    Redleg believe me you don't feel like you are there.

    I trekked the Kokoda a few years back we never get the humidity here like up there.

    I look at the moving pictures and shudder, it would be hell.

    Its very easy at times to get carried away in the midst of a preseason. We've all done it here i'm sure but this one is so, So , different. its hard to know where to start even. Is it the locales, is is the support infrastructure, is it the reporting , the videos , the fresh faces, the beaming older ones. Is it the sweat pouring off glistening bodies or is there something else, something a little less tangible but none the less prevalent amongst the group. Confidence, and a belief that they are actually on a journey going 'somewhere'.

    So many times we've allowed ourselves to believe we were at the gate only to later realise it wasnt open at all.

    This is no longer some kind of mickey mouse outfit , this is actually a professionally and properly run business whos job it is to field a competitve AFL team.

    I dont think good ol' Big Kev could be any more excited than I :)

    Spent saturday evening with a hoard of Tigers

    God we need to beat them next year, drove me crazy with jibes about tanking etc.

    No choice but to take it on the chin.

    But I have a long memory come on May 19

    Looks like Freo exacted revenge for Mitch Clark by taking Hanath. Don't know if they even spoke to him. Pity.

    They would have drafted him to fill a need, that's all.

    He's talking about the nervous nellies out and about highlighting the 21st as the end of the world.

    WYL...will you finish your book by then?

    Well us Demonlandes just can't allow that to happen. We should all sign a petition refusing to participate until we have our next Flag. After all, Melbourne started the game, and we have a birth right to be drinking from the final premiership cup as the curtain comes down.

    Isn't that the end of the Mayan calendar?

    Yep.

    WYL, how many pages are you looking at in your book?

    Hopefully you're talking to producers about a movie (series even)....and a book launch....wonder who will play WYL in the movie? Alan Alda?

    50shadesofWYL book launch will be bigger than Ben-Hur!

    Must be chapters on "Batting first", "Top 150", "Michael Clarke", ..the list is endless. 50 chapters would fit in well with the title..

    Alan Alda!! Hahaha! Far too dull for me, Kevin Spacey is a better fit by far.

    As for the topics you have raised, i have them covered here. The first rule of editing is to not repeat yourself, unless of course you are Taratino, Olly Stone or David Lynch...Stanley Kubrick..Chaplin who are genius at showing the same scene through different eyes.

    How about Sean Penn with Halle Berry as a love interest.

    yes, i agree. But Sean is a little highly strung to play yours truly..Kev is far more my speed.

    Breakfast with Halle Berry would be a good starter though!

    Hey WYL, without breaching the official secrets acts, I've being dying to know if rhino gets a guernsey?

    I hope you don't do a LJ and go too early on this book :)

    Might look silly if we win a flag a month after you release it :blink:

    I can't make up my mind on a suitable title. Tossing up on

    "Demons, Drugs and Drongos"

    "Demons, Drugs and Drunks"

    "Demons, Drugs and HornBags"

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
