    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.

    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!

    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

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
