Very Sad Col another of our family to pass too young 3 years ago but Hope He enjoyed our 13 th premiership which has majorly lifted all our families spirits by the level of excellence 2021 maintained from Day  1. 

At This stage it's unknown what effect this Premiership will have on our future but the signs are positive for a great period of stabilisation success and growth if all is handled correctly.

Our families were very much thought of as we triumphed last month and are Never forgotten.

    This was my tribute to Col and others when I flew the flag for the GF.  Loved watching Col play, particularly when he first arrived at the club, he was a beacon of hope that had star power written all over him.  Had we had the other capable players and maturity of leadership around him, I very much think that Colin had the talent to have been a part of a Demons premiership side.  See alot of how he played in Tommy Sparrow, hard, tough and an accurate, booming shot on goal.

    Was somewhat disappointed when he left for Freo, but also understand it based on what I understand of where he and the team were at around that point of time.  Really happy how his family and the MFC were bought back together around our premiership and I hope his family felt some happiness being a part of it.

    Demon for life.  RIP Colin.

    Sylvia played 2 or 3 games that were up there with the best of what Petracca and Oliver are capable of.

    A game against Hawthorn in 2009 comes to mind.

    The word tragic is far overused but so totally appropriate here.

    And just imagine what he could have been under the current coaching and development regime of support and self belief.  Tracc, Clarrie, Frittata - any of these and more.

    Tragic. Heartbreaking.   Col had the talent of Trac and Clarry. If only he had the others around him and the mental support and development like MFC has today.  I remember his 5-goal - 30+ possessions game PLUS he was always generous with his time and his humour on social mfc events such as family day at Luna park. Rip Col.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
