Terrific Article in todays Age on Flash and his brother and Mum.

Rings very true as Aaron has shown maturity and level headedness from the time he first came to MFC. A class act off as well as on the field.

Lizzie will be justifyably proud of both sons.

My boys, Matt, Ooze (No 13) and Anthony very proud of him too.

Thanks for the link TonyM. After reading that I would think Lizzie is a shoe in to win the award. What a fantastic lady to have raised 5 kids largely on her own and be able to see two of them playing at the elite level.

an amazing lady obviously.

i don't understand the use, by journalists, of the phrase 'he ran and goaled'. goaled is not a verb. it should be either, 'he ran and scored' or 'he ran and kicked a goal'. its poor english and is coming from people who should know better.

(this all comes from a person with an apparent allergy to capital letters :P )

It's within the AFL I'm pretty sure, and well done to her.

To raise the kids on her own, must have been very difficult. If you watched the Footy Show, they read out the application form that Aaron and Alwyn sent in. It was a really good indication of how much they love and appriciate everything she has done for them.

Well done Lizzie for raising some very fine football playing sons, and raising them on your own

You have deserved this award for the player's mother of the year

And good on Aaron and Alwyn for loving their mum so much they would recommend this to her

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
