My mad keen dogs fan mate worked on this book.  He was awarded the contract on the Monday after the GF.  He accepted through gritted teeth!!

    Yep, he did reflect on the joys and challenges of being a freelance writer.  Footy is footy but work is definitely w.o.r.k.

    Excellent. I shall enjoy it even more, knowing a Bulldog helped put it all together…

    Seeing how it wasn't a "Labour of Love" it is very well done. Tell him he can do it again for us this year.

    Mrs Dw loves it and I got to be in the good books for 30mins.

    After watching highlights of the match sim, I am fearful for the well-being of other sides. Hopefully they can seek counsel from friends and family after playing us.

    Careful, let’s stay humble.

    I honestly cant remember a year since 2000 where there was so little Pre-season training news. Cold Turkey this year.

    And, PF, we REALLY appreciate your reports and the effort you go to to bring them to us.  Just a pity there aren't a few more warriors down there who can help you out!

    Again PF I appreciate all those who write reports especially if they negotiate some Joe Blake’s on the way. 
    long drive from here to Casey. And I would need to arrange the required permits.  Or I could keep going up to the Gold Coast,  or further.

    all the track watchers. Keep it up! Cheers

    It's not the travel, casey or the snakes.   Its the bloody fence.  You are so far from the action without any elevation and looking through a cyclone mesh fence, it's so difficult to make out players and especially those half way up the ground.  Half have tabbards on so you can't rely on numbers either.

    The travel (for most) and the fence/distance is a huge deterrent. 

    I’m usually good for at least two pre season Training sessions but both those factors have kept me away. 

    The lockout and the MCG sized ground and better surface are the reasons we’re training there.

    I’m pretty sure he had both last year. He has a premiership tattoo on his other ankle (not pictured) that would be new. 

    EDIT: The mountain is new ie: after the Grand Final

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
