Is that Rodney on the right?

 

How old is Wiz' son? And what near term father sons do we have in the next couple of years? Whatever happened to Jake Lovett?

His 2000 season was phenomenal, 76 goals for a small forward. One game at Docklands against either Freo or WCE he kicked 7 or 8 goals including one off the ground from about 40 metres out in the pocket

Not to mention his 9 2nd half goals against the Pies after being dragged. 

This is the game I remember. Shocking first half and then just absolutely magical. The Wiz; he'd have to give it a shake for best small forward of all time.

Yeah. There doesn't get much more mfc royalty in our premiership drought than Farmer, Neitz and Grinter.

They enjoyed a beer too for all those fretting about Spencer and co.


We could use the Wiz right now.

He is running around in the Casey Development team. Played on Saturday.

What era does Hodge play in?

Farmer, Neita and Balls (your examples) are from a different era.

Hodge was suspended by his club for drink driving, but I guess you knew that. 

But I digress off topic

Hodge is the greatest captain of the modern era. He was suspended by the club by nessecity. Loves a beer but that is politically incorrect these days.

i don't condone drink driving but Hodge is a massive drinker and has captained the best team in the last decade. Players line up to stick by him because they respect him and they've all had a few beers with him.

A particular part of his work that I liked was that in clutch games (esp finals) he was often up and about early when the game was there to be won, hitting the scoreboard in his exciting way. 

Yep, he'd cut loose and just light us up.
Here's a great interview from Dee TV with Robbo.

Here was our WIZARD … the magic of Jeff Farmer 🧙🏽 

 

Behind only Robbie as my favourite all-time Dee to watch live. 

His 9 goal half against the filth, his Waverley goal, his mark on Garry's head. I saw them all live and so much more. 

The true 'Wiz' of the AFL. What a player!

I was at the MCG Collingwood game.

9.1 goals.

WOW!

I too was at the Collingwood game. What was it like 1 kick to half time? Marked everything after that.

There's been a lot of brilliant small forwards in this game but he was a special player.

Ahh had some great memories from those video highlights...

Jeff "The Wizard" Farmer was probably one of the most exciting players to ever play at the Demons.

I remember people WANTING to go to the footy to see him play for the Demons. The excitement when Jeff Farmer had the ball in the forward line was far better than even anything Charlie Cameron has produced for the Brisbane Lions.

Jeff Farmer was probably one of the best forward pockets of his time.

It was such a travesty when he left to go to Fremantle.

I still reckon if we had kept him we could of won a Premiership in the early 2000's. 

Imagine if we had both Jeff Farmer and Aaron Davey in the same team!

I'm disappointed that this thread wasn't rebooted as to a board suggestion, and then I could my Demonstone-approved line that you're all now reaching for wizzie-straws.

Maybe the media department can put something out like “there’s only one Wizard” or “we had the real wizard” or “Anything you can do he did better” you get what I mean and just show off his highlights reels all day especially when the hawks do for their phony.  The Wiz is still the best. I don’t even have to say his name, you just know. 😏

Had some real similarities to the day Jakovich ran amok at Vic Park, benched early came back on and kicked 7.

Yep, 9 goals in 40 minutes. And kicked 7 straight the following week against the Hawks at the G

Still can't believe he kicked 7 or more 5 times that year, culminating with the 8 against North in the prelim. Such a fun season watching us in 2000!

https://www.afl.com.au/news/1217662/eddie-betts-luke-breust-and-ranking-the-top-10-small-forwards

How on earth can Aaron Davey not make this list? Basically invented the defensive, high pressure small forward role in his debut year of 2004 (another fun year to watch @layzie). I seem to recall Rioli admitted at one point in his career that he was influenced by the Flash

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
