Tim Taranto had to be talked out of getting a MFC tattoo in the year of his draft. He is a gun coming into his prime. He is one I believe will come home to support his childhood dream.

That'd be super super tasty, if that was to occur.

Garry Lyon was Chris Juddd's hero.  When he was at Caulfield Grammer, he wore number 3 on his back.  Scott Pendelbury and his family were Dees supporters.  Going back a fair way, Bobby Skilton and his family were ardent Dees supporters.

Wow, he really is a Dees supporter! Soz, just channeling my inner @Demonstone😝

Hang on. What? Nathan Buckley? And Taylor Adams? 

I knew Weitering was a Melbourne supporter, as was Devon Smith and I think Adam Tomlinson.

Not sure I knew about Shuey either.

Pretty sure Tomlinson was a Carlton supporter.

Shuey definitely was. Buckley? Never heard that and never wish to again.

Thought I read once that Jack Viney was a Hawthorn supporter because Todd was working at the Hawks at the time Jack decided.

Been mentioned but Tarranto, Harmes, Prestia, Buddy, Pendlebury, Gaff, Shuey, McKay are the current day players I know of.

Always liked Andrew Gaff* and now I know why. 
 

* Except for that one time when he caused Gus’s brother to have to drink puréed food through a straw for a while. 😆

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5
