Peter was a prominent QC, a former director of the Melbourne Football Club from 2000-2003 and a strong financial benefactor.

There's a headline/tribute on the MFC website and the players will wear black armbands on Saturday.

Peter Hayes made a great contribution to the club in difficult times. I didn't agree with the stand he took during the Joseph Gutnick saga back in 2001 but he put in for the club and was a true Demon. He was also a brilliant lawyer and, as happens with some people of true genius, he was also a troubled person at times. He deserves our utmost respect at the time of his passing.

My sincere condolences to the family and to his friends.

condolences to the hayes family. its hard enough to lose a loved one, let alone lose one in the public forum. best wishes.

Condolences to family and friends of Peter Hayes. A good supporter of the Club.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
