Martin Pike confirmed on SEN last night that Chrissy Johnson of Lions may not be the last Fitzroy listed player to play AFL.

Wardy was on the Fitzroy supplementary list in the Roys last year but did not get to play a senior game before FFC folded.

Pity this was not publisied before the game on Sunday night as may have added some interest (sorely needed) & if was Wardy's last game in AFL.

IF Wardy plays on next year (???) he will be the last and only Fitzroy player in AFL & so only remaining connection for pure Fitzroy people apart from Ross Lyon and P Roos who are coaching & Gary Pert who somehow got a gig at the filth! :wacko:

Of coures they all missed their best opportunity for greatness when the purchase of FFC by MFC did not go thru. It was Roos, Pert & co that MFC wanted!

    Ben Holland also spent a season on the Fitzroy senior list.

    That I did. Didn't get a game though.

    Being a supp list player it is a bit of a long bow to draw. Same for Holland. I don't think he actually stepped in the door at Fitzroy.

    Chris Johnson is rightly the last Roy Boy!

    holland didnt step in the door- he stayed in adelaide. but was officially listed nonetheless and was traded by them to richmond at the end of the season.

    for all intents and purposes he is the last roy boy, however scott was there at the end. and played for the place...

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      This season cannot end soon enough. Disgraceful.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
