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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
