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.

For the last 12 months: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Currently back in Victoria for a month before heading back for another stint in Addis, so looking forward to actually seeing us play live against the cats with my old man (Geelong supporter). Been a long time since we played them at the G!

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.

    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.

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.
