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: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
