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!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
