It's actually Garry Lyon

Ummm yeah I know that's what I said. I'll make it bigger so you can see the added r and struck through S

It's Garry Lyons.

I admit the bold on the second R didn't work so well. Let's move on.

Sorry found the strike out on the s hard to see with my aged eyes.

Dawes has been okay. Not terrific by any means.

Hopefully he'll be able to get on the park for most of next year alongside Clark and Hogan and THEN maybe he will be terrific.

I was driving through Richmond today and saw Dawes getting out of his car near Lennox Street. Looked to be moving very smoothly. Just thought I better report in.

I was outside his house and saw him banging his mrs and he didnt seem to be moving badly, Just hoping he doesn't pull a calf with his maneuvers

In all seriousness I hope he and Mitch can stay fit this season

Clarks one injury away from retirement

Every footballer is one injury away from retirement.

(BTW, there's an apostrophe in there … Clark's. e.g. "MJT's one obnoxious post away from being banned" is very different from "MJTS one obnoxious post from being banned".)

LOL

Don't tell me you mean the second one!

12 games for 12 goals.

Will the Pain I am in over supporting such a bad AFL team ever stop?

How many goals has Paul Roos kicked for the Dees?

Gary Lyons was a classic example of this! I hope that we don't have to endure another season of Lyons selecting against Melbourne every week in his footy tipping (serving to drive our player's morale lower than it deserved)!

I would hope that our players were professional enough not to be demoralized by one person's tipping, especially one with such an enviable record on coach selection!

I don't understand how fans can bag players for having injuries. Dawes has been terrific.

I shudder to think how much worse the player moral and professionalism would have been during the season if we didnt have Chris Dawes

the man is worth very penny

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
