thankyou - Jayden Hunt - it has been tough over the last 10 years to get your kids to love the Demons. 

Then along comes Jayden Hunt and the are now passionate Demons 100% on-board. 

Who do your kids love?

I've indoctrinated my two year old to nod and smile when I ask her if she loves Melbourne, and to shake her head vigorously when I ask her if she loves St. Kilda, who my wife supports. 

That's good enough for me at the moment!

My Daughter (13) has long been a Nathan Jones but is also rapt with Daisy these days. The 20 yr old Son is a big Max Gawn trajic and I am completely torn between my love of Jayden Hunt's speed, Oliver's handballing and nifty Nev Jetta for just being Nev.

I force my 4 year old boy to love the Demons.

If he doesn't, I don't feed him.

Believe me, it works.

hopefully he kicks a bag today 

The names 'Petracca' and 'Jetta' are addictive to little humans.

I was really impressed with how he lowered his eyes yesterday against St Kilda. He was hitting up the right target inside 50 where as previously he was pumping the ball long to 50/50 (or less) contests. I am not sure where he will end up however with his speed and improving composure he could become the 'outside' class that we are looking for to balance our midfield mix.

He was a lot better yesterday. It was the first time he didn't just bomb it long over and over. He was spotting up shorter passes to guys inside 50 which converted to scoring shots instead of 50/50 contests. If he keeps that up then he'll become an All Australian standard HBF or wingman.

Absolutely mate!

I must admit though that I'm as restrained as I can be - they have had the wood over us for a long time and her family has been pretty good about it, so I don't go too over the top.  I did watch the highlights with my daughter a few times and we had a few fist bumps and 'Go Dees' being said, so I'm pretty happy with that!

Apart from his obvious talents, I just love the kids confidence.

Beautiful to watch when he makes a run.

    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
