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.

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!

Tell your people to call my people .

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"

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
