Apparently Chris Heffernan barracked for the Demons as a kid growing up?

Unfortunately he didn't do much when he was traded from Essendon to Melbourne.

I remember that final against Geelong in 2005 when he replaced David Neitz prior to the game who was injured. I knew we were sadly not much hope when I heard that news! 😔

Essendon must have been laughing at us to trade off their leftovers in Gary Moorcroft and Chris Heffernan to the Demons back in the 2000s.

At least we are kind of even now getting Michael Hibberd and Jake Melksham from the Bombers.

I still don't like that we have to deal with Adrian Dodoro who I see in the same realms as a dodgey used car salesman!😒

    He'd be a great used car salesman, if I could be bothered photoshopping that up right now I would.

    A friend of mine is a close relative of Heffernan. He said that Heffernan didn't want to go to Melbourne and his heart wasn't in it. (Which was pretty apparent when watching him play!!)  He is back at Essendon in some capacity.

    Freo effectively trading a teenager called Jeff Farmer to Dees for Phil Gilbert

    Freo trading out a young Peter Bell

    Though they got them back to try to save face 

     

    FWIW I previously posted about Farmer v Gilbert.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
