Ex Demons. Where are they now?

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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
