It was a great listen. 

Yes, and more people should. Anyone who has read my posts on here would know I have a very low opinion of the "media". Neroli Meadows has me thinking not all media/ people are created equally. This is raw and honest interviewing without judgement or sensationalism for "points" (read clicks).

Ultimately a "bogan" from Frankston ( Somerville) can teach us all a lesson in humility, reality and acceptance. At the same time giving an understanding of the importance of support and appreciation of a situation. For clarification: I'm a product of "Dovfton" so I can use the adjective "bogan"  with some authority.

This podcast should be required listening , not necessarily for Dee's supporters but for anyone who is  battling with their  circumstances/emotions/ inability to move on.

On a very Melbourne FC point of view; I must emphasis the "Melbourne Way". Anyone who listen's to this podcast should be taken by the honesty and in turn support of a quality individual that results in a wonderful premiership player and a wonderful role model to show the way.

I played footy against Dfton, without fail a few lads would come down with the Dfton flu on the night before a game. 
 

Thanks I’ll have a listen, Meadows has always struck as good at her craft.

Fox made a big mistake letting her go - she’s a great presenter and always across her brief. 

No surprise that she’s fronting tournaments and events all over the world.

What are you trying to say? I only played juniors there but my cousin played seniors and went alright. Mind you it is the only place I saw mothers and sisters jump the fence. The club rooms were always an interesting place after a win. Yes, I went to school with the Henwoods

Some of the lads would be cherry ripe at training on Thursday to only have a mystery 24hr flu on the Friday if we had to travel at to Dovey. They’d be right for a few beers on Sat night or Sunday though… 

One the biggest punch ons over I’ve ever seen was with Dovey, finals at Caulfield park in 04, was mental.

It's interesting how the mind works. When reading the quote from Hibberd in the opening post, my mind got ahead of my eyes so I anticipated Hibberd was going to say, "Ordineroli speaking a premiership means the world but given everything I've been through and overcome - it means nothing much at all" - so, essentially the opposite of what he said. If he had said that, I'm sure we all would have understood, but I'm pleased he's found it to be such a positive feeling.

Ahhh yes Cards.  The chances of copping a fist behind the earhole or a swift one to the guts was pretty much guaranteed against those apes.  I remember the heavily tattooed McSweeney brothers as particularly nasty individuals.  I had to wait a whole year to repay the favour to one of those bustards.

In those days (early 80's) there was only one field umpire.  I just happened to play cricket with the guy who was umpiring my revenge game.  I played in the middle and teed it up with the umpire to look and see where my opponent and I were standing and then he would ensure that his back was towards us as he bounced the footy to start the game.  The ball was bounced and the objective achieved.  The umpire of course saw nothing.

You can only imagine what it was like in the 70's, oh the memories.

Interestingly MH said to the effect 'Best decision I ever made in my life was going to the MFC' (against the advice of family, friends and team mates).

Now could I say for nearly all of my adult life I have believed the exact opposite.

The MFC offered a safe haven.

Can’t thank you enough for recommending this Podcast. Great interview and a great guy.

The player we see over the fence, is of course 1% of the person.  And we only need to see that 1% to enjoy the game, but it’s lovely when you have an insight as offered here. 
 

And no matter how errant be the kick, the handball or the decision…. I will NEVER boo this guy, ever!!! Make that never boo any one.  My private list of exceptions will remain private!

    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
