sounds like a 4-6 rest for you od, but i'd check with the richmond doc first :lol:

Well 24 hours after the injury dc you will be pleased to know that I am progressing well with my recovery program.

Walking this morning without pain but still a tender knee cap.

I am confident I will be fit for the match before the end of the week.

So obviously you elected not to try any remedies recommended by Mr. Fence.

Good to hear, I assume you are off to the old world old dee. If so, I recommend the bullfighting in Espana.

Madrid, Seville or Pamplona are all recommended.

To SEA actually Ernest so I doubt i will see any bullfighting.

At the planning stage I told No.1 wife we cannot go till after the Saints game.

Hmm that looks a good decision at this point. However the Knee is 90% today so all on the up.

Great game, this club gives me so much joy.

Horses for courses seems to be the topic. Mind off footy for the moment. Which well known horses performed better on tracks like Flemington than that of the tight circuit of Moonee Valley? And conversely, which horses suited Moonee Valley to the bigger tracks?

Was Sunline a MV specialist?

I know Makybe Diva preferred Flemington.

The best horses though thrived at both/all tracks, when they had that extraordinary engine, power. 

 

 

When we look at St.Kilda, when they're on, they're definitely on. Their game against the Hawks proved that - good formline. I knew it was going to be a battle to win. They have a well planned and astute coach, who would have noticed our efforts down back against Essendon causing mismatches. 

We need a better organised back six. And I believe we missed Olivers clearance work and thought so last week.

To be honest, the venue is just an excuse for mine.

Biff you should go. The senoritas and their lithe and fluid bodies are something to behold.  However, they can be very demanding and temperamental so moving from place to place is an advantage. No need to learn the language only the language of love.

Sheeeit....!!  Uncle Bitters, Biffo, Daisy Cutter, Maple Dee, Old Dee maybe one or two others and yourself Hemingway as "Forward Scout" would appear to be a great party of eclectic visionary travellers!! When do we leave!????

An end of season trip ? My experience of tour groups has not been a positive one picket, mainly because of different interests and expectations. I suspect Biff and Bitters and even your good self may have some differences that would make group travel a little testing.  Also, I like to rise early in the morning so that in itself may be a problem in stirring the others from their beds or bordellos. Bitters specific peccadilloes would worry me a little. Spanish jails are not places I would recommend. Perhaps Earl may be interested in putting together a tour itinerary using his contacts to get the best deals. There are some wonderful old castles with dungeons that may appeal to some members of the party. Earl may also be useful in acquiring cheap  licquor. I am happy to act as a forward scout and that way l may be able to leave names and addresses of the more sociable senoritas and indeed those who would be sufficiently robust in the clinches for Bitters and Biff. As a forward scout it may be difficult for me to actually meet up with the touring party but that may be an advantage when the Senoritas discover that i have moved on. This would then allow members of the group to fill the void left by my rapid departure. Anyway, it's an interesting proposition as a cultural experience. Let's see what Earl and other members of the tour party think. One has to be careful not to upset other Demonlanders who may also want a guernsey.

Hmmm. Does D'land have a seconds team?  I might deliberately run into some poor form to ensure I'm dropped or 'managed' so as to get on the reserves tour group.

Exactly. That's D'lands Firsts team - The Eccentrics.  I'd like to see someone post the lineup here one day.

What I'm looking for is a place in the Seconds - not eccentric, just NQR.

Interesting and if I may add a "Social Comment" I have often been refered to by friends, relatives, peers, enemies as a 'Different' cat!

So be it! the world is full of acolytes who do nothing to create interest. Whilst not talking about Maelstrom ( no it' s not an Uncle Bitter after shave) I like variation to the norm as long as it doesn't rattle my cage harmony!

Maybe I am NQR and or Eccentric! Many on this site also might agree not just me but see the Esoteric in themselves!?

I think this Thread really is the most interesting on Demonland. Wierd, Wonderful and Wacky ! Just the way I like it!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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.
