    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 :)

    No choice but to take it on the chin.

    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"

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
