I consume every video the club puts up on the website, & particularly enjoy the post-match presser. But does anyone else watch the Dave Misson injury update each week & get the distinct impression it's the absolute worst part of Misso's week?! This look is always on his face like 'Gawd, not this crap again', whilst Matt Burgan takes on somewhat of a Stevo-with-Malthouse-like trepidation to every question.

Then when Burgan asks him about Trengove & Petracca's progress, it's the ultimate low-point for ol' mate Dave... "AGAIN, no different to last week. They're doing stuff but they're ages away. I'll let you know when anything changes Burgo!"

I just take him (Misson) as not being much of a "smiler".

My wife feels sorry for Matty B. Thinks he needs a haircut, shave and she is worried he only owns one check shirt, which is in good need of an iron anyway. I ask her why she doesn't take as good care of me. I'll leave you to guess what response I get.

He is looking bad these days. You'd think someone with their gob on screen so much would take more of an effort with their appearance.

Like most of his work though apart from that.

Although I think he does a good job, I'd like to see more presenters on the website and not just Bergs.

Clearly the shirt is the admin uniform, given Mahoney is always wearing the same style. Chances are they own a few of the same thing.

(Nb. NOt sure if your taking the pizz, but I've seen his shirt mentioned a couple of times on here).

Injury reports are nine tenths BS.

I have thought this for many years.

They are designed to give nothing away to our competitors and keep supporters happy.

I have no idea how you achieve both objectives.

I never watch them what is to be gained.

On the subject of Burgo I think he does a reasonable job of what must be close to the hardest job at the MFC.

How do you come up with positive stories when the Team is crap for years on end?

Misson should grow up and realise there are thousands of supporters out there, including me, who would like even just a shred of insight in to what's happening with the players. Burgo is just doing his job.

His annoyance at it is obvious, and it makes him come off as a complete [censored].

At the risk of upsetting you we will win the flag before that happens

    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.

    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
