Results from Round 9, 1975. The mighty Dees beating Fitzroy. My cousin, Gary Hardeman in the best players.

Interesting the Dees had a great defence in 1956...only 354 points kicked against in the first 7 Rounds with a percentage of 153.4.

Our third quarter against the Roys in that game was reminiscent of our third quarter against Freo last weekend.

Had the no. 33 on my back, before GH retired and I switched to no. 2 (obviously). Great player. Didn’t see many wins back then though!

I remember that game. I think it was my first trip to VFL Park. 
the Demons kicked 2-3 late junk goals. 
it was one of those bad days we all remember 

We had a pretty good list in ‘72, should have done better.

Elliot, Carl, Alan Davis all played for us. Grambeau?

Yeah, Shane Grambeau, son of Mick who played for North in the ‘50s. I just looked up Mick’s page on Wikipedia. Interesting read. After a loss by North in 1955, both he and Laurie Icke were sacked for apparently not trying. Following a big public furore they were reinstated, but had to sign statements that the club was right in sacking them! Amateur Hour. 

Coincidentally the sons of both Mick and Laurie ended their playing days at Melbourne, Steven Icke adding a Bluey to his 1977 premiership medal.

I recognise quite a few people in that shot. My very good friend Jason is front and centre about to start a chant and next to him holding a flogger is Hayden Burbank. The Flag Inn sponsorship would make it 1987?

The same Hayden Burbank who went to jail after sneaking into WA for the Grand Final, I presume?

Jeez we had a lot of talent in 1975, and yet we finished 3rd last. Four members of our Team of the Century (Hardeman, Flower, Alves and Wells), in addition to Big Carl, Garry Baker, Ross Brewer and Ray Biffin. Unfortunately we didn't have any prolific goalkickers at that time, so I'd imagine that Ross Brewer was our best forward, along with a young Steven Smith.

Also noticed Marty Lyons name appearing. It's a shame we didn't get his son Jarryd.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
