We got the TV for the Melbourne Olympics... it creeped me out. Noddy with that organ/calliope style music scared the bejeezus out of me, Tom Terrific, Torchy the Battery Boy, Sooty etc etc... you're lucky you missed out.

These were all my little brother's faves (which would put your age in the mid 50s). He moved on to Thunderbirds and then Dr Who.

I never did understand how those old crystal radios worked. But it was how I listened to the Brownlow Medal before it was a 'televisual feast' (with apologies to John Cleese and Connie Booth)

Crazy waste of money from CD and MC......cheaper just to dose up on mystery injectables.

I am hoping the club has volunteered to chip in but then again we are in a bit of a pickle.

I don't think it matters where you take the players pre season if you start off with boiled loolies they will never become Chocolates.

It is IMO as simple as the vast majority are not AFL standard and no amount of humidity / altitude is going to change that problem.

Great stuff... but I'm early 60's actually :-) I too moved on to Thunderbirds via Supercar, Stingray, Joe 90 and Fireball XL5 - Gerry Anderson was a genius!

Having just climbed Mt Fuji, if they leave now there won't be any snow for a while and it's 12,000 feet. It was good for a headspin while climbing, I'm sure it's good for recovery

Did that a couple of decades ago myself (and I am pretty sure it was around this time or a bit earlier - it was after I went to the diamonji festival in Kyoto)... my legs were screaming by the time I reached the top and coming down was terrible - that volcanic gravel is very loose so you slide everywhere and when it gets into your boots, the little effers are sharp and very uncomfortable. I think with all of the time I spent taking my boots off, emptying them and putting them back on, the walk down took longer than the ascent.

Kenya, Eldorat, now that is a place for high altitude training 9000' really gets the lungs going, fairly cheap. Loved playing against young fit blokes because after 15 min they would blow up, also when you play golf at 9k like at Limuru you get huge distance on the ball.

I was planning to camping in my house on the week end.

So I can show my true dedication to the Dees.

So, are you fit enough to slot into our midfield?

Over two decades have passed and the intervening years have not been kind to me LDC... so, apart from having the right height (at 188cm), I'm afraid that in the interests of my children growing up with a father, I would have to pass (well, fail).

    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.
