I got a few good laughs out of it... it's just standard comedy roast fare and all good harmless fun. Makes for a good break from the usual training regime which can't be a bad thing.

Funniest thing I've seen on footy for a long time. Good to break the routine for the boys. Let's just take it as it was meant to be received. Do we have to over analyse everything?

Think it was the late Dean Bailey that summed it up well one day by saying (impersonating the annoying voice of the man in question), "Hughesy, makes me wanna spewsy".

Can't stand Hughes, so it was never going to be a segment I raved about.

Hogan sitting in the back.

Confirmed signed with Freo.

As was Jones.... not leading from the front as any good captain should. Sack him!

I thought it was amusing. Was good to see the lads having a laugh and refreshing that the jokes weren't just focused on how rubbish we've been.

For what it's worth, he's a top bloke in person.

Actually I joked about that Hardtack, sat at the back from day one at the Club, same with Hogan, opposite with Tommy Mc always at the front

Not a big fan of Hughesy but that was very interesting.

Look at the problem he had - we stink and he was supposed to get some laughs at the players' expense.

So he said nothing about how we play and instead ripped into appearances and odd bits of behaviour - good line about Gawn - so I reckon it was cleverly crafted to avoid giving offence about what really matters, our performance as a footy club.

Should have kept it in house, where it belonged. I like good standup, but that was a Sportsman's Night.

He's going to do every club over the course of the season.

There was very little in there that was news to keen followers of the club, it's not like he divulged stories of our players breaking the law or up to huge antics like the glory days of sportsman nights.

We should be thankful we got some press by Hughesy doing ours first.

1.I refuse to watch the "Footy Show"

2. It amazes me that Hughes has a following. He is a remarkably unfunny comedian.

Yeah its school boy stuff...hughesy character can be annoying but there are a lot worse.... would you prefer Charlie Pickering instead?

Err .. well ... excuse my blissful ignorance but I have no clue who the said Charlie Pickering is. And ..PLEASE, since I have happily lived my life without knowing of this gentleman, do not bother informing me and thereby cluttering my already diminished grey matter with further useless information.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

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’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
