    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.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
