIP Tom.

    RIP Tommy. Great bloke. Heard him speak to my son's school a year or two ago. None of the kids knew who he was before that, but they were all impressed. He had a knack of being able to connect with people, and he loved going to talk to schools. Sadly missed.

    Was lucky enough to have the same. Impressed he tried hard to remember everyones name at the session, what a great thrill it was to train under Tommy for a night and then have him speak to us as a group afterwards.

    RIP Tommy

    • 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.
