    My country cousins called me  a Yarra when I was a kid. They were cactus. Maybe just a Romsey thing.

    What do you expect from a town with no pub! Say hi to Big Dee-Eye-Cee-Kay he who owns the old Duck Holes

    I'll second that!  From a day that began looking so bleak on the reports front, we have been hit with an avalanche of reports!  All been eagerly digested by Yours Truly!  Thanks, guys!  VERY much appreciated!!

    (The bar has now been set rather high.  Just gotta keep it up!  LOL)

    Happy to have helped Vagg. Like you I have always appreciated reportsand now know how much goes into these comments.

    I Will finish off by saying that I was also really delighted with the number of spectators who stayed for the whole session. Obviously a lot of demon tragics. I can't make many sessions and am unlikely to report again but can certainly vouch for the comments of the usual suspects.

    Perhaps Ian who is a regular reader could add some of his thoughts as he added some great comments at the ground and anyone who attends even if only one extra point that you witnessed from your vantage point all adds to the picture. And all goes to help us isolated few feel more a of the progress.

    Some absolutely fantastic training reports.

    A question to the likes of @Baghdad Bob and @DeeSpencer, how do you guys view Kyle Dunkley? do you guys see him making it eventually? He intrigues me the most because he came into our system with no AFL pre season behind him and i thought he showed promise.

    Training with the mids I believe?

    What a leap!

    Is that the ruck/goal kicking coach Stafford underneath him?

    Wow!

    Saty, with sports photography you'll need to take your camera off full automatic mode, use a fast shutter speed and use aperture priority mode.  Otherwise you're only hope is to fluke a good shot! :)

    I believe Saty has a small point and shoot camera. I believe the blurry photos are taken at full zoom from far away. This is not a critique of the camera or the method. Keep the photos coming Saty. When I squint really hard I can imagine what going on. :P

    No Spargo, no Kade Chandler as far as I could tell.

    "The Philosopher's Clone"

    Some thoughts from Aaron’s  famous German philosopher Uncle Fred are particularly pertinent to Demon fans.

    To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
     
    That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
     
    Will 2020 give us meaning for all our suffering?
     
    All who can read this are clearly not dead, but are we stronger?
     
    Aaron’s knee did not kill him so will he live up to Freddie’s words and be stronger?

    A huge thanks to all track reporters from a very cold Amsterdam.

    On that note AmDam, do you know anyone in the hunt for temporary accommodation? 

    Next week I'm heading to south Morocco for a couple of months. Hot-weather conditioning.  :)

    Just another voice of thanks for the great training reports. As an interstater I obviously can’t go watch training but even if I did I doubt I’d pick up on the detail you guys do. Awesome stuff.

    I’ve seen a few calls for balance in the reports - personally at this time I’m looking for all the reasons we’re going to be awesome. Reality may or may not kick in later, and that’s fine, but it’s not what I’m interested in in the off season.

    Just having a joke Saty! Appreciate all your reports and photos!

    Btw what's your early thoughts on Rivers?

    He's a good mate of my brother so I am following him fairly closely.

    Got to have a chat with him the Saturday after he was drafted and seems like a great kid.

    Looks a natural footballer, to join Oliver, Dunkley and Fritsch

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
