    It was a tragedy that he hurt his knee, will never forget the 9 goals against Sydney, just sensational.

    That he still finished with a good-VG career makes you think with two good knees would have been one if he greats of the competition!

    Such a talent wasn't he, and a shame.

    Imagine having that beast in the team now. Unstoppable.

    Never mind, we have Sam. 

    If only there was a current-day clone ... absolute star quality.

    My hero growing up, he really was. No.5 on the back, still got that jumper somewhere.

    I cried when we triumphed last year, I cried for Robbie after the 1987 prelim and I cried when he did his knee for the third time. That's about it. Oh - and when I had my kids.

    Theox Waa one beast of a player. Don't forget he struggled with knees issues too.

    He and Neiter were a great combo.

    Absolutely LOVE the Ox. Brilliant player and bloke.

    I have huge respect for him given he came back from his knee recos and then his gambling issues. He is one massively resilient man. 
     

    Will always be a Dees man.

    He was one of the best players I have seen at the MFC.

    He was something to behold in 1994 and prior.  I was at his post 3rd knee comeback game. That was pretty special.

    He is one of a handful of Dees forwards I have seen who could tear a game to shreds. Unstoppable at his peak, and a dominant  physical presence. If he was one of our forward options now, wow...

    I love his unapologetic Support of the Red and Blue.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
