I remember speaking to him some years ago at a function or AGM or something at the G. Nice bloke. Good tough footballer.

He use to host one of the function rooms at the G for all of our home games. Possibly there?

Ian Thorogood. 

I would imagine he has some interest in Weid playing well.

Howe walked out on us. not a list management decision

and do you remember how average Dunn was in the last year or two with us? He was slow, regularly beaten and was dropped despite our average defence.  I admit I have been surprised how well he has gone at the pies but he would not change much if he was at the Dees now

He was given a helping hand and it backfired when he didn't want to go to GC. 100% a list management decision.

Get a haircut and get a nice sheen
Clean your act up and don't drink caffeine
Get it together like your big brother Ian
Get a haircut you damn drama queen

 

 

No .... reckon it must be different Thorogoods.

Two years at Carlton and not a bad W-L record (29-14). Coached the u19 Demons after he finished up there. 

I can remember the U19 coach....great man.

You can choose to join another club and let the MFC know via a written letter and cc the board

Careful timbo - I was condemned recently as a fair-weather band-wagon jumper for not knowing of some MFC bloke who was recruited thirty-odd years prior to my earthly emergence - by all geriatric reports a true champion of our club - despite having comprehensively researched and incorrectly concluded last year that Tim Smith was our staggering first ever inclusion of your name-sake. Some other guy named Tim briefly played for us in the 20s apparently (from faulty memory) - which I'm sure those castigating parties from the comparative 50s fan-club knew absolutely every last detail about.

Lewis may well be telling the kids exactly what to do and when to go, but if they are not following his instructions during a game, that is not the fault of Lewis

Lewis can't follow his own instructions these days. Just too slow to get to where he needs to be.

    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
