Winning the premiership last Saturday was a magnificent feeling - which will last me a lifetime.. 

However, just when I thought things couldn't get any better, our daughter today has had a baby boy, giving us our first grandchild.

The only downside is that due to Covid restrictions, we cannot yet meet this future Demon mid. (but may be able to come Monday, as some of our restrictions are about to be lifted).

Life really is good

Did they call him Oliver,  Christian, or Bayley?

They'd be choosing a retro name from the '64 team, in their grandad's honour wouldn't they @Neil Crompton?

Welcome to grandparentness, Neil.

Congratulations NC, I hope your daughter and the little man are doing well. Has he got a membership yet for next season?? 

Thanks ET. Both are doing good.

Membership will be a Christmas present, definitely.

Unfortunately, I had some of the gloss was taken off my week by a team of lowlifes. Got scammed to the tune of $9.5k, but at least I’ve been able to take my mind off the crap side of life, by watching replays on repeat.  Thanks for providing the joy Dees!

Some clown on my mobile giving me instructions to open my computer so that he could trace the person who had used my computer for illegal purposes!

NC you are about to experience the joys of being a grand father. Over the last 2 years our GD's have keep us sane and I hope the same applies to them. Good fortune sometimes comes in small starting packages.

These bloody scammers are everywhere. I received a call a few weeks ago from a mobile number I didn’t recognise at first, then realised it was my own number calling me. To say I was a little freaked out would be an understatement. So if you ring yourself don’t answer.

Okay.  I wasn't keen to derail this thread, but if it helps a fellow Demonlander to avoid this crap, then I'll regard it as a 'public service'.

Received a call on landline from a scumbag claiming to be part of an internal fraud team with my bank.  Said they were trying to catch an internal bank employee who was misappropriating funds. Convinced me to transfer funds to another account, so that they could apprehend the (bogus) employee 'red handed', and you can guess the rest ........ 

They had hacked my account and had all the details (including most recent transactions).  Extremely well scripted with relevant bank music and spiel when the 'phone was on hold, gave me their employee ID numbers, etc. etc.  BUT I shouldn't have been so gullible.

Beware fellow Demonlanders.

Please, please don’t say this. This is by no means due to anything you did. You were taken advantage of by a seemingly very well-organised, well-executed scam. This is 100% on them. 0% on you. 💕

    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

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
