Matthew Whelan Biography

Liam Jurrah continues to excite Demons fans after kicking four goals in Matthew Whelan's final AFL game.

"The funny thing is my Dad played with Wheels and then I played with Wheels. I stayed back home with my grandmother, when my Dad was playing up in Darwin," Jurrah said.

"Just to play with Wheels in his last game is great. It would've been fantastic to get a win for Wheels, Wheats and Robbo."

"Aaron and Matty Whelan have taken me under their wing and taught me everything and I thank Matty Whelan and Aaron."

Paul Wheatley and Matthew Whelan announce that they will retire at the end of the season.

"It's been exciting to see the team develop around me," Wheatley said.

"Our current list of young players will hold the club and our supporters in very good stead over the next 10 years and beyond."

"I know the club is heading in the right direction and it's going to be great to watch the next crop of young indigenous players blossom over their journey," Whelan said.
