Country vic - Gippsland.

150 k to a game.....

150 k makes for a long depressing drive home after a 440 sunday thrashing.

I feel your pain, northern country vic, small town called Murchison. Those drives home and the stop at Wallan north bound to feed the mini onedays can be very painful at times especially when all three get out of the car still proudly wearing their #4, 7 and 24 on their MFC guernsey.

Dont know where norway is,never been on a plane.

Also not sure about pig farmers.{Josh}dairy farmers are definitely smarter.

How does that work jazza ?

Pig farmers don't have to get up at some god unearthly hour to milk them every day!

They dont get to pull on teats.

They stink like old men{similar to yourself}.

They all look the same and its difficult to remember their names.{pigs that is}

They dont do what the dog tells them.{the pigs and the farmer]

Last but not least,a dairy farmer will be proud to introduce his occupation,a pig farmer says he is an IT expert.

Well lads , being of modest disposition, i hate to brag but I'm currently luxuriating in a 5 plus star resort near DaNang. The only thing football like is the pool which is about the size of the MCG. The pool itself runs down to the beach but the walk is a little too taxing for me. Solution. So I feign a disability and have a couple of the servants wheel me down. With a fan , umbrella and constant supply of the local brew.

I would have fitted in well to the colonial period.

Slept little Wahgunyah. I'm a pig farmer. Never been to Norway but I bet the death metal is good over there?

Actually the death metal in Norway is average, the Black metal is amazing tho.

I thought you were going to say that you rolled yourself into the pool ie. what they do in the logging industry in Canada and float on down to the beach.

Ethiopia must be an awesome experience.

I trust you are spreading the good news of the oval shaped ball to the locals while you're over there?

Bit hard at the moment with the World Cup going on ;) But on a side note, there are high altitude training facilities here that would surely be far cheaper to use than the ones in the US!

While you are home,without hesitation call AFL headquarters.

They love these stories and are quite happy to spend some money by sending a pump and 100 footies back with you.

My son did some volunteer work Os and the afl had no hesitation in giving some supplies for him to disperse.

Hmm, I've got a long list of stuff I want to take back with me already! But will have to consider that. I think there is some promo work happening in Kenya at the moment so who knows maybe they'll be able to ship something over.

Dc, I have off course used the palanquin method but it has some inherent dangers - if one of the lazy beggars crumples under the load the result can be very undignified indeed.

Try a couple of crow bars Bitty, that'll get you rolling. Make sure all your bits are securely tucked in first.

I live approximately 5kms from the MCG. Would love to live in the country though - had enough of city life.

I lived and worked in Zambia and the DRC for the best part of 6 years. Some of the things I've seen and experienced are quite amazing (and disturbing) when looking back at them.

I have no idea what you do there Ascobar (I was in mining) but some of the more satisfying things we did as expats were to visit childrens orphanage's of which there were plenty of. We'd take along a few bags of maize meal and whole chickens which as you would know makes up the main staple diet - along with Kapenta (dried minnow like fish). We used to take the Sherrin along as well and taught the kids how to kick and handball and eventually tried to run some training drills. It was highly amusing to say the least.

Such an amazing continent. Enjoy your time there.

    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.
