Sorry slowly is best I can imagine

Well after a terrific Saturday Sunday turned to mud.

I was barracking for the Pies yesterday and they got done by Adelaide singly the worst mob in the AFL by the length of the Flemington straight.

Oh well there is always next weekend.

They are a funny side the Crows. They have a lot of dumpy looking Collingwood 6 footers but get the job done.

Funny and Adelaide are not words I would normally put in the same sentence Redleg.

Dislike, Hate, rabble, agony, are a few that come to mind but funny no.

I am not a great fan of Adelaide, but something in me finds it hard to be upset when the Pies get done and may miss out on the finals as a result ... :blink:

No thank you

I'm with R & B on this OD. Pain for the filth is always enjoyable.

Not saying you are wrong Bbo but in this case I think it is the lesser of the two evils.

As I posted months ago after speaking to PJ, Roos has agreed to a third year as Coach.

The building blocks of our revival are being put in place.

On a side note to the Essendon drug fiasco, I heard that seven wheelchair athletes have been banned from the Commonwealth Games paralympics after they tested positive for WD40.

I heard that another 20 of them were banned because they rocked up to training legless.

Like yourself jazza, i am transmogrifying into a new and even better me.

Had my first gym session (properly called a workout I believe) today. My Personal Trainer escorted me to a treadmill to “warm up”, as she put it. That was quite painful as the side rails rubbed rather nastily on my manly mid section.

I was gasping and bawling after about 30 seconds so she decided I was warmed up enough. She also attempted to get me on a bike but that caused some very embarrassing personal issues.

Now it was time to “pump iron”. I was led to a machine called the “Pec Deck” – apparently used to develop one’s pectorals. Well my pectorals hang to my waist so I didn’t think further development was required. However, I allowed myself to be guided by the professional (as I have on many previous occasions)

An excruciating experience but I did my 5 “reps” (that’s gym talk) and called it a day.

I understand protein intake is advised after a workout so I purchased (and consumed) 2 meat pies on the way back to the manor.

I’ll have a day’s rest and be back into it on Thursday.

However, I feel I have made advances already.

Doesn't matter if both the Crows and the Pies make the finals - neither would get past week 2 at best.

If the Crows go O K we can always say the Demons beat them over there anyway.

No BB. At this point myself, my Doctor and the PT are still negotiating this concept of "diet". When the notion of cutting back red wine intake was mentioned I became quite agitated and we haven't really progressed.

What can I add?

Going to the gym won't help you BBO- you need Pilates and hydrotherapy.

But I am sure you are only in there for visual stimulation as well as your feeble attempts at efficacy.

Very negative and unsupportive of you Biffen. I am sure that when I become a new man I'll be be a big hit at the Gat and you'll be in my shadow.

BTW. As to "visual stimulation", I was receiving quite a few meaningful glances today!!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
