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: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
