Congratulations WCW .... I became a grandparent just over a year ago. I can certainly recommend it.

My daughter is a Demon (of course). We watched the GF together. And one of my most treasured photos is of the 2 of us with the Premiership Cup. However her husband is Carlton, and he's more 'into' footy than my daughter, so my beautiful granddaughter will be a Bluebagger.

It could be worse ... filth, Essendon, Richmond, Jee-long ... (I'd forgotten how many teams I really hate.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my granddaughter’s first AFL season!  My daughter first broke the “ I’m pregnant” news by showing me the demons onesie size 0.  She now also has the little the demons jumper my mum knitted for her (my daughter), which has been waiting patiently worn by a teddy for 28 years.

Here’s some positive news: this Sunday there’ll be a sea of these behind the goals…

We’ll put a splash of red on them and will wear them while banner-raising as well as for the entire match. (31 degrees on Sunday so we’ll likely need paint-scrapers to unstick our hair from our heads 😅)

Unlike the Carlton cheer squad, (who looked amazing in their Blues Brothers suits), we don’t have to fork out $165 per person to look great. 😁

Also unlike the Carlton cheer squad, in the event of a loss, we won’t look silly, which is how they would’ve looked had they lost. Because our accessory isn’t for S&Gs, it’s part of the celebration of the career of a much-loved champion, it could never look silly.

And in case anyone’s wondering… HELL YES we’ll be wearing them again on KB. 

 

Absolutely brilliant WCW ❤️💙

I had to get over here, they’re being nasty about TMac and Brown over there!

I’ll allow you to park yourself here for now coz that’s a great reason to not be over there. Poor Tmac and BBB cop it so much… it does my [censored] head in. BUT…

You MUST behave yourself! One even slightly negative comment and you’re out! K? K.

So I think this is the sort of good news story this thread is about:

What champion bloke.

Said it in the other thread, that alot has been stated about our culture, but the media should have a good look at this bloke and see what character and culture is all about.

Watched him in our practice match against Richmond and thought he's clearly too good for VFL.

Best of luck to Marty on Sunday and hopefully there is a great second career in the making here at the Demons.

Worthy wearer of the No.27 too - love that he's got that number which has belonged to some great MFC defenders in my time as a supporter.

How good to see the club having players leave on terms where they are happy to be back again.

I don't know why he left or was not renewed but having a player return is a big tick in my book.

Apparently reluctantly we made the call as part of the COVID playing list cut backs and Marty was overcoming an ACL.

Thanks WCW, I like this thread.

I'm absolutely positive of all of the following:

- that we win the flag this year

- that the DA will win the best cheer squad award this year

- that Maynard is a [censored]

- that Eddie is a [censored]

-that BT is a Richard , with a capital D.

- that Robbo needs to sign off

- that Gus Brayshaw earned and deserved a better way to end his career, and for that, once again, Maynard is an absolute [censored]

Blue sky outlook 

Round one 2024 

 

1. Petty back in Casey 👍🏻

2. Marty Hore back at MFC and his first game after 1667 days. Was very good. 

3. Clarry.  What a star. ️. Burst through the centre and knew he was back. Looked strong.   We love ya Clarry 👏👏👏

4. Billings.  Jack was back.  Had a perfect game as the link into the forward 50.  He’s not a brute but he’s what we need. A connector.  👏👏👏

5. Max Gawn.  Bounced back. Best English to reclaim number 1 ruck mantle. 👏👏👏

6. May. Lost the first contest then bounced back to be captain in defence. Marked or defended everything. 👏👏👏

7. The voltaren worked for Tmcd and BBB. Both contributed today. Not great but not carried by any means. They can come back next week. 

8. Winning at the G again. After the finals losses, we needed the win !!! 

Go Dees. Let’s run the positive but make sure it’s not just corporate spin !!!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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
