dateline : October 9

The Melbourne Football Club announces the 5 year plan.

Spokesman Neil Nvoid told the three gathered at the presser that the New Board , The New President an the New Coach have formulated the way to success.

Neil then went on ( an on ) to outline how after much research and untold discovery the MFC is now on the road to finals.

When asked the direction the club will take he outlined the course to be taken based upon the new ideals formed around Wide-ranging Instructions Negating Negative Induced Non-responsive Generations

it seems we've been concentration far to much on Long Odds Systems Inducing Nothing Good

Now the offending characteristic of our poor form has been isolated we will now march fervently up the ladder

When taken to task about our past poor performances it was pointed out that past teams and administrations simply sucked big time.

Asked about the F word Neil responded similarly !! As to top 8 finishes, the official line was "well we take it all one week at a time, but don't go booking any holidays in September from here on in"

So there ya go OD...good as done mate !!

In Honkers en route to Liverpool via London and Manchester.

Could someone please briefly list all of the trades we've done before we board for Heathrow (about an hour's time)?

All our trading staff are either on an extended lunch break or been sacked.

So when happy hour is over we should have a trade or two but I think we also need some steak knives to sweeten our deals.

Got every British newspaper in the BA lounge and I see they haven't improved a single iota since I was last here.

Not a single word about trading and free agency.

Have we stumbled on the faceless men behind the dees

While RL and WJ are taking an extensive wedding break all trading done by MFC ceases

We can only wait to see the expenses claim for this wedding when the signed forms for the internationalised Demon recruits are lodged and amid a flurry of reporters their feet hit the tarmac at Melbourne

Keep it under wraps with coded talk of bananas while letting the mainstream press divert itself with imaginings of Buddys contract

The next headline

Melbourne surprises with foreign legion tipped to take flag

Newspapers for Poms? :blink: Reminds me of trying to follow the 1987 finals campaign from the UK. Almost impossible except by telephone calls home ...

And it's a very good morning from Liverpool, England and I have some sensational news for followers of this thread.

We now have our own poet laureate in the form of one of the great female voices in contemporary Japanese literature, Tokyo's own (and now our own as well) Banana Yoshimoto . The author of a dozen novels including Kitchen and her latest, The Lake was featured in the British Airways in flight magazine which I read on the way from London Heathrow to Manchester last night.

The sun's about to rise in Liverpool, the place we're staying at is right on the Mersey River overlooking the port. Can't think of a better spot to discuss Japanese literature and the fascinating developments of Melbourne's trade week over breakfast with Redleg.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
