Think DL could turn really feral if we lose to the Saints:

My main concern for the game is how well Max recovers from watching the Giro D'Italia final competitive stage last night.

Plus there's the let-down of commuting through the dreary 'sameness without theme' of an Australian city after watching the landscape of Northern Italy go past for five hours.

Hopefully it manifests in anger. A real 'I will create something beautiful today and nothing will stop me' moment.

You are correct, there is nearly no too far on this thread.

I see this post arrived below a '2 weeks later...' notice. I hope achievement of 30,000 posts hasn't been 2021-like in creating a no-more-mountains-to-climb attitude.

Back on pace and on message, please, ladies and gents!

Great article by Langdon, who praises Goody and the Club Culture, for putting players’ welfare first, as evidenced by him being allowed to miss the Eagles game to attend his sister’s wedding in London.

He said the club was a great place to be and play football with as they really cared about their players.

That is a fantastic advertisement for any player thinking of moving clubs.

I read that same article and thought similar

Pretty ordinary behaviour by Dogs fans booing Lobb.

It could put off other players from going there and staying there.

On a different note, remember when decimate meant to destroy one tenth? I'm no good at calculating percentages but the evolution of decimate to mean largely destroy does my head in...

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
