    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
