Bluey was a 'great' of the Melbourne Football Club during it's greatest era.  I'll always have fond memories of him speeding up and down the wing at the 'G', and delivering the ball with precision to our forwards.  A sad loss. RIP Bluey.

    Bad day today, a MFC great has passed away. I knew him well, as well as a great  player he was a great guy. Just a few months ago we were discussing the current team and we thought 2019 might be the year. Sadly No! Miss you mate.

    I'm sorry for the loss of your dear friend, Mr Old.

    I did not see him play, but my father spoke very highly of Bluey as a player. Was one of his favorites from that very successful era. I hope they catch up for a beer beyond the pearly gates.

    Another premiership player has departed us.

    If we're not careful, we may just end up having no surviving premiership players. Hurry the [censored] up Melbourne.

    Very sad news RIP.... I was born in 64 so never witnessed the greats of our golden era & sadly our surviving premiership players are getting smaller in numbers  each year!

    My favourite player as a kid . 

    I remember stomping both feet on the floorboards of the Grey-Smith Stand after each Bluey goal .

    Bit disappointed with the minimal reporting in the morning papers . The old HUN would have had a full page spread.

    None of the TV ? or radio ? programs mentioned a word 

    i was very disappointed ? 

    i suppose Craig Hutchison has never heard of “ Bluey”

    Mind boggling to think that, when he was part of the 1961 team to lose the Preliminary final to Footscray, he missed what would have been his 8th grand final in a row.

    Vale Bluey. Condolences to the family.

    Channel 9 had a really good piece on their Monday news program SWYL.

    I don't want to start a new thread, and he wasn't a Demon, but vale also to Graham "Polly" Farmer. A great player for Geelong, and a little after Bluey's time. Two greats (and not using that word lightly) gone in one week.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
