For just a moment I was thinking (read, hoping) Ian Hunter and Once Bitten Twice Shy, but a terrific song choice regardless.

The ball drop pics are especially fantastic and really give a good indication of kicking action/result during set shots. You can see JVR, Chandler and Kolts ball is perfectly straight with the leg, body and eyes lined up with the ball before impact. Kozzy's is still looking inconsistent where he needs to adjust mid kick potentially... But I'm no expert just thoughts.

Other observations which have probably been made by track watchers:

- Taj looks to have put on some serious muscle

- Windsor looks a pure athlete with long powerful strides and a beautiful kicking action

- I'm sure all players are wearing sports watches to track their running/heart rate etc. But during match sims it seems a little dangerous no? I've seen some horrible facial fractures from watches worn in physical sports. I sometimes wear mine but with a sweatband over it so as not to cause other injury playing footy and basketball. Just another thought.

David Bowie wrote ‘All the Young Dudes’ for Mott the Hoople. lan Hunter with the signature very dark shades was a singer with the band. Mick Ronson also was alumni, associated famously with Bowie’s ‘Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars’. Lou Reed’s ‘Transformer’ album etc.

Given the recent spate of gloom descending on DL, definitely got a buzz out of the boys “Taking Care of Business” on the track during Sixes slide show.

The half empty and half way to Hades fraternity could defer to the BTO acronym as Backman Turning (it)Over.

A slightly interesting (well, to me at least) factoid… the band I moved from Melbourne to Sydney to join, had a guitarist named Steve Ralphs, who, as it turned out, was first cousin to Mick Ralphs, guitarist with Mott the Hoople and then with Bad Company.

And now for a somewhat interesting sub-factoid… it turned out that prior to me being offered the spot in the band, he was a visa over-stayer and had been going under the name of Steve Fleming (which happened to be my family name), so he decided to revert back to his real name. The band didn’t last long after that, as the immigration people caught up with him pretty quickly and he was gone by the end of the year (1979).

And yes, the Bowie connection with Mott the Hoople was such a good story. I do think though, that Ian Hunter was probably destined to become a star regardless of whether Bowie had intervened or not… he was such a strong personality with the talent to back it up. One Bitten Twice Shy, like T-Rex’s Bang a Gong (Get It On) is one of the great songs of that era and I reckon would still be a hit if it was released today.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
