    As the Dad of a current MFC player, it would be great to hear a critical analysis of his own son. Such as in what he thinks he needs to work on, is he developing at a reasonable rate, is he glad he got his Mums dark hair and olive complexion as opposed to his old mans ranga hair and beetroot complexion..

    Saw him commenting on the Demonland instagram this morning - great to see a past player contributing.

    Steven Stretch looked good when running down the wing and many times kicked long goals receiving a handpass and was oh so accurate.  Good  hands and would take a clean overhead mark with ease . He didn't play tough but was a tough enough and skilfull . 

    A game against Collingwood before the start of the bounce it might have been a final I am not sure He was hit on the nose clenched fist. Cannot remember the name of the thug Coll/wood  player.Stretch was knocked down bleeding profusely taken off and was bandaged up quickly. Start of a melee. Steven came back  and played the game out as he was one of our best players that day. Helped win the game. Don't remember the year, maybe the late 80s.

    I was sitting on the boundary near the wing for the Collingwood mark, It was magnificent! We fell to bits after the mark & Collingwood ran away, but it was memorable.

    I was a huge Steven Stretch fan growing up. Along with Brett Lovett and Garry Lyon I rated him as one of the three most skilful players to grace the MCG in red and blue during that halcyon Northey era. He had the most exquisite kicking skills, with a technique that more than a few of our current crop of young midfielders could learn from. At full tilt, left or right foot, Stretcher could dart a low trajectory pass onto the chest of a moving player anywhere up to 55m away. I used to imagine I was him in after school street footy scraps with the boys next door!

    Looking forward to the interview.

    Fixed

    Can you ask Steven where he thinks Billy's best position is? Cheers

    Does SS think our play could be improved if some of our players were sporting mullets, preferably permed. I feel it would add a tremendous amount of derring-do to our play.

    I ventured out to the Western oval in 1988 to see the dees take on the doggies. Stretch took an absolutely amazing hanger on the outer wing, right where I was on the other side of the fence. Gees he got up high.

    I just let out a completely uncontrolled "Fxxx me..." One of those things you never forget. Poetry and power.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
