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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
