Rarely went out on Saturday nights and watched The Penthouse Club regularly. Great entertainment, I can't really explain why! It was a different era back then. Sad to hear of his passing.

    Live sport was very rare at the time.

    The Penthouse club with its cross to the live trotting was gamebreaking.

    Most sports were super protective of their live viewing audiences.

    The real game changer was the broadcasting of the VFA match of the day on Sunday.

    That's right. I watched the trots but of course I didn't bet. I was just a horse crazy young girl.

    Mike and Mary Hardy on 'The Penthouse Club' tv show every Saturday were hilarious. RIP Mike.

    Yes and they would cross to the trots during the show.

    “Could it be a draw Butch” Lost count of the number of times I heard that. He was good but not the best. That accolade rests with one just retired for mine.

      The Demons hit the road for their last practice hit out before the start of the 2026 AFL Premiership season when they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
