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!!

    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!

    Gippy

    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!

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
