As you say . its sad , a very unfortunate and unlikely accident. A loss to his family and friends.

The way this country carries on though about some people in an inordinate manner and almost oblivious to other things makes me cringe at times.

youd think there was nothing else bar sport

The thing that gets me is that there are a lot of young people who die through accidents, illness, and other means.

and they are all tragic.......How many footballers or other sportsmen and women have died at their respective sports?

Does their game change because of it??....No

I have found the media reports about Phil Hughes death over the top

It is a tradedy but so are other young persons deaths who do not get the same coverage or reverence because they didn't play for Aust.

Now here is a surprise mr Clarke broke down today in the first test.

But he was fit to play.

How do I know?

He told us he was!

You mean like the former Demon who told us his Doctor had advised him to go to another club.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
