    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.

    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

    • 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.
