I heard that, it was during the SEN interview with Dwayne, and I was surprised because everyone at the Club calls him Leb, including the coaches. He told me no one calls him The Duke. Maybe deep down he’d prefer The Duke. 🤷‍♀️ 

Mmmmm.  The Duke of Windsor didn’t really commit himself to his job to the extent required of the modern AFL player, especially what we want of any Demon player.  He was distracted by outside influences that affected his performance.  
However he did I guess have quite a few Demons of his own.

    Thanks for the effort to get there again WC.  Entertaining stuff and a great read, even the DL hoopla 😄

    Kudos on the Bowey scoop.  Hoping to make the next one.

    If you're going feel free to PM me with any coffee preferences beforehand!

    Well ya kept this quiet! Where were you 11 hours ago? I could’ve used your help when I was floundering. We could’ve avoided “four pages of outrage” to use the words of MoonFace or Moonboot or whatever his name is.

    Kidding, of course. It’s great your kids had such a fun time getting autographs and pics. Enjoy the rest of your visit to Melbourne and especially a win tomorrow night! ❤️💙

    🙋‍♀️ I’m right here, you know.


    JK. 😁 I started this thread because there was nobody else reporting from Gosch’s. I make a point each time of prefacing a training report with variations of ‘I couldn’t do a training report to save my [censored] life.’ I’m not the cause of the angst. No, the angst stems from a poster who whinged about the lack of an insightful report, and worse still, the goon who applauded it. And now some old bloke I don’t even know is whining about four pages of ‘outrage,’ yep outrage that wouldn’t have happened HAD THE WHINGER NOT WHINGED AND HIS GOON NOT APPLAUDED IT.

    Geez Louise. What a shemozzle. A fiasco. A debacle. Call it what you will, but ima do the exact same thing next week if for no other reason than to get under the skin of the old bloke, the whinger, and his goon. 🥳

    "Goon"

    "Moonface"

    Pull your [censored] head in WCW.

    There's having a debate and disagreeing with people, and then there's you who constantly gets personal like this when someone remotely questions anything in the slightest that may differ to your opinion. 

    Not once did anyone get personal with you but here you go again showing your true colours. 

    Some people like to come on training threads purely for the footy content and some like to come for a bit of banter, that's fine. If some prefer either then absolutely fine, there is no right or wrong way about it.

    Why you feel the need for name calling is absolutely beyond me.

    Sort this stuff out @Demonland

    I don't have a witty comeback for that.

    Most enjoyable Captain’s Run ever.

    The question I have, in this day and age of heightened metrics and training methodologies, is the Captain's run just a tradition or does it serve a purpose?

    Go for it,  but be careful,  do not want a heart attack on the keyboard.  Blood goes everywhere.

    I think we all need a cup of tea. A bex and a good lie down,  

    get ready for the football tonight and a win against the baggers. About 3 goals I think.

    Daz, I think if you were being told you’ve done a [censored] job, you’d take that personally - particularly if you had prefaced your comments by saying it won’t be an insightful report. It’s no wonder posters doing training reports are a dying breed around here.

    Why don’t you just comment on the footy Dazzle, you’ve got some worthwhile input there. Or were you trying to be funny?

    And yes, I understand the irony of this post.

    I never said to anyone they did a [censored] job at reporting training.

    I actually asked a footy related question if you go back to my post which was, were there any noticeable changes regarding player changes and that's it.

    I understand why people get frustrated because some do come in here purely for the footy content and have to scroll past the other stuff. 

    I agree that people saying it's [censored] reporting is not acceptable, what I don't agree with is that very person getting personal with the name calling. It isn't a once off and she has a history of it when someone has disagreed with her in the slightest and yet continues to get away because the mods thinks its all a good joke.

    Don't play dumb.

    You and I know it was clearly directed at me and Moonshadow. How you dragged me into this based off a clapping reaction is absolutely beyond me.

    Cut the personal [censored] out and grow up, if people are [censored] bagging training threads then simply put them on ignore.

    It's a big day, let's get back to the footy talk.

    Thanks to all those who attended training.

    I'm gonna do my usual trick tonight of sneaking into the oppo reserved seating and cause a bit of commotion

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.
