How's that book of yours coming along bbo? - "101 Ways To Have Fun With Alpacas"

I'm changing the title - no point in setting limits.

So you're familiar with AOD9604?

You've been ahead of time BBO.

This is where the no limits policy failed me. I think I may have O D'd!!

Had a good weekend football wise.

Went to nothing at all due to some small family problems on Saturday.

feel at peace with the world.

This could catch on!

Heard the dees lost by 10 goals and Grimes out for who knows how long.

Does it matter? no not a lot.

Booked a holiday to Thailand in June today the winter is looking up.

Out on the fourth bbo so I will be back before you leave.

Have you been to Myanmar before ?

I am told it is like bali in the 60's.

My first visit to Bali was 1975 unfortunately that "bali" is long gone or most of it anyway.

look forward to your thoughts Bbo on return.

Pretty quiet actually.

Amazing how we as supporters see our team in 2013.

I did not go yesterday but heard the scores a couple of times, at half time I thought only 5 goals behind.

Then the final score and thought wow only 10 goals!

I never thought I would see the day when I was happy with a ten goal loss.

Says lots about my expectation for the team at present.

Things are truely bad when you have no expectation of a win in 95% of games and see a ten goal loss as a good result.

I can assure you I am not happy with a 10 goal loss. I am happy that at least we tried. It is abundantly clear that we were beaten by a quicker and more skilled team. Our side lacks both badly.

I am sick to death of banging on about my pet hate, but we have too many players who have no disposal skill whatsoever. this is not development I believe. We have simply drafted players who can't use the ball properly.

As for the likes of Betts and his mates, you don't develop other players to become them, you have to draft them and we have failed miserably.

At least now our players are having a go.

I would concentrate on developing the lst as best we can and turn over more players at years end including Gillies, Pedersen, Byrnes and Rodan. A mistake, they were the wrong players.

I am spending 15/16 days there and really looking forward to it. I have travelled extensively in SE Asia (love the place and people) but first time to Myanmar. Will give you a report.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
