    Rob Hickmott: played 2 games for the Dee's. I must confess I cannot remember them. But good luck to him and well done on the win today.

    Pretty sure it was discussed at length when he won his previous Melbourne Cup

    Can't remember the Saints game. Pretty sure I was at G for the 127 point loss to North. 

    Outer was being demolished. 

    Was in the MFC rooms after the game. Swoop went ballistic - sent Wight and Viney off to lead player discussion and come back and report to him.

    Think I recall the Saints game as well. Wet day. Muddy ground. Not out of it at 3/4 time but Winmar tore us up.  

    Torps in driving rain from 55, 60 then 65 to sink us.

    Nothing changed in 26 years.

    He and Gudinski...had to have $20 each way...I'm a happy once a year punter (truth be known, I only found out about those connections after the race).

    One for the battlers.

    Any Billionaire can win the Cup,unless he is Middle Eastern, which makes it a great leveller.

    Speaking of levellers,

    I still think it is ridiculous to knock down the 96 year old grandstand at Flemington just to build a concrete one, even though Gina Rhinehart took a tumble down the stairs yesterday ,the aftershocks being felt in China and New York.

    Nick Williams also deserves credit for falling over and ruining his over-loaded knee, thus forcing his father to battle his hatred of people to accept the Cup in what must be a very boring day for him.He seemed to enjoy the press conference and questioning as much as Mal Meninga did in his political career.

    Robert Hickmott deserves congratulations for his training effort.LLoyd has been training him for years and he has rarely missed a session.

    After seeing the photo posted above I am pleased he chose an honest job and didn't opt for male modelling.

    Poor bugger.

    His only 2 games were probably our two worst performances of 1990.

    Me too although I am reliably told that there are major defects in the stand and it is dangerous without a few hundred thousand spent each year to keep it safe.......

    Robert Hickmott has now trained as many Melbourne Cup winners as he played games for the Demons.

    A stunning achievement.

    That explains why their drinks and food prices are the most expensive of any race track in Victoria.

    God help us after the renos have been done.  Will have to go back to the days of smuggling my drinks in...

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
