The 2 that I can remember are Stan Alves and Greg Wells. Spalding was a good player as well.

    Michael Byrne,  a ruckman who was off-loaded to Hawthorn and won a premiership with them in the mid-80's

    A fit Scully would be great now, but I don't blame him for leaving.

    Martin & Thompson are the two that I really regretted seeing leave.

    If we had Dunn and Howe right now we'd be serious contenders for the worst injury list. Scully would be the cherry.

    I can live with scully leaving because it was pure money but I don't know why for the life of me we traded stef martin? He was always going to become elite. He was elite when given opportunity to ruck solo. He should have been prioritised over jolly/jamar or anyone else that was the reason we traded him out.

    Mitch Clark may or may not have made a pass at Stef's girlfriend. After that point, it may or may not have mattered. Stef wanted out, and we were doing anything we could to keep Mitch happy.

    And kicked eight the week we sold him to the Hawks, while on the same day the Dees had five between 22 players.

    Martin Pike is definitely the most successful ex-Demon, but nobody would have seen four flags coming after his time with us and Fitzroy.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
