Demons on Toyota AFL Footy Bus

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!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
