I'd like to see Goody reprise that pre season catch up with Mike Sheehan down at the Sorrento Hotel but with the premiership cup on the table this time.

Maybe because it's pre-season, maybe because it's a highly controlled environment, maybe because he's had a huge weight taken off his shoulders. Goody seems very relaxed, and more assured with his speaking.

Yep, a premiership will do that for you.

And there's no question; it's Two Twenty-two, not Twenty Twenty-two.

Still, a premiership in either will be just fine...

I'm not sure if any post could make this thread veer further off-course Timothy, but just imagine if Archbishop Desmond Tutu had passed away at 2.22 on Tuesday 22.2.22.

Veer? That was too good for it not to, Mr Stone, to be sure. Brilliantly unearthed, too.

Richie Benaud sends his best from the other side.

1, 1 was a race horse

2, 2 was 1, 2

1, 1  1, 1 race and 2, 2 1 1 2.

They do seem like very vigorous training drills in that video.

Almost the same, but this time he's trolling the pedants by saying "hone in" instead of the correct "home in".

Maybe he's getting them sharp.

I thought Goody wouldn't be around in 22. I'm a fickle fan but I'm glad he is still coach.

Gone from his job on the line to the club's most successful coach in close to six decades.

You got me thinking, Mr Stone; I realise I've been in the camp  muariesy's quip identifies. So, online I went, and Merriam-Webster there has detailed etymological discussion approving both for the purpose of saying (to use M-W's suggested confusion-avoiding alternative) 'zero in' on something.

Regardless, I'm expecting Goody's next update to refer to zero injuries or other issues, with skills and fitness being further honed, and all directed towards a home premiership.

Isn’t it strange how a lot of coaches have been on the chopping block then gone on to win the premiership. You look at Hardwick, Clarkson, Thompson. Their fans wanted them gone, their boards stuck with them and they all had dynasties. 
Hopefully we’re at the beginning of ours.

Yes, I did! Hitherto the only Miriam Webster I knew of was the dictionary.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
