Shocking. A parent’s worst nightmare. 

how the [censored] do you drive through a school fence 

honour the kid in round 1

It's been mentioned she had some sort of medical episode.  All in all, such a tragic thing to have happen.  That poor family.

Absolutely horrific and a parents nightmare.

If the family are supportive of it, I think it would be a wonderful tribute to do something for the memory of a young Dee’s fan in Rd1

I really do hope the footy club does something. There is not a parent in the country whose heart isn't going out to that poor family this week. 

Puts all the BS we argue about on here into perspective.

Yes doesn't it!!

Surely as supporters we can drive this. Doesn’t the cheer squad do the banner? They can put a tribute there. Let’s contact the club and get them to reach out to the family and have them as our special guests Round 1. Let’s get his classmates to be the honour guard. There is so much we can do to support this kid, his family and school friends.

This really hit home for a number of reasons. Absolutely unfathomable in Australia that you would send your child to school and not expect them to come home. 

As a father I find it almost incomprehensible to think about outliving your children. My sincerest thoughts go out to all involved in this heart-breaking tragedy.

Heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking when I heard the news.

Your boy goes to school and doesn’t come home. Terrible Sadness is all I feel. 

Hopefully the Dees reach out sometime to support his family. 
I would fully support whatever the MFC club and our community can do in these tragic circumstances.

This is a tragedy.

A young life lost far too soon.

I also hope the Melbourne Football Club do something to honour Jack Davey in Round 1.

I note the club has responded to his dad's Instagram post saying they'll get in touch with an offer to help in any way they can.  Lovely gesture.

It hit home for me because my nephew is the same age as Jack.  I can't imagine how the family must be feeling, as I can't fathom something horrible like that happening to James. Just horrible.  I feel like crying.

Hi All 

Probably a bit closer for me than most here - he played footy in the under 11s at Glen Iris Gladiators with my son. His dad is the team manager.

There has been 2 go fund me's set up - one with the money going directly to the Davey family to allow them as much time as possible for whatever they need and the other set up by the primary school for all the families involved - donate what you can spare to help

My heart goes out to the Parents and Family.  .. to HIS friends at school, the school community and.wherever he touched others such as the Gladiators. My condolences to your lad and yourself. 

Unfathomable,  it goes to place no parent/grandparent ever wants to go.

So terribly sad :(

A very sad photo of Jack, the school boy killed in an accident, in the Herald Sun, dressed in his MFC gear. I hope the Club will reach out to the family to see if there is anything they can do. Devastating

So very sad. 

One thing I never want to experience as a parent is the loss of one of my kids. Really feel for the family and hope MFC reach out to them.

Thanks for sharing Bob.

Being involved in community sports at that age group rams home for me how devastating this will be for the community, never mind poor Jack’s family. 

Tragic.

The heart wrenching impact of Jack's passing on friends and all those he touched in his all to short life.  Perhaps best summed up in this comment: “Jack was exactly the sort of child you would dream up if you were conjuring a perfect friend for your own beloved child.“[His death] has broken my son’s heart. It has robbed our community of a future natural-born leader, and a damn decent kid who shone so brightly you could just about see his halo.”

It speaks volumes to a great kid and a wonderful, courageous family. 

My heart bleeds for them 💔

 

And for @Sideshow Bob who posted above that his son and Jack played in the same team 💔

Totally [censored] and a parents worst nightmare.  My youngest son is just a little older and if that happened to him....   Hopefully th family is getting the support they need. It would be great for the club to do something to acknowledge a young supporter taken way too early.

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s

    The versatile defender who can play as a tall interceptor and also take on smaller opponents got his second chance this year but injuries prevented him from getting a regular place in the Melbourne team and managed to add only seven games to his AFL tally this year.
