Some of them make a lot of money, but there is no doubt the wear and tear on the body is a huge sacrifice. 

A life long sacrifice. 

I was talking to Robbie Flower one night and he could hardly get off the couch and he said it was just as hard getting out of bed in the morning. 

Its a reminder of the physical toll of AFL footy and a reason why we should never call players soft.

Add : Oscar Mcdonald . He had an operation on his Hip which is why he was not at the B&F

There was a bloke doing a bloody good impression of him then, check out the Roaming Harmes clip, with Gawn

I didn't see him at the event, guess he was there at some stage if he is in the clip.I was chatting to T Mac at the afterparty who said he was not there due to operation on his hip, probably left B&F early.

Sydney should pick up the tab on that one.

Reminds me of the old joke about the guy who went to have a haircut while at work. The boss told him he couldn't do that. The employee said, "Why not? My hair grows on company time". The boss replied, "But you only work 8 hours a day". The employee said in response, "That's why I only asked the barber to shorten my hair by a third."

Injured while doing battle for the MFC. MFC picks up the tab. It’s not a difficult concept.

If May or Kolodjashnij are having surgery, should we pick up the tab? (Hint: the answer is no.)

Said in jest mate.

I know full well that's an MFC responsibility.

Sorry. Someone else said it with an entirely straight face earlier in the week. ?

Pretty amazing we got as far as we did when more than half of our best players in finals have ended up having serious post-season procedures.

Can imagine Barrie, was not suggesting the chronic injury problem only applied to AFL.

Many blokes I know who played in the Ammos for any length of time have arthritis or hip replacements in middle age. 

Same for country footy, but most blokes in the country just limp!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
