Love the Ox! 

Oh what he could have been.....

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.

JVR anyone?! 


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.

The z factor.

Edited by leave it to deever


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.

There is, his name is Buddy Franklin.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • 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.
