My 9 year old son, the only of my four that has any interest in footy, starts on a much different course to what I did. I was 9 in 1993 when we suffered defeat at the hands of the hopeless Swans for their only win of the year, and the flack I copped as the only Melbourne supporter at school was merciless.

Like how the current players say they’re not scarred from the past because they weren’t here for it, neither will be the generation of kids growing up in this era.

Sometimes it’s the big things that make the hole as well

take my backside for example

Ummm…………..when was the last time either of them had 39 touches in a GF? Oh that’s right, never.

Daicos was mercurial, but an extremely outside player. Martin is a glorified 1-way runner and doesn’t know how to defend to save himself. Trac has them both covered.

p.s - as for the little things, I always dreamt of knowing the feeling of winning a premiership…..I am now living that dream ❤️. The nagging and anchoring feeling of failure has been replaced with a contentedness and joy that I have never felt before.

Some say it’s just a game. BS………it’s the only game,

Keep in mind the context. BT was describing the difference between Petracca's two goals quite rightly pointing out that the first was like something Dusty would do and the second was using a style that no-one had seen until Daicos came along.

And for what it's worth, on their complete body of work I think Daicos and Dusty still have Petracca covered. Petracca does have time to overtake them, though, but to do so he's going to have to maintain his 2020 and 2021 form for the rest of his career.

Nearly two months later and something extra pops up to read, to listen or watch, whether it’s Goody on RSN, a Demonlanders joy, or even the player season highlights countdown, this season can never end!

I love Kayo mini’s, only ever 17-18 mins away from pure happiness everyday!

Then 100 points to 7 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 so fantastic!

Another little thing, I'm sure mentioned elsewhere, but at the end of van Rooyen's draft reaction video with all his family, at the end someone says, "Off to the premiers!"

That's us!

    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
