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.

 

today

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 :)

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.

9 days to go....

Just caught up on 9 pages of this enthralling thread, but now I'm lost WYL!

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?

that's the plan HT. Am working on it right now. 2013 is the year of the edit.

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!

Jeff Bridges.

Done.

Tell your people to call my people .

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"

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
