RIP Tommy.

 

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.

Had the same pleasure about 15 years ago... So fit and trained us bloody hard that night.

RIP Tommy


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.

An absolutely amazing trainer and a purist of the game.

Footy was better for you Tommy.

Kick goals at your new home

 

Very sad time for the football world, great man who gave the game alot.

Also a great ambassador for drinking tea. Tomorrow's cup is for you Tom.

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"

RIP Tommy

Great guy of the game and an inspiring figure to all with his work ethic in all facets of life


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

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
