Moonshadow must be in on it too. Maybe satellite surveillance. How else would he know that I'm 4foot 11 and wafer thin. Jesus you guys are all over it. Next thing I'll be accused of being too friendly with the Alpacas.

Biffen was right all along - live on the streets.

So yesterday afternoon I suffered high-tea at the Burj Al Arab. And now im home. Im not sure which is the more surreal experience, Dubai...or these forums.....have i missed much ??

I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed not giving one modicum of care about the team or its fortunes for three weeks. Im thinking this is the only sane way forward for me to barrack and support this outfit for some time going forward, and thats not to give a hoot. I stayed calm, I was apparently easy to communicate with, fun to be with. ...and I was/am happy.

My only regret was not having a Banana dacquiri yesterday...but the champagne sufficed admirably !!! :)

I can understand Eddie everywhere being keen to get a game there ( Dubai )...but id reckon youd get probably a couple hundred expats a brigade of taxi drivers and a camel or two watching !!...still if you want a Rolex, Tag,Omega, Prada, Chanel etc youll be right :)

As an an aside there was even a feral there ( ob expat local ) actually wearing a Pies Jumper...wtf ????? Theyre everywhere

Can you imagine if they had the anti-obesity drug AOD-9604 around in 1977, Elvis could have become a champion Essendon footballer?

Pity the bombers didn't listen to his song Return to Sender, may have saved them some heartache, if they sent the stuff back, rather than injecting it into unsuspecting footballers.

You're getting into personal territory now OD but generally sleeping with one is enough.

It is pathetic that the MFC have killed off any interest in this season for most of us, within a couple of games.

and yet they have again.

Every year its like watching a loved one slowly wither and pass.

Year in year out our emotions are drained..all by round 4 or 5.

Theres more rewarding things in life.

Go Dees....please, one day !!!

This is going to be a tough sunday. Invited to sit in a Carlton box and will probably witness a 20 goal thrashing and BOG for Brock.

Just watching the 7.30 report. Like clockwork, we can expect Young Lib Damien Barrett's Footy Show presentation to be little more than a rerun of what I'm now watching.

Some minor good news, I am not in a carlton box, only reserved seats in AFL on level 2. Hope some Dees fans are around.

I think your luck ended after you missed out on being in a Carlton Box redleg.

Cannot imagine there will be too many dees in that area on Sunday.

You know it is bad when long term dees members stop wearing Red and Blue to a game.

A friend of mine who I go with most weeks has stopped wearing Red and Blue.

he is going on sunday and planning to sit next to Carlton members.

He says if he can keep his trap shut they might no guess he is a dees supporter.

Bloody sad but there you are.

Geez I'm starting to worry about Jackson's decision making and disposal skills

Surely he has had enough time to read Demonland by now?

Another bad recruitment?

Lets give him 1.3 years before we make the call.

Jackson has done more for Melbourne in his four days as CEO than Paul McNamee did in his four months at the club. The strange thing about that is he hasn't done anything. Not even booked his tickets to Wimbledon.

So you're familiar with AOD9604?

You've been ahead of time BBO.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
