I agree, the Return of Connolly along with schwabb is just inspired.

For those to young to remember Connolly playing-he Bled for our club & was touted as captain material before he did the old knee.

Good on ya Chris. You were always far too good for the Shockers....

Yes, I've been thanking Jimmy and Schwabby heaps, but Chris deserves equal praise too.

This is the most excited I've been about our list and football department in my lifetime. I actually believe that we can give the premiership title a real crack (injury and player management permitting) with our young developing list. There's probably only two questions marks I have about the current list and that is another KP forward and elite midfielder. Furthermore, I also have full confidence in the current board and FD to get us out of financial ruin and put us up with the other powerhouses in the AFL.

Go you Demons!!!

Yeah Chris has been great. Was always a great clubman. Great bloke. When I was a kid in the '80s I had a kick to kick with the man at the Lakeside Oval at 3qtr time in a Dees reserves game. He said I had to work on my left foot. I didn't.

He had to swallow a bit of a bitter pill when he didn't get the coaching gig. He dearly would have loved to coach the club. But he has been great in his current role.

Good work Connolls.

Sounds like the first two picks in the 2009 Draft for those positions!

I agree ol' "cuddles" (Chris Connolly) is doing an AWESOME job for the MFC!

I love it when he gets interviewed by the media and basically makes them look like a bunch of fools when he twists their questions back onto them! :D

He was funny on 'Future Stars' this morning. I really enjoyed his stories and the fact that he barely answered any of Hutchie's questions directly.

Brilliant.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    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
