yep well said,there is nothing better than being rugged up in the paddock,freezing,dripping wet,mud on boots,burning loads of wood.

summer just drives me nuts with BBQs,beer,music,laughs,good company,and more fishing/cray fishing than you can shake a stick at.

Tend to agree with you R and B

In 1983 I spent February - March in the American North East a large part of it in Chicago.

Now that is a winter.

You know it is cold when first thing in the morning your tyres are frozen to road and it take 5 minutes driving for the flat spots to disappear.

Now that is cold. I spent about five weeks in Pennsylvania in January and February not long after that. but I think Chicago takes the cake for cold winters. I presume you had to dig the car out of the snow in the first place ...

Speak for yourself, but I don't touch the hard stuff, and I haven't yet got sozzled on cappuccinos ... :lol:

Don't visit that part of Canada

Thanks. Given it is the 2nd largest country in the world, I was hoping for something more geographically specific (although I suspect very cold parts of Canada are quite common).

I have friends who live in Sudbury which is about 3 hours drive north of Toronto while not among the coldest parts of Canada they do have -30C in winter.

Suggest you follow dc advice.

Go in Summer

Sorry Red I don't swing that way.

But a warm drink would go down a treat,

    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.
