His mate Heffernan says hi

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: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
