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

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 tragic. The community is heartbroken for the families involved.

Would be great for the club to do something in rd 1


Absolutely devastating.

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!!


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.

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.

💯.  Such a sad story. 

Gut wrenching to hear.. It's certainly every parent worse nightmare. 

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.

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.

Cannot imagine it.  Poor family.

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 :(

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.”

a-shooting-star-who-blessed-us-for-11-years-with-love-dad

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
