I'm wondering if there has ever been any kind of compilation assembled about what teams current football players supported as youngsters.

Which leads me to ask, if each player could have chosen their team to play for in the AFL, how would the demons look?

I know we'd have Chris Judd and Scott Pendelbury.....who else?

Neitz, Bruce and White all barracked for the Saints. Schwarz went for the Hawks. Sylvia barracked for the Pies, and Brock for no-one.

I was always under the impression that Judd went for the Demons, but a mate who usually knows these things told me that Judd and all his family supported the Hawks. Can any be definitely correct about this?(i.e. really know).

By the way, I know it doesn't matter!

Nope. Judd followed the dees. He even said so in his Brownlow acceptance interview.

It makes no sense to, but this makes me rather sick to the stomach!

There would be some fairly useful acquisitions if this was a recruitment criteria, although we would lose a few too ;) :D !!!

Buckley, Judd, Franklin, the Lonies... We'd have something of a decent team...

Unfortunately Collingwood and Essendon would also love if this was a recruiting policy.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
