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.

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

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
