I've just noticed that of all the recent Demon Defectors, none but Oscar is getting a game at the moment. Injuries have laid low the mighty Jesse, the Front Runner Hannan, poor Preussy Boy, and Dean Kent can't get a game with the Saints. Domus Tyson can't crack it either. And fat lot of good it did Jimmy the Toump jumping ship...

There's a part of me that wishes Stf Martin had come home instead of queuing at the Kennel.

    After the shameful way he was treated, I doubt Stef would ever want to return.

    No,  it was the “MC” who rocked the house.

    Front Runner Hannan

    That's a bit of an unnecessary slur on the bloke isn't it.

    I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get more out of Hannan given his best was pretty bloody good, but I'd personally put that down more to a bad rub with injuries than any lack of endeavor about the way he played.

    And in my wild erratic fancy

    vision came to me of Hannan

    Running towards the goal

    Oh what a run, oh what a run.

    PS. I thought he was great. I wish he was still a Demon.

    Jimma Frawley has hit the injury wall as well. And remember what happened to Jack Watts and Mitch after they left ?

    To be fair to the club, in recent years (I'm talking 2000+) there haven't been too many delistings/trading out that have hurt the club.  And while they haven't all worked out, a number of players that we have brought in to the club have played some very capable roles for us.  Just need to look at our current "best 22" that would see May, Lever and Langdon up there with the first picked.

    Jeremy Howe is about the only really good player who left us in recent times: the rest for various reasons didnt fire at all

    Howe wasn't anywhere near as good with us as he has become either, he was getting there though

    If anyone deserves the front-runner tag it's Howe.  Didn't want to be a defender in a rubbish team but loves it at Collingwood.  Never having an opponent helps.

    Toumpas is a real estate agent, I tried calling him about a property but he wouldn’t take my call. Still avoiding contact it would seem.

    Jake Spencer is captain of Doncaster in the EFL this year. He joined them for 2020 before the season was cancelled.

    Amazing that we have gotten this far into the thread and no mention of the two over exposed, over hyped  and underachieving poster boy captains of a decade ago. 
    Cursed by the dreaded MFC bung foot syndrome, Schwabitis and Neeldenza. I don’t blame anyone for forgetting the two Jacks. Anyone know what they are up to?

    Chatted to both those young men off field when they were going through injury recovery. Both very smart and very professional. It was a shocking curse that they succumbed to injuries and we never saw them become the A graders they had the potential to be.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
