Great story telling by Max. 

Its good to hear some of the fun times away from the Club.  And, pleased that Mclardy gets a gig at our informal 'events'.

"Happy" by Pharrell Williams

 

Easy to see why Neale would choose that song. 

How Happy would he be for us to win the silverware?

I feel kind of desperate to win it very very soon to share it with some really special Demon people, while they are still with us:  Neale Daniher, Ronald Dale Barassi and the remaining 1964 Premiership Team.

But tomorrow, hope the team heed Neale's words:  "Don't give up, don't give in, give it all you've got".

    I was able to read it by tapping on the image in Demonland's post, on my phone.  For some reason that seems to get around the paywall.  But it doesn't work from my laptop.

    The general gist of the article was that last summer some players, some ex board members and guests went for a golf game (hosted by the club) to the Mornington Peninsula.  Trengove, Watts and Gawn went to the Sorrento Hotel and (unintentionally, ho, ho) had quite a few drinks.  When they went back to their accommodation in the wee hours of the morning, they found Don Mclardy and Neale Daniher sitting around a campfire, blaring out music not caring about the noise nor who they disturbed.  The three players joined them and Watts told stories and they all selected music.  There they stayed most of the night.  Max says the only song he remembers is the one Daniher chose:  Happy.  Max thinks of Neale Daniher as a very special man. 

    I'm sure there would be a ringing endorsement of Neale being a special man.

    Indeed.  The link worked for me and without taking anything away from LH, I think he really just summarised the highlight.  It was quite a well constructed rambling from Max, in which he also goes over in his own way the now fairly well trodden story and widely acknowledged admiration for Neale and the life lessons that can be taken from his battle with MND and the positive way he carries himself.

    Also touches on the Melb Vs Pie Queens birthday tradition and the meaning of that as a player as well as Rd 23 last year and it's apparent thay remains a motivator for the playing group.

    • 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.

      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?
