I know it's got little to do with the topic, but I like Peter Donegan as a commentator. I reckon he's got a voice that is pleasant on the ears, unlike the screeching cats like McAvaney and Hudson.

Agree. VFL coverages are good in general, but I think Donegan is the stand out and even covers other sports like horse-racing well.

I agree, I always enjoy watching Sandy when they're on ABC with Donegan calling.

Huddo = 'screeching cat'... lovely analogy Nasher

Dennis Commett has been quoted that he does not follow any clubs, but has a soft spot for Melbourne.

As a child in WA he followed Melbourne and his favourite player was Big Bob Johnson...He has mentioned this quite a few times in broadcasts

Correct - he's said in an interview that if he was pushed to say who he barracks for he'd have to say Melbourne. Mentioned the Big Bob factor.

Agree that Peter Donegan is one of the best & most versatile broadcasters going around. Despite the impediment of being a 'Pie fan.

All of u people are wrong about Bruce mcavaney, he's actually a crows supporter and it even says on his Wikipedia.

We're gonna need to see your miners license mate. You can't just go round digging up any old thread.

Actually, I find it interesting Robot Devil. Demonlanders from years back who we haven't seen in many moons.

That being said, I saw RangeRover on 'Ology today in the game day chat room. I should have asked if he was going to come back to the 'Land.

Yep, there are a few people in this thread with high post counts who I have not seen posting in my time here.

I can only assume they have drifted away over time.

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from 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. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    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)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
