Mitch is gone. the writing is on the wall now guys. i was really optimistic until 3 weeks ago. Im reading between the lined and the font is bold. I expect a mid season retirement announcement ' due to ongoing issues with injury'

It was just announced during the Richmond v Gold Coast game that he is on leave from the club because of health issues so your probably right.

God we can not catch a break.

He has been injured for a season and a half now all of a sudden at the season opener he want to and I'm just quoting what Richo and the boys said after the Tigers V GC game "to take a break from footy to face some demons" .

I hate to say it and I hope Im wrong but that sounds like his heading home to think about continuing playing football.

Life's a [censored]!

For him or us?

Us? We'll lick our wounds, treasure the memories and watch Hogan up forward instead. If it's not Clark, it's a promising kid like Fitzy or Watts who gets a go.

For him? It's his life, passion and livelihood. A true predicament.

Unlike some of you, I can't get excited about Fitzpatrick. Or Watts for that matter.

I'm not excited about Fitzpatrick but I have an expectation that he will be a serviceable player who will maybe throw in the occasional really good game. He has to hold his marks up forward and unfortunately he has a tendency to be a bit inconsistent in that respect.

Watts; well who knows, I think he'll always be the type of player who will do well when those around him are, but if they aren't; well I wouldn't expect him to lift them.

I still fully believe a year in the forward line and Watts could snag us a good amount of goals, he lacks the physicality to be a mid

I didn't go to the commencement dinner.

My smart arse remarks cost me big time.

I'm up in Port Douglas enjoying the company of my beautiful wife.

Getting ready for Dinner at Nautilus.

Weather is a mild 31.

F1 just finished well done Ricciardo on the podium finish.

Nautilus; isn't that the really expensive restaurant on the hill running up from McCrossan street?

Yes it is.

Such a beautiful setting in the Rain forest.

Food was amazing, wine was as all wine should be.

Service was spot on.

The stroll down the path afterwards was a little difficult.

Recovery session today. Then off to Harrison's the French Restaurant Tuesday night.

Flight home Wednesday. The good lady will go back to work Thursday.

Duty calls for me, I must attend a lunch with mates at the Magpie & Stump at Wandong.

Chicken Parma, salad and chips would be my guess.

Life is pretty good even after some smart remarks.

All I need is a win at Etihad, pie and chips and it tops off a great week.

I saw PR's and GB's speeches posted on the site.
Did anyone read what they were saying as a bit of a 'warning shot'?
Lots of talk about quiet boards and football being about the on-field product.
I remember Alan Stockdale was quite anti PJ for a while there (or at least the powers he was being given) and was threatening to go to an election.
Or maybe it was more a general comment. Ever since 1996, I can't remember a time when some political ticket or off field personality didn't take precedence over the actual playing group.

I've been up there a few times and been frightened off by the pricing but maybe next time I'll give it a go.

Sounds like you've got a hell of a week ahead and I'm starting to get worried about the Etihad game so I hope that doesn't put a damper on it.

I think you would have enjoyed the night it was the best one I've been to in many a year, as Roos said all about the players and a great setting looking out over the G, hope they have all the functions there in future, it sends a shiver up your spine looking out over the ground.

I'm getting to the point where I no longer can; imagine winning games that is.

I don't think my imagination is much better.

Unfortunately I think it is another year off.

The closer we get to the start of the season the more injuries we seem to have and the less likelihood we will win our opening game. We seem to be falling in to the usual scenario with our better players off the park.

I wonder if when Roos took on the job he would have envisaged the list being decimated as it has been, his statement the other night that he was happy with the list may have been accurate at the time but is it now.

    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
