    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 :)

    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"

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
