I see your John McEnroe thread disappeared picket. Gave me a hearty laugh. No one can accuse you of not being passionate!

What has grasping his joystick got to do with flying?

 Can see the excuse this week, the Tasmanian air just sapped our players' energy.

The ground was softer than what we've been training on...

Due to our players being subjected to such a southern latitude at this time of year,they suffered a decrease of the full light spectrum required by the hypothalamus to regulate the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems.

Now there is a fair excuse. Would playing in ugg boots offset that?

It will be a tough ask for us, flying all the way across Australia to Hobart. 

Overseas travel is taxing, isn't it?

All that medical stuff above is appropriate. I'm still sans desert boots and the old in between toes fungal infection is playing up again. FMD, I try to lead a moral life but circumstances ... and events ... continually conspire to [censored] me up.

And .. as if matters could get worse my GP is pressuring me to undergo a rather ... err ..invasive shall we say test ...

FMD - It's enough to drive me to drink.

I believe you wouldn't be so bold as to make a veiled reference to what I heard referred to on that television program of high culture -RBT - as the sacred herb, would you Mr Leg?

Mr Leg I am very worried about you.

Your cynicism is beginnning to tell a sad story.

I have look to you through a lot of bad times for encouragement.

This seems sadly missing in 2016.

Please dont tell me you are about to leave the fold.

I could not go on without you.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
