1. BT just after Daniel dumped Gawn over the boundary line with "Daniel and Goliath"

2. I don't know his name, but on the Indigenous radio call of Petracca's second goal which he described as "Daicossian"

But my favourite of the lot on the Seven coverage, and I can't remember who said it, or exactly when in the last quarter (probably around the time of ANB's goal), or even the exact words, but to the effect that the players can enjoy the rest of the game because they know they've got it won. Those words gave me permission to stop worrying, too.

I liked Gerard Whateley’s description of Sparrow’s long goal.

” It was up at Sparrows and just kept going “

Right up there with Chris from Camberwell 

I remember he tried to gatecrash joeboy’s three word analysis with a three minutes hate version.

He will not be missed.

Probably the wrong quote to use to continue  that conversation.

I was referring to Dr. D.

Uplifting references to Neale Daniher's saying, "When it's all said and done,  more is said than done!"

I don't get this quote.  'more is said than done'?  Doesn't that mean there has been more talk (said) than walk (done).  So we've talked the talk, more than walked the walk?  Which is not what you want to do.

Don't get it.  Can someone enlighten me on this?  What penny is not dropping for me?

I think you'll find that what he means is that people are prepared to talk about a hard challenge but aren't always prepared to do what is necessary to achieve a successful outcome when hard work is required.

Thanks LDVC.  But I still don't get it.  🤔

Surely it is meant to be, 'when all is said and done, more is done than said.'  See, this is not confusing.  Makes sense.

Anyway not important.

If more were done than said, the people who get things done wouldn't be so valuable.

The MFC got stuff done this year - on that we can all agree.

Petracca ... PETRACCA! ..... Christian Petracca no way.

I must be the only one who thought the call of "bang, bang, bang" was garbage. The entire broadcast failed to match the excitement of the game itself. 

I thought they were a terrible combination.  BT is horrific.

    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
