Hi,

I'm a longtime reader and first time poster!

I live in Gippsland and teach at a school in Sale and wanted to let you know that Jack Watts and Aaron Davey are currently touring around schools as part of a Toyota AFL Footy Bus. They are with Patrick Dangerfield, Lindsay Gilbee, Simon Goodwin, Chris Newman and BT hosting. Good for the kids to get up close to the players, get autographs and pictures with the premiership cup. Watts came out with arms raised and did a few superhero poses. He had a good laugh with the others as they all took the [censored] out of each other. I am sure you would be happy that I wore my demons jumper and fought kids to get to the front of the line to get both of them to sign it as well as a footy for my son. Both talked about how keen they are to work with the new coach and have a big 2012.

Great to have some Demons players come down but it does mean that they are not playing FINALS!!

My mrs is also a keen demons supporter and stumbled into Jack Watts in the main st of Bairnsdale in her lunch break yesterday. Rang me very excited! Great for the country areas this sort of stuff! Also good to have another Gippslander onboard!

Hi MD!

I'm in Traralgon myself great to see a good following of Gippslanders here on Demonland!

Back to the OP, I think these types of tours are a great idea. Especially being outside of metro areas as our contact with the game at it's elite level is usually left to what we see on TV.

Would be great if the Dees could bring some of their following our way. Melbourne Supporters in the Latrobe Valley seem like Hens teeth!

I teach in Churchill and the kids were pumped to get to meet afl players. One of our aides is a Melbourne lass and she nearly died when davey came out of the bus. I now call her the teenage groupie. Anyway jack came to us (in our Melbourne jumpers) and gave her a hug and shook my hand. Said he was very excited for the future. Also answered a kids question about the best thing about afl with something along the lines of, it's great playing with your mates and celebratingfterwards with your mates. Haha take that Tom scully!

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
