Can't think of a player who very obviously had NOPE stamped on his name in big letters by a coach. 

Third in the B&F in 2013, in and out of the side in 2014 under Roos. Signed on for two years at the end of 2014, played two full seasons in the VFL when just about every other player on the senior list got picked at some point. Almost seemed like a stubborn standoff between coach and player in the end. Pretty funny in hindsight - probably not for Dean though.

I was thinking of the BnF in 2013 when I saw the 2021 DL leaderboard with so many guns. How far have we come? Staggering

Dean tried his guts out so fair play to him. Just didn’t have the talent

    Winning the next 34 on the trot isn't too much to ask for is it?

    To be fair I think we should give him until the end of 2022 to even up

    If we had had two Pedos we would have been at 68 percent and firing.

    Looks like James Jordan is the new Clyde Laidlaw!

    (Fingers crossed because that's an 81% win rate and four premierships in 124 games)

    I met Clyde at a Grand Final function about five years ago and had a long chat with him. What a gentlemen. And he was in great shape. Always and forever a Deez man, followed us very closely and thought that our recruiting, playing style and coaching strategy with Roos back then was spot on.

    FUN FACT

    James Jordon is the first player to win his first 6 games since.....


    Charlie Spargo in 2018 R6-11

    Bonus facts:
    The next best is 7 winning games by Brian Dunsford in 1957 where he played 7 games that year, all wins and didn't play another season with anyone.  James Jordon has the chance this week to equal this

    The second best is 13 wins in a row by Alby Rodda in 1939 winning 9 games (including a flag) continuing on to win his first 4 games of 1940 after missing round 1. 

    The best streak by a Melbourne player is Bryan Kenneally's first 14 games were all wins with 2 played in 1959 and 12 played in 1960. 
    After his first two seasons he had a record of 17 games 16-3 and one premiership.

    Thats amazing.  Knock off North and the Swans and he owns the record outright.

    Reminds me of the sad stat about Robbie - 270 odd games and finals only in his last three. 
    Come 88-89-90 Newport, Viney, Stynes and co were running like 9 finals out of 30 or 40 games

    How does this compare to Cam Pedersen's percentage? I feel like we won every game he played for us there for a while.

    Just seeing Cam on the field was a win in itself - really enjoyed his suddent efforts and effects for the team. One of my favourites; he was so motivating at times.

    Not that it matters, but Marty Hore is in your list twice...with the same % win.

    Seeing this list really makes me feel for Nathan Jones. Playing might seem "easy" for players like Jordon, Rivers and Jackson, but Jones really did it tough and the fact that he stuck with us throughout those terrible years should never be forgotten.

    Thank you, just fixed that up :)

    Yeah I feel for Jones,  a lot of players on our list between 2007-2016 would have had similar horrific %.

    • 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.
