Sad news that four times premiership player, and member of our 150 Heroes, Geoff Case has passed away.  

Here's hoping the boys do him proud tonight!

I vaguely remember him as ?HBF back in the glory days. 

I presume he had retired shortly before you started Barrie.

Mono, I believe Case retired in Vagg's first year -- 1962.  So, presumably may have played together for a few games, although not really sure...

Enjoyed watching him play often.  Yes SWYL, one of our greats. 

If only some of today’s players could have the same credentials 

RIP Demon

Steady as a rock on the half back flank. Mr Relliability. Came to Melbourne via the thirds with Ron Barassi, and Bluey Adams. Donny Williams too I think. Bob Johnson as well?

RIP Geoff.

Played in a variety of positions. However, if you were able to be a regular in those great premiership teams in the late 50s early 60s, it meant you were a damn good player. 

Owned or managed a news agency in Malvern Road, East Malvern in the 1960s.

Does anyone on here know why he retired so young at 26

Lured to the country on big £’s?

Nope, not the buck:  some chronic leg injury...

My Dad was a big fan of Geoff’s

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
