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.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?
