Who’s Dean Terlich? Never heard of him lol.

Stoked for Hunty though, do miss him but glad he’s valued out West.

Dean Terlich was one of those players plucked from nowhere who had noticeable limitations, but gave his all every time he pulled on the jumper. Certainly didn't die wondering and gave it his best crack.

Prescient!

I’d love to claim credit for my top 5 B&F call for Hunty back in June, but as long as an Eagles player was upright and available week in week out, then he’d be a fair chance for top 5.

Where else was he gonna go? My point is he didn’t wanna leave us.

He had other options. West Coast gave him a three year deal I believe.

And you're right, He didn't want to leave.

On ya Hunt! better to play for WC than Casey. if we had of kept him i couldn’t imagine he would have played more than 2-3 games. He just never showed the consistency. 

He could very well reinvent himself though. WC have to improve and i’d love to see him develop further

If I’m watching footy and it’s a non Demons game I barrack for the following players:

Jayden
Jesse Hogan
Toby Bedford

Those 3 always gave everything for us. Jayden’s story is well documented here, Jesse had far too much to deal with personally before he turned 23, and Toby had a frustrating few seasons of limited chances with us, and has been great this year.

I have a ‘mafia’ mentality with certain players. If you gave your all for the family then the only way out of the family is in a pine box.

There is a few players doing well that we've lost that wouldn't get a game with us, that are going well else-where.

Hunt, Bedford, McInerney, Weideman,....one or two others, that I can't think of.

It shows how deep our list has been in recent years.

It’s a bit of a stretch to describe Oscar McInerney as a player we lost; he was never Melbourne listed and he spent most of his time at Casey kicking around in the twos.

Add Oskar Baker to your list.

I disagree re inconsistency as he played 40 games in his last 2 years with us.

But I do agree re less games if he stayed - he would have lost games this year to McVee.

You’ll like the story about Howe in todays Age then Jaded. Him waffling on about how he wasn’t getting the best out of himself at Melbourne and needed a change.

He left us for better money at a bigger club. He left us when we were struggling - after we plucked him from obscurity and gave him every opportunity. He can dress it up however he wants, but we all know the truth.

Weideman?!?!?! We have very different interpretations of what doing well means.

Essendon forums havent exactly been complimentary when Weidemans name pops up. Liked him early on then fizzled out. Everyone knew it would happen. Next year make or break for him.

Hunt  Hogan and Bedford doing well but we've done better from the trades.

Thought this might be a reasonable place to acknowledge and congratulate Jayden Hunt on his 4th placing in the WC B&F.

Although the current state of the Eagles list somewhat tempers the achievement, I still think it's a good effort from Jayden to be a consistently good performer in a struggling side.

Jayden certainly gave the impression that he was a pretty solid citizen  at the MFC and I'm guessing his contribution to WC will likely go beyond his 4th B&F on feild placing.

Shows how far the MFC has come in the past 5 years, when we were the ones recycling excess tallent and experience from the lists of others, where we have now become an exporter of such tallent ourselves, with Hunt, Baker, Bedford, Jackson and to an extent Weiderman.

You could tell in those final games lasy year how much success he wanted with the dees. Was seriously desperate in trying to win the ball. Wish Jackson played with as much heart in the end. He looked like he was out the door.

He got games....which he wouldn't have with us.

He started ok, then went back to his usual poor form.

I ribbed my Bomber mates about them giving him John Coleman's number!!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
