Kyle Cheney still playing the game ...must be nearly 10 years is it?

Interesting career. In 2016 he played 24 games with the Crows - double his previous best season tally - but then got injured, and hasn't played sighted at AFL-level since.

Till this week! He played v. the Hawks.

I reckon he's been under-rated.

Hawthorn gave him the job on Buddy once! He didn't do a bad job.


I must respond

The question is a tautology

Redheads ARE the best players for Melbourne 

and the best redhead 

will be Clayton Oliver

That's Stuart Spencer. Not surprised that bandwagon fans haven't heard of him. Was clearly a dud...

Yeah, maybe I am an old bugger but my levels of support involve learning about the history of our team. I guess that sort of interest is what separates us diehard Demons from the fairweather fans.

A strange world where you're considered a bandwagon jumper for not having supported your team before the time of your birth. I suppose when I die, I'll get accused of jumping off. I also have no idea how you could bring yourself to accuse anyone still supporting our club after the past decade of being a fair-weather fan.  

Col Sylvia was a red head, not sure he qualifies.

Unless I'm missing some obtuse joke, classifying Sylvia as a red head is a definite stretch of the definition.

Colin Sylvia and Matthew Bate
One thing that all redheads from strawberry blonde to auburn know is that denial is futile, and resistance can be but temporary.  However, this has not stopped two recent characters of the Club from trying to deny their proud inheritance.  In Dermott Brereton style, the exuberant Colin Sylvia has taken the bleached path, while Matthew Bate headed in the opposite direction and briefly liaised with a darker side. 

No joke Nash.

Can't decide whether it's easier to classify players as good/not good than it is to decide whether they are rangas/not rangas.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
