After Demetriou's glorious reign over the AFL and in particular the hugely successful push into Greater Western Sydney as well as the wonderfully orchestrated failed tanking investigation into the MFC, he has decided to turn his inconsiderable talents to the mother land and take on the Greek Presidency.

Apparently Andy is so impressed by his chosen successor Giligan McLachlan that he feels very comfortable relinquishing the reins of power over to his young protege.

"Really there's bugger all to do except sit back and count the cash. Even in my wildest dreams I could never have envisioned the outstanding success that GWS would become. Last year they regularly had crowds in excess of Three Thousand!" Demetriou said.

When asked what was his greatest challenge was during his time in power he nominated the MFC tanking investigation.

"I go on holidays in the middle of the season for a couple of months and that little ambitious turd Anderson starts a tanking investigation into the MFC. What was he thinking? What's worse is that it's based holy and solely on what numb nut McLean says and that old hag Wilson's vendetta against Schwab. I had to do something 'cos Fitzpatrick was breathing down my neck threatening to have my balls in a sling if this went any further. In the end I sacked Anderson and appointed the AFP equivalent of Abbott and Costello to head up the investigation, spread some BS about Haddad being a United Nations investigator of repute which the media swallowed hook line and sinker and then let the buggers [censored] it up from the gecko. Pure Genius on my behalf if I do say so my self. It did take a while to bury that crappy investigation, we had to look as if we were actually doing something.", he was quoted as saying.

For now Demitriou is looking to the future and job ahead as Greek President,

"I've had a look at the books and they seem to be in tip top order. As we all know the Greek economy is the powerhouse of Europe and now must look to expand it's influence within the region, I'm thinking Germany could do with a hand".

Greece's gain is surely our loss.

Greece's gain is surely our loss.

Sounds plausible O50 but I think Demetriou's antecedents were like the Toumpas family, Greek Cypriot.

Not only that but it seems that he's already tried his hand at politics over there because, according to Wikipedia, Andreas Demetriou is "a former Minister of Education and Culture of Cyprus."

My mail is that he will soon retire from the AFL and re-open his parents' fish and chips shop in Sydney Road, Coburg where it all started which is a risky enterprise because the area is now strongly inhabited by Turkish Cypriots who, for some reason, don't get on too well with their Greek compatriots. This should not worry Andy too much because he has the experience and the capacity to reverse engineer a negotiated solution to the problem and is tipped in the Fin Review and BRW to go on and make a fortune from his new enterprise.

Meanwhile, Toumpas will go on to become the AFL's most influential player of Greek Cypriot origin, winning two Brownlows (including the one he shares with Jack Viney in 2015) and playing in multiple premiership teams for the Demons before becoming AFL CEO himself on retirement. During his term as CEO he will oversee the successful three day investigation into Carlton's salary cap rorts of 2007-9 which result in the Blues' merger with cash strapped Collingwood in 2033.

T$ Vs Carlton - 85% TOG, 1 Kick.

T$ Vs Sydney - 81% TOG, 2 Kicks.

Haha, thats gold.

I heard he had a ripper of a preseason, and judging from this it's fair to say that T$ is running out games strongly.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
