Hopefully @kev martin and/or @Demon Dynasty will be here this morning to furnish a training report since I’ll be otherwise engaged. My mission today is to waylay a rookie and glean the deets of this whole “mouse pack” story.

You’re all welcome 🤗

You and your waylaying of young men, WCW...!  Whatever will the club welfare officer do 😁

But in seriousness - red and blue in envy at those of you at training this morning!

How can you be sure I’m not waylaying the club welfare officer as well? 😎

I’d like a running commentary and then a detailed report on each player. In particular Viney and Oliver. Make it happen.

Yeah Andy, make it happen!!

You might need to attend umpire training and quiz former Demon and current goal umpire David Rodent.

I'd like to say I enjoyed writing my observations of training for you. Thank you for your support 

However this site has decided to fall on the side of the apathetic and/or misogynist. 

My post about domestic conditions were deleted, without any explanation. 

Somethings are bigger than footy.

Establishing a society with equal access to all, without oppression, ridicule and violence is important to me.

I will not post again.

Beanpole alert: Idk what his height is listed as but for Kalani White “very [censored] tall” will suffice. He’s 16yo, outrageously tall and still has a few more years to grow.

@Demonland, given the post above, can there please be an explanation given to Kev as to why his post was deleted? I’m sure all of us would hate to lose him as a DL contributor, and it’s certainly not like him to get upset over nothing. I didn’t see the posts at the time, and I don’t need to know what they were about, but I believe @kev martin does deserve an explanation. Thanks. (Think of this as a good-guy defence).

It was discussing a very important social issue, the surge in domestic violence toward women. Agree with Kev on the poor form censoring this sidetrack when so many others are deemed acceptable. Especially given part of the issue in this area is mainstream disinclination to engage in the issue…

Hey Kev, on occasion I’ve decided to ditch DL permanently for whatever reason. But I was given valuable advice from some beautiful souls here, that being to not sever ties completely, rather take a break of indefinite length. Come back when you feel you’re ready. It would be a crying shame to lose you for good. Please consider this. 💕

BTW, (Rare) credit to the AFL for shining a light this round on the ever-growing scourge that is violence against women. Clubs have been issued a directive to bring attention to the cause. Our banner tomorrow night will address this in no uncertain terms.

Also, just when you think you can’t possibly love BBB any more than you already do, he posts this on instagram…

I’m not going off topic since I thanked BBB for his post and told him I’d share it with as many people as possible, for which he was sincerely grateful. This was at training so I’m also not derailing the (training) thread.

I'd echo this. While some topics are difficult, and certainly the current gendered-violence crisis, as being addressed by the AFL in each of the games, is not easy to talk about - the discussion of culture/the actions of boys/men in the crowd is clearly relevant, and should be kept where it doesn't descend into personal attacks/legal issues. And I would think Neil should receive explanation. 

Whatever your view of this issue, it should be discussed. The argument that it doesn't mix with sports doesn't wash, because the AFL itself is incorporating it into the games (which I think is a good visible move, and sends a strong, united message to the crowd - although I think Brad Scott's comments re Tarryn were poorly timed and send the wrong/inconsistent message).

Thanks, WCW. I shared BBB's words, particularly his final two paragraphs, on my socials.

Love that man. Good role model. I hope the boys (and their fathers) are listening. 

Please send that man a big hug.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
