We had quite a number of players who played well over 10 games that should also be on this list.

    You'll need to think this through. The moment someone remembers a player, they've effectively disqualified themselves from winning the quiz because they've just proven that the player was not forgotten.

    Darren Kowel, Anthony Dullard, Alistair Nicholson, Peter Walsh, Matthew Bate and dare I say it..... Jack Grimes.

    Adrian Battison (96) just misses out.

    James Cook. 8 goals after his first two games with us. He was injured early in his third and final game. Anyone with a better goal average for under 10 games?

    I know he played more than 10 games, but as an aside, Allan Jacovich kicked 50 goals in his first 9 games. Including 8.8 in the 4th game and 11.8 in 9th game. What a freak.

    Rate him as the most exciting player I've seen in red and blue.

    I was very disappointed when Dom Barry left.  I was understanding why he left as a young bloke but he had the skills and pace to make it. Could he still return? Depending on his motivation and will. It would be quite a story.

    I remember people saying Weetra was going to be a good player, but when he finally got a game, and I finally got to see him play, I groaned.

    We've done quite well with our trading with Adelaide over the years: Ingerson, Vince, Vardy (though not nearly enough games) and one of my favourites the unlucky Matty Collins (I just rewatched some of our game from 2000 on youtube ?), but there were also forgettable busts: Jace Bode (9 games), John Meesen (4) and Nick Pesch (4).

    Other recycled players I remember over the journey that never quite reached the heights the club hoped for were:

    Trevor Spencer from Essendon, 3 games

    Gary Moorcroft from Essendon, 3 games

    David Grant from St Kilda, 7 games

    Wayne (the Moose) Henwood from Sydney, 1 game

    'Rocket' Rod Owen from St Kilda, 9 games

    Steven Pitt from Collingwood/Western Bulldogs, 5 games

    Danny Seow from Collingwood, 7 games (traded for Glenn McLean if I remember correctly).

    Michael Pickering played too many games (15) to qualify, but never regained the lofty heights he had ascended to at Richmond.

    The other one who was slightly before my time, but was my PE teacher in High School was Mark McKeon (6 games) who ended up being a runner at Collingwood and was responsible for escorting a certain Magpies Reserves player off the ground in a televised match on Sunday arvo (Army Reserve Cup) after he head butted an umpire and then jumped the fence to have a go at one of the spectators. The commentary from Ray 'Slug' Jordan is 80s footy folklore!

    Never thought of Hughes as a Key Forward. Always thought he was more of a flanker.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
