Just a minor point of clarification... the Maroochydore Open Day was on 16th January in 2016, according to my iPhone pics.

Yep, fan day was 16 Jan in 2016 according to my facebook records. The 2017 fan day was on 4 February.

Both were Saturdays so that kids could go regardless of whether school was back or not.

Anyway, I'm moving on. Obviously won't be changed now. Go Dees!

Looked to me like he was saying something like: "What's the matter with you, you big [censored] cat?  I hardly touched you!!"  LOL

WOW!!  The DL censor got me!! -- and butter wouldn't melt in my mouth!  Thought I was using a perfectly acceptable term for a cat!  (Starts with "P" and ends with "Y".)  Oh, my, what have they done to the English language??!!!    Mind you, I guess those of us old enough to remember the Pommie sitcom "Are you Being Served" would recall deal old Mrs Slocumbe getting into hot water for using that term for her cat, with the obvious other interpretation applied to that word by the male members of the staff...

BILLY Stretch's ability to push from end-to-end and transition quickly between attack and defence made him the standout during Melbourne's main training session at Maroochydore Sports Complex on Tuesday afternoon.

Very interesting... 

Not sure how many people would have Billy Stretch pencilled into their Round 1 22.

Dom Tyson's foot skills were sharp and polished;

A new 3 word analysis of Dom perhaps?

If Billy can step up and play a Gaff like role (that's his go) for us this season then that will be a huge bonus and a key component in how far we can go.

I hope he does go up a level. He fell away last year. I would love to see him be a bit more aggressive with his kicking and running. Take the game on a bit more

Maybe they wanted to keep him away from the boxing drills?

    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.
