Spot on Redleg

I don' want to appear a smart arse but i have just got home after a great 24 hours.

Baby sitting overnight my two and half year grand daughter never ceases to bring a smile to my face.

Then off to see Uni Blacks play De la salle in the top of the ladder clash.

Blacks won by 11 points, close game and by Amos standards a good one.

Nice to go to a football match were I have the belief that my team has a good chance of winning.

My wife and I had a good day meeting a couple of friends, couple of drinks in Carlton on the way home.

On the way home she said to me "nice to go to a games and enjoy yourself!"

Next comment was are you going to another dees game this year?

Hmm very good question

I have had a great 24 hours as well, dees haven't been thrashed today. Oh that's right Casey were done by 10 goals.

We have too many players who are not AFL standard. Our disposal is still poor. Our kick out plan doesn't exist. We need another 4 skilled mids.

The Kreuzer cup game appears to be the most costly in recent history. That win cost us Cotchin and Nic Nat.

There is order back in the world, I had a piece of banana bread at starbucks tonight.

Sounds good, but don't drink the stuff they pretend is coffee in that place ...

Sounds like a weekend to savour, OD. If the iPad is still behaving itself, then maybe the only thing lacking is the Dees beating Hawthorn by 10 goals in two weeks time (yes, I am an idiot! :blink: )

Having just read some of the other threads on Demonland, I am extremely grateful that this one has not descended to the nastiness of a few of the others.

There is still a place for a laugh and a discussion on football and our club without being attacked.

Amen to that, Redleg. The Zen nature of this thread is a real joy.

iPad is working well R and B typing on it right now.

So all is well.

Ha ha the MFC beating Hawthorn I think you are at Starbucks right now.

Seriously mate I have gotten over the Dees.

Having spent five years of being irrelevant

I have accepted we are headed for the oblivion.

The only thing left is the time frame.

I am at peace

That last bit is the key, OD. Long may it last! Maybe one day we can sit near the old race, watch the Dees win and laugh about 'when we were crap' :-)

I hope we live that long mate!

It pays to remind yourself there is a lot more to life than a football team.

I doubt it Redleg they would need to first find the effort needed to climb onto the diving board.

And if they did, with their skill, they would fall off.

The Starbucks coffee was ok the banana bread tasted like stale cardboard.

Presumably you won't be back, then? Unless you prefer fresh cardboard ... :blink:

And if they did, with their skill, they would fall off.

Not to mention getting lost on the way down :)

Too right on both counts.

Well certainly not for banana bread.

I'd pick Viney (captain) as #1... because when he jumps in a pool he doesn't get wet - the water gets viney'd.

Followed by Yze, Robinson, Farmer and Howe for some theatrics

Then the rest would be our usual flops, Johnstone, Morton, Cook, Bennell, and Bate

Sub... Woewodin (got to have a 'star' in there)

For a coach I'd definately have MN for a bit of controversy... or a bit of inspiration for players to jump

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
