Left the Demons in 1990, after playing in 2 games for 2 wins.  The last of those was against the Eagles at Subiaco, round 8, 1989.  We overcame a 14 point deficit at 3/4 time to win by 2 points.  Kavanagh kicked a goal.

    Brent Grgic - a real enigma, naturally talented but missing in action.

    Jordon Gysberts  - great talent with poor attitude and application.

    Luke Molan - career nevereventuated.

    Dead set one of my all time favorite Dees.

    Gave us fantastic value at C.H.B after crossing from Adelaide.

    Great judgement of the ball in the air, gutsy as hell, good 1 on 1 but had the prerequisite ordinary kicking foot on him.

    He had an ugly kicking action, but the ball generally went where it was intended.

    Russell Colcott. Yet another undersized full forward ,but what a leap! Worth the admission just to see him fly for speccies. Didnt last long and then went to Oakleigh but an enormous natural talent .

    Kowal played just over 100 games, that's borderline obscure to me.

    my criteria is nobody bringing up his name in the 3 or 4 yrs ive been lurking and posting. Marcus Seecamp is another, not obscure, but i think im the only one ive ever seen bring him up! i think it was a convo with you Rod about bringing in some muscle to stand up to opposition belting Gawn behind play.

    Great post.

    Marcus Seecamp was a player who I would love in our side now.

    Solidly built half-back who would run through a bus crash to defend a team mate. Hard as woodpeckerlips.

    A 195cm player who measured 185cm in height.

    How about Matthew Collins, he played about 20 odd games, but injury limited his time with us. Came to us from Adelaide with Brent Wiliams for Nathan Bassett ( a couple more for the obscure list, though neither played a game for us)

    Ted Fidge played 42 games for us, and in last year of 1988 only played the one game ... but what a game!

    We were playing Collingwood at Waverley and Fidgey snotted Magpie star and matchwinner Darren Millane hard enough for Pants to have no further impact on the game (may have even been carried off).  Young Ted copped six weeks from the tribunal and we never saw him again.  We won the game by the way!

    At that game and visibly recall the Fidge- Millane 'incident' to this day. Ted rather publicly and mistakenly retaliated to sly whack from  Millane, during the play, with a powerful right cross to the head. Millane was dazed, confused and on very rubbery legs. So much for the faux tough image, Millane attempted to project on the footy field. Unfortunately for Ted,  Swooper massively disapproved, it was Ted's last senior appearance and he was delisted at seasons end. The match itself? After an three goal opening burst by the Magpies, a fabulous Brian Wilson lead recovery by the Demons, who stormed back to secure a memorable victory.

    He was memorable for his large tattoo of an Indian on his arm.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
