Forget the AFLX, this is a real news story.

Well done to Nev, Matthew Whelan and the club.

    Matty Whelan was another courageous player much like Nev that I admired on the feild, who also seems to work away quietly doing his thing behind the scenes at the club without alot of public reconition.  I get a sense that he has now been a great influence on several generations of indigenous players at the MFC  (and probably non indigionous as well).  First with Flash in his playing days and now with Nev and others as well.  It's fantastic when past players can return to the fold and make such positive contributions back into the club.

    What a great and much deserved honour to bestow upon Nev.  I'm guessing there wouldn't be many MFC players who have played a similar number of games to have received life membership in their playing days.

    Such a good role model and story of perseverance, courage and humility.  A fan favorite by many accounts for good reason and I'm guessing that making presenting him with life membership will be well supported by all the MFC faithful.

    Well earned recognition for Nev to be awarded life membership.

    He's not given his due kudos by the rest of the competition, but Dees members know his true value.

    One of the best role models this club has had in a very long time, up there with big Jim!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
