Easy one to forget, but Daniel Cross gave us two very good years in 14-15.

Trying to think of players who were given no opportunity/ discarded by their former clubs … or who failed at their first club … who then were “saved” by the Dees and given a second chance and 

turned into excellent players. 
 

Not sure they’ve been many.  

Laurie Fowler.

Brian Wilson.  

Brett Lovett

Guy Rigoni.

Peter Moore won a Brownlow with us. If a debilitating back/ hamstring issue didn't cut his career short by at least a season Darcy Moore could well have been in Demon colours. Moore openly stated he loved the MFC.

Darcy Moore NO!

This is or best recruit fro another club ever. For skills, toughness, leadership and for never playing a bad game. The man is an all timer. This gets lost. B. Lovett was vey good an J. White was super talented, deterined and successful. But, as the best recruit fro another club. Surely its a 1 horse field?

Maybe not the best player, but Bernie Vince is one of the most underrated and significant recruits we've had, he played a huge role in changing our culture 


Loved Chris Dawes and of course Heretier

Great list thanks @spirit of norm smith. Some very handy performers here. We've had far more hits than misses over the journey. Hope we get that Maysie bloke to 100 games.

Cam Pederson couldn't get a game at North before coming to us. Like Bernie Vince and Daniel Cross, was not the flashiest player, but gave a few seasons of very solid service in an ordinary side.

Will always have a soft spot for Pedo

 

Bell playing the crumbing role 👍🏼😁

Jeffo ...break out game!?  Nice run down


Sestan for his 4th!  Looks so much better and natural playing as a medium HF.  Mid field probably not his go

Golly, these blokes were phantastique in Demon colours - all four of 'em.  Wish we had a few more of them, now!

 

 

Why would you give up an extra at the stoppage when you're a goal behind with a few minutes to go.

Match them around stoppage and try and clear quickly into the f50 surely to get the scores level

How did Neocleuos not know he was about to be tackled 🤔


Moniz off HB is giving up Peter to pay Paul for mine.  No quality smalls up forward to convert or put decent pressure on inside 50.

The oppo just waltz it out with ease far too often.

Well i have no idea how i ended up in here.  Started off in the Casey thread

Went off the rails like the boys in the second half 😅

Noidealeuos.

I guess the pattern when we have bought many of those players is when we were not travelling very well and needed experience for the existing playing group. While I think all gave something to the club in their time, I really liked watching Vardy play, and it game in the pouring rain in Perth when he won it for us. 

Whereas May and Lever came as a piece to get the Cup for us.  

 


Surprised Clint Bizzell has barely had a mention. 

Peter Vardy in 2002 was pretty special.

Lever, May, Langdon, and I'd add Ben Brown, each filled vital holes in our line-up leading to our 2021 success.

Alistair Clarkson?

Let’s get this back on track. Which players recruited were discarded or delisted by their former clubs and not getting game time and went on to be very very good career players at the Dees. 
 

Only Lovett, Rigoni, Wilson, Fowler shine out. Pedersen was a good one too for a short period.  Most over the past 50 years have faded into the abyss. 

Otherwise our star recruits were most predominantly traded in and enticed through either a return home , contract length, contract dollars or the hope of better times.  Some good and some not so good.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
