No I haven't to be honest, living in Qld for the past 28 years hasn't helped I guess.

Perhaps you could give me several examples from 'half' the ex non-indigenous Demon players you refer to ?

Last time I saw Neita bouncing down Collins st he was puddly, Hoppy, Mitch Clark, Wheata, Jacko. Yet wandered past Yz on Friday after work and fit as a fiddle, Stinga is ripped still, "indigenous" or no some like a feed more than others.

    Ahhhhh HA HA HA HA!

    Essendon are that desperate to find a way to quickly remove James Hird from the contest, of course they bring in Matthew Whelan.

    The board is just playing the tape of the hit, over and over, and hoping now everything will be ok.

    the board, & the commission

    You are wrong about Clark.

    The others I will take your word for it.

    Watching TJ slot that goal after Matty Whelan ko-ed the cheat reminded me how enjoyable it was to watch Demons during the period from about 2000 to 2006 (except 2003).

    TJ had class. In spades.

    Anyone know what he's up to these days?

    Yep. I would expect it's pretty common for blokes who are used to eating like an athlete to ditch the exercise but maintain the diet.

    Sorry mate but his son is no older than 6.

    Has the same last name & at the same club, maybe it's not his son sorry folks.

    hopefully he does this again while hes there

    And unfortunately after that hit Hird dusted himself off, slowly got back into the match and pretty much won it for them

    As an footy supporter I always enjoyed watching Buckley, Voss and Hird play and the debate as to who was the best. Whatever we think of him now he was an out and out champion of that club. It is a shame his off-field activities have so irretrievably tarnished his own legacy

    Sorry. Confused as the point you are making here?

    Read the thread and the point will be crystal clear.

    Exactly the way I feel too.

    Hird was a brilliant footballer, but even then he went off piste regularly - remember when he called out an umpire as biased?

    Sadly, it seems increasingly likely that Charters and his drugs played a big part in him coming back from a navicular injury.

    This just makes me sad.

    Ditto, but a man's got to make a living.

    Personally I'd rather scrub toilets than set foot in that place.

    • 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.
