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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
