I commenced the Brayshaw Bros Xmas day 100x100 Classic at brother in law’s getaway farm Christmas last. Slight uphill (4%), gravel, HOT. About 30 in wifey (Collingwood , be kind), came up for a status check and to convey some feelings which indicated a less than celebratory disposition toward my newfound Christmas Day tradition. I had to agree and confirmed I would shift it to Xmas eve or Boxing Day given it would consume nearly 2 hours with a 100m return walk shuttle . YMMV with back to back flat country sprints

Thanks @Deemist, that's a cracker of an interview/podcast.  Probably the best one I've listened to in a while.

Maxy take the [censored] out of T Mac at times and has a tongue in cheek go that he's a [censored] bloke, but I think the opposite is actually true and that Max actually really rates T Mac.  He's just such a down to earth country bloke at heart.

Loved the numerous intelegent insights into life as a AFL footballer, the days after the 2021 GF etc.  Particularly thought his take on the stand the mark, the 666 rule changes and ANB / Spargo roles and running were great.  Stuff about Mark Neeld was also pretty interesting.  All of this has probably been said/rumoured before, but if you want all this crammed into one 60min interview by someone who can accurately and articulatly explain it all, then this podcast is well worth the listen.

My thanks also @Deemist, it's a long listen and perhaps one for the car but I found some great insights. The ANB/ Spargo comment illustrates how some of the judgements of pundits on here can be so off the mark. The fact that ANB & Spargo didn't kick as many goals as some would like doesn't mean they will be replaced anytime soon if they are injury free and performing their role.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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
