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.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. 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. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
