I have owned copies of both Right Said Fred's 1991 debut 'Up' and Prince's 1989 'Batman' film soundtrack.

I confess to following the MFC for 55 years and expecting them to win a flag in the last 50.

Only 55 years?

Same as me. (confession thread, right?)

We're not that old OD. More like Spring Chicken Dee.

1. I think at a better side, with less off field stuff Mark Neeld may have been an okay coach, not saying he wouldn't have been sacked, but i think he's better than his record reflects.

Speaking of MN, see he has changed role over at Essendon from Development to "Game Performance Manager".

Whatever that might be ... he cuts up the oranges?

10cc (Festival Hall) & "Shakin' Stevens" (at the Palais) ... ugh.

I once thought Tapscott was captaincy material ... never initially wanted Northey or Daniher and thought the acquisition of Neeld was great.

I used to have it off with Lady Penelope in the back of her Roller, regularly!

BBO we were both young and silly and besotted with each other, she an aristocrat, me just a young outrageously handsome and gifted international agent with special eyes as she used to comment. Yes there was this magnetism that drew us to each other but she wanted a no strings attached affair, I knew that just would not work for us, especially in the back seat of the Roller. In the end things just got too tangled and I had to move on. I was drawn to blondes and needed to explore my sexuality and developed another relationship this time with Alan but that never worked and his father banished him to Thunderbird 5 in outer space as I remember.

Awesome.

Swap the Batman for ABC's Lexicon Of Love?

It's a close run thing.

I just looked up 'Look of Love' on YouTube to reacquaint myself with their work. It is fair competition for 'Batdance' so I'm afraid I will have to defer my decision.

Damn.

I thought that Poison Arrow may have been the clincher!

I'm a chronic over-believer.

I think I've brought it down to a manageable level - I was only slightly and briefly disappointed at Toumpas going.

But maybe that's because I have too much faith in our recruitment/list management?

Probably my big 'sin' as far as being against general wisdom is that I still think each of Grimes, Garland and Watts have something significant left to contribute. Not 'heroic', I'm not going crazy here, but handy players. A lot of that is an instinctive reaction to the over the top hate-pumping coming from some.

What I can say is, I've never sprayed vicious bile at or about any Demon player.

I once remember the words " you could build a side around Mathew Bate" somehow escaping from my mouth.

Totally Prendergasted that one.

Bate-fides! The pideal tall, strong, contested marking midfielder who can also chip in as a KPP! Hurrah!

I believe he was the origin for the 'Curse of the 191-192cm Demon' debate.

Possibly he is also the ghostly figure haunting the minds of those least interested in Charlie Curnow this draft.

Convinced myself that Toumpas could play.

Said nice things about Mitch Clark.

Argued that Sylvia would come good.

Said Stefan Martin would never be a footballers' bootlace.

Believed Schwabby's whiteboard Wednesdays.

Convinced myself that Liam Jurrah was a clean-cut tribal elder that would be AFL's greatest story.

    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.

    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
