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: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
