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.

    Peter Giles and Neville Bruns say hi.

    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.

    • 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.
