I feel little sympathy for a few posters who are posting here in the present tense rather than the original threads intent. 
 

Sharp as bowling balls. 

Not interested in him but very interested in what approach Eagles will use to get out of their present doldrums. My guess is that the Eagles Board will have set finals in three years as the minimum measure. Like Geelong they are not used to losing year after year.

Trade season could be very lively this year

It reminds me of our 2009 draft with Sc##%y and Trenners.

had another blunt and can’t recall my amazing analogy whatever it was.

Such a classy move by the AFL to sell the sponsorship rights to player retirement announcements.

Maybe I should do the same thing on Demonland?

Yep. Insane thing to do, and all the more nuts because he was an otherwise very reserved AA wingman. He might have even qualified for the AFL “Good Guy Pass™️” if it was seven years later.

Bradshaw was 18 years old. Smashed jaw and dislodged teeth, in tears with so much pain he wouldn’t let them pull his mouth guard out. Poor Mrs. Brayshaw has had to deal with a lot watching her sons play footy. 

I read an interview with Andrew Brayshaw, who wanted it known that he’d forgiven Gaff (who incidentally grew up a Dees supporter). In a very eerie coincidence, Andrew Gaff arrived at Andrew Brayshaw’s house with an apology and a bunch of flowers. 

At least he wasn’t mentally-busted enough to bring wine though.

Yep. A shame. Dominated the wing like Langdon picking up 30+ disposals every week for a decade but will be remembered for one terrible moment that he clearly regretted instantly.

He was probably genuine ….and wasn’t just  trying to avoid suspension.

Brayshaw was being a pest & illegally holding onto Gaff & stopping him going past. Not an excuse of course but I can understand Gaff's frustrations. If Brayshaw had done that to Ray Biffin or Ditterich things would have been really ugly.

Yeah, I’d say a busted jaw and several dislodged teeth fits the description of “really ugly”.

Gaff barracked for the Dees. Unfortunately we lost him to the eagles and somehow couldn’t get him back to the MFC.  Overall he had an excellent career at the Eagles. 

Indeed he did. His mother was a Demon, father a Tiger.

FWIW my son + Andrew were friends at primary school. We (me + son) went to many matches at the G with Andrew, his younger brother + mother. He was quiet, nice boy. He was (and still is presumably) intelligent, so will no doubt have a successful post football career.

I tend to agree (and would like to think) that the hit on Brayshaw was an ill timed whack. Cost him a premiership medal.

Heard exactly the same stuff Winners. He went to my secondary school. Unassuming and a good lad.

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
