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.

He actually says he played for St Kilda first....

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.

Don’t remember too much about him as a player, but I know that as a coach, he is second to no man in the “what a f’n stupid question” staredown stakes in press conferences, especially when they’ve just lost. Cracks me up every time.

Where did Paul end up?   Is he still in Melbourne town?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
