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:

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.

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!!

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.
