most players in attendance , was a great few hours , all players happy to have a chat and talk to everyone 

Gus sat with us and pulled up fine from his run at Casey , we spoke about breaking back into the team this year , very fine young man 

sam weideman  also sat for a chat and loves playing at the Dees and is trying hard to convert his grandparents over to the Dees

Jordan Lewis , was more than happy to talk too

my 6 year went up to nearly every player on his own and got them all to sign his jumper as did his sisters

Great pic 'markc'!

Out of interest which player does your family sponsor?  It must be a real thrill for your kids to have a player they have a special connection with.

Did Lewis hold on to his snag or drop it on the floor?

He dropped it and then dived on it when Jarman Impey tried to nab it.

Great post mark, glad you and your family enjoyed it.

Wouldn't worry about that. When Todd was coaching Echuca he turned up on crutches and was so furious at how the team was going at half time he threw them away and played the second half.

I was also at the Player Sponsor BBQ and asked Viney about crutches.  He said it was all OK, part of then plan and was only about keeping the weight off.  Later on, I saw him walking around with both crutches in his hand.

Btw MarkC, I saw your little man get Oliver's signature on his own.  My 8 year old boy was far more shy.

The players were magnificent.

It must be a drag having to roll up on Sunday lunchtime and chat to fawning fans, but they were so polite and friendly.

My 15 yr old daughter got photos with about 6 players who were all so kind to her. She even got a photo with her future husband.( J H!)

Jack Watts  and Trenners are such charmers! So patient!

Does your daughter have a genetic predisposition for lowering her eyes?

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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
