Just watched the biggest re-write of footy history: Luke Beveridge on that MLC Journey with the Game segment. He states he began his playing career at St KIlda. News to me, I could have sworn there was a player called Luke Beveridge who ran around in Demon colours in the Northey days. Can't say he ever impressed me all that much as a player...

    Maybe he started at St Kilda in the under 19's or reserves, but debuted in 1989 for the MFC against Carlton in a 6 point win.

    He kicked 27 goals for us in 1991 in his best year for us.

    He played under 19s for us in 1988.  I remember him playing in the reserves that year a few games wearing number 55.   I remember because he took one of the best marks I've seen in a reserves game at the G - absolute screamer.

    Think you're getting a bit upset over nothing. He talks about his first experience being in the crowd at Linton St as an eight year old watching Trevor Barker, then when he was traded to St Kilda, Barker was one of the coaches. 

    Being an East Bentleigh boy, he was zoned to us, but like many locals, barracked for St Kilda. In '89, he won the reserve's b and f and best first year player in the seniors.

    Listen to the first couple of lines again. Very carefully. Talks about his playing days for St Kilda coming full circle. Supporter, plays for Melbourne, then Footscray,  then back to St Kilda where his interest in coaching begins.

    Lovely guy is Luke. Some of his family are still Melbourne as he started with us. Then went to the Bulldogs and on to St Kilda. And yep, his father John was St Kilda's recruiting manager for many years.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
