Addition: "Nothing to see here". Summarily dismisses any point of view as irrelevant - like you have the right to do so. Rating - 9/10.

Not even sure these are all cliches but ...........

"Our window"

"As the list matures"

"2013 will be our year"

"2014 will be our year"

"2015 will be our year"

"Games into our young list"

"He needs a couple of good pre-seasons "

"Talls take longer to mature"

"He's an outside player"

"2016 will be our year"

I love these:

'When he does a preseason he will.....'

'One of our better ball carriers.'

'Watts will prove that's he's better than Nitnat...'

'We should have taken Martyn at 2...'

'I trust the Club.'

'I trust the Club.'

Somebody probably said that the day that Norm Smith got the sack. It's almost 50 years later and that trust must be starting to run out.

(Enter year) is a make or break year for Sylvia.

"From all reports, Tom Scully is as fine a young man as you could wish to meet and a picture of honesty to boot."

Whatever. A picture of honesty painted by a blind dog with no legs, perhaps.

Anything spouted about politics or religion from any side or angle of those two topics is a cliche.

'I believe in Tom'.

lol

Very good.

Seriously though, if you are 20 years old and a Demon - I will believe you. But that says more about me than anyone else.

I certainly don't believe in the parents though, and now think that they are capable of anything...

But we move on.

It's not really a cliche but " Have a bex and a lie down " really shits me. Anyone under the age 40 has no idea what a bex is let alone taken one.

Having a bex and a lie down is one of my favourite pastimes!

Rhino Richards pulling you into line. So cliched and I hate 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.

    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. 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
