Feel free to plug anytime you want. In fact we'd love to have you on the Podcast in the new year to discuss the book and other depressing Dees related stuff.

Thank you, and it would be an honour to tread the same stage as Jako.

Oh we won't be talking to you on the same phone as Jako. That phone has been retired and is in a hermetically sealed case.

wow what's the point too much negative stuff in the world to depress ones self, why not wait until we make finals so there is a happy ending. Richmond got a writer to write about the 2016 season, but once it looked like a bad year the scraped it, is the book a blame game?

Has the final chapter been written yet?

seem a little premature...

Covers the 2007 - 2016 decade, so either the final chapter is in the sequel or it will be like Star Wars and just keep plodding along forever with no end in sight.

As for concerns that it will be too negative and you may end up your head in the oven, I can assure you it's all done in the best possible taste.

Final chapters can be hard to write. I say that in all seriousness. It would have been nice to write about an Elimination Final during 2016. But the story aint over yet...

i admire you writing about such a dark and chaotic decade

Indeed it would have, just because it would mean we made one.

But at the same time I think losing by 20 goals was a fitting farewell to the #fistedforever decade.

I think the final round of 2017 fitted in brilliantly with the era of #fistedforever.

Considering $cully will probably tip us out in R23 next year brace yourself for a hat trick.

A Phantom Menace style entry could be in order.

    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
