Read the Sunday Herald Sun today with interest to find that Buddy Franklin was a Melbourne Demons supporter before joining Hawthorn, that his favourite players were Gary Lyon and David Schwarz, that he used to wear a jumper with the number on his back.

Geez, to think arguably 2 of the 3 most important players in the AFL at the moment barracked for Melbourne, and we're languishing at the bottom of the table. .

Sad that he's now a hawk for life.

There isn't too many Demons in Perth either!

And Brock McLean a Bombers supporter, David Schwarz a Hawks supporter.............the list can go on and on.

Unless it's father / son, has club supported as a kid ever really mattered?

It's strange to think that not that long ago he was one of us following the Dees through all their (very few) highs and lows.

I'd love to see a team made up of Melbourne supporting players, it would be interesting to see.

- S. Buckley

- Judd

- Franklin

- Pendlebury (?)

- Moloney

Who else?

I thought McLean didn't follow any one?

No.

No. And I'd prefer Pavlich anyway.

I'd be pretty interesting to do a full survey of all current AFL players and find out what team they supported as a kid, then make a best 22 from each side. I wonder if every side would have enough players?

I dont see the big deal in who a player supported as a child aside from hoodwinking gullible followers to think its creates some mythical obligation/ hold over/ ownership of the player's future and some dastardly piece of bad luck when reality sets in and AFL rules have concocted like they have for over 40 years to have the player playing for another Club.

FFS I don't see the big deal about a few posters simple having a chat about who supported what club out of "interest".

No idea what planet you live on but it must be a very depressing place.

Your avatar with your nose pushing along the ground is good proxy of the impression you make here. Keep up the good work.

It's how I feel after reading all of your depressing and negative posts

I wouldn't as it would mean the return of Chris Heffernan. :o

I've been reading some of your recent posts, Rhino and, boy, do you have a bug up your arse recently. Which is a shame, because most of the time what you say is pretty spot on. Remember to always look on the bright side of life, buddy.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
