That is unequivocally good news.

A true Demon who stood by us in tough times.

Had his jaw broken behind play by the thug Mathews.

A loyal servant of the club as they say and to this day I see him at every MCG game.

This can only be good for us.

I was about 20 metres away from that incident pit. It was one of Mathews greatest [censored] acts. A dead set king hit.

Steven is a great guy and a family friend. As a kid he used to get me into the rooms at the MCG after games to meet the team. He also got my a footy signed by the entire 1994 team. He really loves the Dees and to this day attends every match and keeps in contact with those inside the club.

His appointment can only be a good thing for us. Good luck to him with the new position! Go Dees!

Cannot surely be bad for the MFC though his director's rôle could require him to declare conflicts of intrest in matters relating to MFC. At very least he should ensure that we are not screwed at any stage.

Why was this incident just glossed over? I was there that day. As far as I'm concerned Leigh Matthews is a thug, not any different from the drunken thugs who punch out night club patrons. For those of you who think Jeff Garlett committed a great crime by not informing the MFC of his full history just keep in mind his so-called sin was a sin of omission, not the cold-blooded sin of thuggery, or let's just call it what is really is, ASSAULT. Yet in AFL folklore Leigh Matthews is a heroe. Give me a friggin break!!!

The Giles incident happened in front of me as a kid.

Have detested LM ever since. Is a sign of the times when a thug like that is in demand as a commentator!

IIRC, Steve is also the answer to a truly trivial piece of trivia, namely: "who was the 1st Little League participant to play VFL seniors?"

I was behind the goals with my Steven Smith duffel coat on.

Had to look past the goal umpire ,Matthews and Smith to see the play.

Might've been 25m.

As you said, dead set king hit.

Couldn't believe the goal ump "didn't see it".

I think lovely Leigh got about three of our guys over the years with king hits behind the play, and no official ever saw anything as usual. And we never laid a glove on him as I remember things.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
