Very interesting.

But when are those so-called media professionals who run these pressers, and especially the post-game pressers, going to make the questions that are asked audible?

Spot on Roosy.....free agency will make the competition less uneven! Makes a good point only 2 players didn't end up @ their club of choice pre free trade commencing!

If ant broke don't fix it!

How good is it to have a respectable voice on all matters AFL just so happen to be a part of our club? Roos brings us relevance in a time when we probably don't deserve as much. He also is willing to have a crack at anyone. I wish I could intelligently tell people they are tossers like he does.

He really owns these types of pressers.

Made very sensible comments on Clark and pumped up his value.

Was blunt about the problems in free agency - about as blunt as he could possibly be.

Was clear about wanting people who want to commit to the club and be part of what he wants to do and essentially couldn't care less about Chip.

Really, really good presser.

One point that came across to me is that a three way trade between ourselves,Geelong and C'wood is very much on the cards. We get Lumumba, Geelong get Clark and Geelong gives up a player or pick to C'wood.

Agree 100 percent - the media conference are obviously not run by professionals. Professional media would always require the questioner to have a microphone.

Another bit of sloppy work by AFL.

He only wants blokes who know the real meaning of commitment.

Hope we end up with players like Jack at the Swans, ready to die for the cause.

Viney , Salem, Cross, Tyson etc.

He'll get them.

Things looking up.

Was happy to hear he wouldn't give up Picks 2 & 3 for a big fish.

Interesting he mentioned Toump as one of the young talents on the list. A show of faith perhaps.

I did notice that, but also that he was mentioned last and almost as an afterthought after guys like JKH, who are obviously ahead of him in Roos's mind.

I thought it was more of a swipe at the AFLPA, BB. I think he'll be safe from the wrath of AFL House in any case.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’
