We walked past it about 2 bays over as we were leaving. Heard a massive roar and looked over to see what was happening - The Wiz once again putting on a show. I had to explain to my 5yo who Jeff Farmer was, gonna rip out the Dynamic Demons 2000 video for him to educate himself.

Saw him many times as an 22yo new Demons member. He deserves it all. He lifted when Lyon was on the field and did some things that are brilliant.

Love him, get him on board

That great mark on Garry Lyon's crook back is one of my first Melbourne memories. I have some fleeting memories of footy games from before then, but this is the only one I can pinpoint the game it happened. I watched it with my grandpa at the G from behind/right of that mark.

It was a ripper, and so was he. Must admit I grew to hate him while he was at the dockers, but that was because he was ours, and he always turned it on against us!

I just hope he is on Kobe's ear telling him to pick the Dee's when the time comes for father son nomination. We need a second coming of the wiz (and not a second purple Jesus).

Glad Jeff's heart still beats true for the red and the blue.

 

In 2000 I took my mate to Telstra Dome when Melbourne played Freo. Farmer was amazing, my mate who wasn't a huge footy fan, still talks about that day!

I think it’s pretty clear where father son loyalty will be placed.

If he’s in Melbourne now, does anyone know where his young bloke is playing? He was with the Mandurah Mustangs.... assuming he’s followed Dad to Melbs?

Hopefully he can do an Open Mike or, even better, a Demonland podcast... would love to hear some of the stories and his thoughts on the club.

The boys on the Deebrief podcast did an interview with the Wiz last night. Was a great listen! Talked about his love for the club, his kids and that famous celebration!

Suggest you all get on your favourite podcast app prontissimo and check it out. It was excellent!

Just finished listened to it right now, wow!! How good is it to hear players like Jeff be so invested in the Dees still.

Jeffy has hope Kobe is going to be good enough and hopefully picked up by the Dees.


Will never understand why the Wiz changed from #33 to #8 after the 2000 season, where he produced one of the greatest seasons you will ever see from a forward pocket.

He lost all his powers when he ditched the 33.

As a tribute to a family member, from memory

Mate! It was a ripper wasn't it! Best interview I've heard for ages. Aside from DL ones of course!

Absolutely loved it how when asked 'Melbourne or Freo?' he said Melbourne without missing a beat!

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
