Hi all! 

In celebration of the upcoming Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round,  I've put together a clip highlighting one of the greatest Demon performances of all time: Jeff Farmer's nine second half goals against the Pies!

Was anyone at the MCG that day?

Yep, behind the goals at the Punt Road end, Wiz was having a poor game, Daniher dragged him (back when being benched actually meant something).

Ben Beams broke his arm at the start of the 3rd quarter, the Wiz went back on and proceeded to rip Collingwood apart. 9 goals in a half, don't see that too often and his shot for his 10th only just went wide.

One of the greatest days I've had at the footy, my Pies supporting mate on the day not so much....

Wasn't even 9 goals in a half- his first goal came almost halfway through the third!

Freak.

 

(Or, dare I say, wizard)

I was also behind the Coll cheer squad at the punt road end.

So satisfying. When Robbo went up the speccy and Jeff went on top of him - it was beautiful.

Yes, was there. For years I could not believe what he had done, starting in the third quarter. Farmer was hailed as the 'Wizard' by Gary Lyon and how correct was that description? We saw it in so many things he had done in the game. Running to position, taking the speccy, providing a target - it was all there that day. This video should be shown to the current talent at the Club, it demonstrates that if you have the desire, anything can be done. Farmer made it look easy that day - and in reality, most of it was - a thinking footballer who optimised the rest of the team. The Filth were filthy once shat upon.

8 goals in a  Prelim.  Thats rare air.  What a player he was.  

Too bad he went to Freo.

Forget how good they were back then, team of guns and gun team. Yze's kick to Jeffrey, just pin point. White domination. Crazy.

Stephen Powell was great too with 4 goals in that game.

How good is Ox's 1% shepherd/bump for his 8th... It's team football that gets you to 140's with regular aplomb.

Didn't the Wizard back up the next week with a bag of 7 against Hawthorn as we totally rained on the parade for Salmon's 300th? Amazing player, on his day was unstoppable.

Fixed this for you. He was kicking them from everywhere in 2000, I remember games at Docklands against WCE and Freo where he kicked 7 or 8 each including one off the ground from about 35-40 out near the boundary.

His first half was absolutely diabolical too, he only got back in the third quarter because Ben Beams broke his wrist or arm. Then probably the wildest 30 odd minutes of individual football I've ever seen. The only regret was that he had an easy shot for a 10th and missed

Absolutely brilliant. 

I too was Punt rd behind the goals. Won’t forget the excitement and anticipation as soon as he started a lead after about his 5th. 

I wonder what sort of car he denied Robbo.

I can still see in my mind that off the ground from 35 out. He made it look so easy but I remember thinking had he missed that he probably would have been dragged!

It all went his way that year..

certainly picked his pocket

I was playing footy that day, remember hearing the result and seeing the highlights in the club rooms, it’s a day/moment I’ll never forget. I still don’t think Farmer gets the credit league wide that he deserves, freak of a player.

I was there.

At half time I literally said to bloke sitting next to me (he could have been my sister, can’t remember). “We need the Wiz to kick 10 second half goals”

I promise you.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
