Just read the sad news that Jeff Hilton passed away this week. Was a terrific player for the Dees in 1994. 

Reading the news on the St Kilda website, it sounds like he had been experiencing personal troubles in his life. Very sad.

I remember thinking he could really star for us after watching him in a practice match at Vic. Park.

He played some really good games for us, but I’d say didn’t reach his full potential.

Very sad.

 

Tragic to hear the terrible news about Jeff Hilton. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends, both the Saints and the Demons as well as all who knew him. 😔

He was a definitely someone I remember with his number 22# jumper when he was playing for the Demons during our finals run in 1994. Him and  Demons teammate Paul Hopgood used to look very similar with the long flowing blonde hair running around.

I remember Hilton from our terrific year in 94. Looked like stinga and wore 22 so always mixed them up. Good tough player. Sad news.

I remember Jeff as a real ‘goer’ on the footy field.  Incredibly sad to learn that he is no longer with us.  
Vale Jeff.

Very sad news.

Great player to watch.

 

Yes, I liked watching him play, had a good yarn with him and Martin Pike one day after a match against Geelong over a couple of beers in the Redlegs bar.

Those with personal problems go and talk to someone about it.

Where was the redlegs bar?

I went to school with Joffa. He was a gun sportsman...footy, cricket, basketball.

Very sad news. Vale Jeff.

Back then I am pretty sure it was the rooms that the club now uses as Presidents Lunch rooms, in '94 it may have been the first year that the redlegs was moved from the members reserve area.

Sad news indeed. Used to always get him mixed up with Hopgood.


Terrible news for Jeff Hilton and his family and friends.

RIP  Jeff.

 

My first memories of Jeff was when I watched him during the Finals of him playing for Dromana when i lived in Hastings before he got recruited if my memory is correct. He was so dominant i thought this guy has to play in the Big Time. Was rapt when he finally got to the Dees. RiP Jeff.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
