3x Premiership Winner, Team Of The Century half back, Captain, the list goes on.

Passed away yesterday at the age of 95.

Vale.

 

 

A real Legend of the club. Vale.

 

Bittersweet but it's good to know Noel saw the 2021 Premiership.

Sad to hear the news.

Wonderful bloke, great leader, very good player.

Very tough on the field, complete gentleman off it.

 


They don't make 'em like that any more.

Great Man Noel

Vale, a very strong innings.


Sad news.  I cannot remember the game at the 'G, but pre-game he and other legends of the club, were on the field.  Noel was fist pumping, as he walked off the oval.  I things were pretty low for us back then.  I am glad he got to see and hold the cup.

RIP mate.  Condolences to family and friends.

RIP Noel, a hard man on the field, who gave his all for the Dees and was a true Dees Great. 
Condolences to family and friends.

What an absolute Legend of the game and MFC great so glad that Noel finally saw his beloved Dees break the drought.
RIP Noel McMahen.❤️💙

Fancy lining up against Noel in his heyday. That face would have been terrifying. It spoke of unforgiving toughness and character. As his face with the 2021 Cup spoke of gentleness, peace and pride. 

A true great of the Club who linked the past glory years with our most recent triumph. 

Forever a part of the rich footy folk law at the Demons. Legendary premiership captain of one the most legendary football teams of the VFL era. Never saw him play, but was given an insight about how tough Noel really was. A lady who was a personal friend of Noel's told me he still had stop marks in his back well after the game was played on a Saturday afternoon. Which he revealed at a party later that night. Don't make them that 'tough' anymore.

Great pic on club website; Noel boots and all!


Sad to hear the mighty Noel McMahen has departed this earth. Noel was a tough, skilful defender and just charged through packs  as if they were tissue paper. He was fast , strong and had a very high knee lift which made him a frightening sight. Get a bump from Noel and you would know about it. Ask Collingwood's Bobby Rose who was completely but fairly flattened by our intrepid captain. What chance did the opposition have with the dynamic Donny Williams on the other half back flank. So glad you got to see the Demons take out another flag. RIP mate.

Sad to see one of our very best gone. But many memories of him as a true champion for our older fans.  Saw the Cup triumph last year so fitting for him. 
Vale Noel McMahon

Very sad news, still to this day my dads favourite player along with Laurie Mithen.

Condolences to his family.

Noel Played before my time but through my old man I had the good fortune to meet him on numerous occasions and was thrilled he was included in the premiership cup presentation. Just a lovely man, the family must be so proud.

Valè Legend 

I had the pleasure and  privilege  of meeting Noel a few times at MFC functions. His charming and friendly manner belied one of the toughest men ever to play for our club. Not only was he a great CHB, he was brutal in his attack on the footy and alongside his teammate , the incomparable Don Williams, formed part of the best defence the MFC has ever seen. Noel was The Enforcer. 
 

I am so happy Noel lived to see us win our 13th flag and hold the Cup.

RIP Noel

It's always very sad to hear of the passing of a Club icon. RIP.

A true Gentleman. Was still cracking jokes holding the Cup. 
Wish there was more footage of The Team in the 50’s 

what a magnificent era of MFC Domination 

 

My mum (a mad Demons fan) and dad (a Swans man) were huge fans of this bloke and loved his tough nature. A real man of his time and club legend. Imagine the team with him and Barassi running around - frightening AND inspiring!

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
