Fellow Demonlanders,

I'm worried about one of our own. Old Dee has fallen victim of the hopelessness epidemic that befalls many of us from time to time. In old Dee's case I'm worried that he's fallen further than is healthy. I'm worried that he might not come back from this one without our help and support. He doesn't seem to respond to my gentle pokes and prods anymore. I think it's time for us to band together and help Old Dee see the light at the other end of the tunnel and convince him it's not just a train coming the other way.

I'm asking everybody to get on board and post a positive reminder to Ol Dee. Let him know just how much there is to be excited about as we enter the 2013 season.

Come on folks let's cheer the old bastard up.

I'll start it off.

Hey Old Dee,

Clark, Dawes, Howe, Blease, Byrne, Tapscott, etc. When was the last time we had a forward line with this much potential? The future is bright my friend. Next year we'll add Hogan to that list. I can barely contain myself!

GO DEES!

If anything should cheer him up it is most likely not to be seeing a player in an 'away jumper'! It makes our players look like St Kilda players!

Must be a mystical force in the universe. I was thinking of starting a cheer-up OldDee a thread myself today.

Old Dee, the last GF I was at was in 1964 so I could be as depressed as you. But cheer up, the wheel is turning.

Hi mate long time between drinks that is or sure.

Don't be too worried I am not about to fling myself in front of a bus.

If I was it would not be the because of the MFC.

It is the speed of wheel that concerns me.

With all due respect to Old Dee, at least he's seen a Premiership (or perhaps more than one?). I'm more concerned about the other x thousand supporters who have not had that particular pleasure bestowed upon them.

Spot on I have seen two that is a long way in front of many.

I actually don't expect to see another but would love us to win more than we lose.

I was there in 1964, although I was only 6 and don't really remember it. But don't give up hope. Another might be just around the corner. It's just that we don't know how far we have to travel until we get to that corner.

You're welcome - just bloody well cheer up mate!

This kid will be .................. (fill in your own positive/superlative adjective).

I'm more excited by his potential than Hogan and Viney combined.

All class and can kick goals.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
