I went to the footy just to watch Flower.

First saw him when he came on the ground as 19th man @ Collingwood in the Reserves > The Athletic Glasses made him look like a little skinny kid. C'wood barrrackers laughed. After he had shown half their side what he could do they were calling out "Kill the kid!!!!"   Bast day of football ever except for beating (belting)  North in the final in his last year.

Unbelivable footballer !!

 

Current : Gus or Jetta plus afew others.

 

Very difficult to limit it but I will do my best:

The shadowy years
Alves, Wells and Flower. Honestly, these three were guns but unfortunately Alves and Wells left for success. 

Re-emergence
Flower, B Lovett, Lyon, A Johnson

Amazing era
Lyon, Ox, Farmer, Tingay, Yze

More dark days
N Jones, Jurrah, B Green  

Current,
N Jones, Brayshaw, Jetta

Not our choice. Scott & family had a falling out with Neal Daniher - He went home for family reasons.

Yeah, he wanted to go home. he wouldve become one of the dees all time greats. I knew it. I don't think the dees were aggressive enough. 

Memories.  I remember waiting in the MCC grandstand during the 70’s for Dad to finish drinking with his mates in the Redlegs.  I’d wait ages for him.  Mostly thrashings in those days but sometimes we got down to the rooms and afterwards the atmosphere was great after a win.

Ray Biffin, Laurie Fowler and Paul Callery were so fair dinkum and young Robbie was fair with skill sublime.  Those interstate games at least gave him a moment to shine.  To think my father drove us home after how many pints...

I fondly remember spud Dullard, loved Big Carl,  Fabulous Phil, Brent Crosswell and Peter Moore in the RednBlue.  Brian Wilson joined us from Footscray and won a Brownlow in 1982.  It’s not widely known, but one VFL umpire who knew him very well told me he voted Brian favourably when umpiring his games that year which I guess helped secure the games best & fairest award that year.

Bones Grinter, Stinger, Strawbs, Jimma, Sean W, Neita, Vines, Lovett, the Febes, Schwarta, Lyon, Ouze, Whizz just great boys that gave their all for the jumper.

We always tried seemingly hopeless guys from other clubs but so many succeeded.
Faves include Henry Coles, Kevin Dyson, Jamie Shanahan & Ricky Jackson.  Just think how many recruits we have in our current team.  I was there and Liam Jurrah’s debut against Essendon at Etihad he was amazing.

Anyway Oliver, Max & CP5 are brilliant footballers who hopefully lead us to premiership glory...go Dees


In my living memory the number 2 was the best player in the VFL. My friends and I (who all followed other teams) would go only to watch the number 2. His quickness of mind, body and skills were something to behold. I went to a game and watched Steve Smith kick out, after a behind was scored 17 times to a contest on the wing, and the number 2 would either mark it or bring it to ground and still be able to win the contest. His freaky ability to run towards a marking contest and then turn to face the ball and leap, vertically, in-front of the opposition just as the ball arrived is a skill that I have not seen any other VFL player or AFL player emulate. He had the most amazing ability to read the flight of the ball. I think you are able to see this skill in replays.

I remember watching WOS (Sunday Morning after all the Saturday games) Sheedy was a panelist. He quoted on TV that he thought number 2 was the best player in the VFL at the time. The beauty of this is that it is on tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
