Earlier this week a Facebook post was shared around about a kid named Lachy who'd injured his neck playing for Seaford:

Quote

Hi all,
I'm not sure if your aware but I coach Seaford junior U/12's and on Sunday one of my players Lachy was injured badly and taken off in an ambulance.
He is currently home with a neck brace for the next week, he has to go to the royal children's to see a specialist to asses the damage to his neck, it's not broken but he is in pain with either muscle damage or ligament damage.
Lachy loves the footy club and loves training and playing, he is a lovely boy and is always happy and smiling all the time.
He lives and breathes for his footy and his beloved AFL side the Melbourne Demons.
It would really cheer him up if one of his Demon players could send him a get well, so I'm asking you all to share if this post can reach one of them from the club
Cheers

When I saw this, I sent the link on to the club page, while a number of others contacted players or their family members directly.  I got a reply today from the club saying that they had looked after young Lachy, so I went and had another look at the original thread. 

No less than ten players took the time to get in touch and have a chat.  Cam Pedersen got on the thread and asked for a mailing address so he could organise some signed merchandise. 

How awesome is this club?

    That's a really awesome effort. I think a few clubs do this and it's great to see them giving back like this.

    How good is that. And it's not isolated. Tracca well known for taking time away from the club to deal with kids on his own.

      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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
