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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
