Would love to watch but I have a commitment in Westminster.

We’ll be watching the other King hopefully also making a goose of himself.

Last year, I went and I would reckon we outnumbered their supporters 2 to 1, and that's with them giving away a free hamburger for every goal they scored

Confirmed Turner in for Hibberd.

Very happy for Disco. He's earned a call up ahead of Tommo.

Reckon there’s a good chance there are more Dees here than Suns. 

AFL should simply take away their licence come 2028, then we’d still have 18 teams.

I am full of excitement chook! Not sure which to watch Charlie or the Dees. No.1 wife will be keen on Charlie so might have the lap top on Dees with sound off as most weeks.

A free xxxx might have been more successful.

It's been a dreadful week for your poor old Uncle Bitter.

The Manor's central heating has packed it in and it seems there is no suitably qualified artisan available to repair it for about 3 years. Next the sound system on the cinema blew up and for 2 days subtitles became my friend. And finally, an unusual problem with the tandem trailer caused me considerable grief.

Currently I am alone and reliving something akin to the experiences of Shackleton et el. 

I do , however, have my ever faithful friend Mr. Shiraz nearby and he shall be my source of comfort and inspiration throughout the evening.

My second source of comfort will an inevitable Dees victory. Though I suspect it may be a hard fought win. The suns have a decent line up.

A strong midfield ( though no Took will hurt) and a decent ruckman who always competes well against Max. Max and Grundy though ,will overwhelm him. May is too strong for King and I'm glad Turner is getting a run. I really liked what little I have seen of him.

Dees to runaway in the end by around 30 points.

Don’t worry about the heating being in subtropical Romsey.

I'll stick with the Shiraz od!

Not sure I agree, a single malt with the min. temp heading to 3 would be my choice. Hmm tonight it might be three or four.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
