I would be curious to know Brock McLean's thoughts on the Demons winning the 2021 Premiership. I suspect still a lot of bad blood there.....

Mark "Jacko" Jackson's would be quite bemusing to know about too. He was definitely popular with Demons fans in the early 1980s apparently, but whether or not he cares about us anymore I would be surprised.

Actually the two people I would really like to hear their thoughts on about the Demons winning the 2021 flag would be David Neitz and David Schwarz. I bet they had tears of joys in their eyes just like the rest of us!

The former Demons coach John "Swooper" Northey would be over the moon too! Glad he is still around!

 

I think Brock has had battles of his own during and after football. I get the feeling he has detached from the sport for the most part.

Jacko has gone on the record saying he thinks the AFL is as dry as dust with no showmen, thus he doesn't even watch it. He also said during his infamous interview with Mike Sheehan that we had no guts, made comments intimating we were all a bunch of toffs, we were going nowhere and would never win another flag. I doubt he would be happy for us, but even if he was, he can piddle off. I have no time for the bloke whatsoever (and its not just about his hating on us either).

Swoop is a bloke who I think has divided loyalties in the best possible sense. He played in premierships at Richmond, but was with us for 7 full seasons as well. I saw him once on the train back to Ballarat after a match with his Demons tie on so there is definitely love still there. 

Ox is as passionate a Demon as you will find, as is Neita. I need say no more.

    I had a chat to Crackers at my local (Torquay) some years ago. Definitely no love for Melbourne.

    Likewise for Gerard, although not to the same extent.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
