I'm only basing this on the videos, but they really need to serve/collect meals outside of the speeches. The continual *clink clink clink* of plates and cutlery kind of takes away from the stirring messages being delivered on stage.

Should have been named in leadership group when he spewed up over Scully in China.

That spoke volumes 

Volumes as in pints, litres, gallons?

I'm guessing it would take a lot to make a 6' 10" ruckman go the Linda Blair so you'd think the latter

A lot of season launches are usually fluff.
One thing I did notice that was different was how bullish PJ was. Up until now, he has been VERY measured but one sentence he uttered caught my attention:
'The rebuilding and restructuring of this football club is complete.'
With that one statement, he has put himself and the club on the chopping block if the rebuild doesn't yield results.

Absolutely right...It's foot to the floor time...

He got ride of an average high draft pick which we replaced with a quality young forward. I would say that's great leadership.

Interesting no Dawes again.

 

Probably have to play a few games each year before you can be considered.

Had a chat to Clarry Oliver on the night. I put it to him that his hanger against the Doggies was a ripper - to which he coyly replied that he "didn't even get off the ground."

Either the guy is seriously humble, or we have the next Nic Nat on our list...

 

He has shown a clear pattern of self-deprecating humour.

Is that humble? I guess so. Seems like a great kid who won't get carried away with himself. His hair & complexion will always bring him back down to earth.

    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

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    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’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
