If anyone is going to the best and fairest tonight, could you kindly keep us updated if there is any word from PJ on Roos :)

I understand where you are coming from.........but I would not want my salary (when I was working) splashed all over the papers.....Players and fd's have the same rights as every day workers....Do they not?.....

Nor mine. Do shareholders get told what their executives are getting paid? Should they be told?

We are in a socialised compeition where the disparity seems to be increasing between those at the top and bottom.

Transparency over contracts would benefit the desire to even up the league.

Players can compare themselves to others and the underpaid players that Hawthorn are cramming in will look at what others are on at other clubs and ask questions and look to get market value - and that desire is what drives a good salary cap regulated league.

Players moving around, getting market value, evening the competition.

Anyone got a new rumour and if not can they make one up?

Paul Roos has flown out of the country where his missus is and will be coaching their hurling team which does not exist.

Paul Roos has turned down the Melbourne job to take on an even bigger challenge:

Leader of the Labor Party. Labor are hoping that with his sudden appointment as PM, it will help boost their popularity to victory on Saturday. Roos will be sworn in as PM and cast his vote simultaneously on Saturday morning...

Apparently he was on a 5am flight to Perth recently and also bought a mansion there. Surely an electorate there?

Hahaha Rebecca Black!!

I just uploaded a large section of my lunch!!

Thanks :)

On a serious note, would Roos use M Voss as an assistant? Reading todays Aged makes me think we could get a bargain.

I would love to see that, if for no other reason than the fact that the Lions unceremoniously dumped Voos to make way for Roos and now they might have the pleasure of watching their former coach and prospective coach working together at the MFC.

I don't get this need for grown adults to be close to the place where they grew up. I don't reckon proximity to Albury would have any relevance to his decision to relocate to Melbourne. That Melbourne is a much more interesting city to Perth would, however, probably be more of a factor - notwithstanding the career factors which I expect would be tantamount. Just my view obviously.

Given you probably don't know him that's understandable. I made that comment with some knowledge.

DC, I think one look at my avatar would tell you that I am not a person to be trifled with... deadly serious.

What is going to happen if there ain't no presser called tomorrow guys and gals?

Don't think I could live through another day like these last few.

It's not worth contemplating.

I'm struggling with this level of distraction right now but can live with it because it's during the work week. I will be very upset if the distraction continues through the weekend during leisure time.

I don't want to taking time out from reading to my son to check deemonland, but it'll happen. And I will hate every minute of it until the announcement materialises.

Relax, if not tomorrow over the weekend.

Confirmation of a Liberal Landslide and Roos to Dees would make an awesome weekend for me!!!!!!!!!!!

I urge you to hang in there Demon Ox. I imagine that living through another day like these last few, is one hell of a lot better than dying through a similar period.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

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