Researchers have tracked down the primary school reports of current GWS players. 

Some examples of their teachers' comments are listed below.

It's fortunate for these kids that they grew up to be good at football.

 

Toby Greene - "Toby has set himself an extremely low standard, which he has failed to maintain"

Sam Taylor - "The improvement in his handwriting has revealed his inability to spell"

Harry Himmelberg - "This child has been working with glue too often"

Lachie Whitfield - "Shows a unique ability to turn any maths problem into a story about dinosaurs"

Brent Daniels - "Expert at locating lost pencils, except when they're in his hand"

Jesse Hogan - "His spirited debates with the classroom clock about time are quite philosophical"

Tom Green  - "Since my last report, Tom has hit rock bottom and started to dig"

Connor Idun - "This student has delusions of adequacy"

Callan Ward - "Callan excels at turning oxygen into carbon dioxide"

Finn Callaghan - "He should go far and, the sooner he starts, the better"

Lachie Ash - "Lachie would be lazy but for continued absence from class"

Kieren Briggs - "He has given me a new definition of stoicism.  He grins and I bear it"

Aaron Cadman - "This student is depriving a village somewhere of an [censored]"

Jake Riccardi - "Uses a unique form of sign language, particularly when he thinks nobody is watching"

Darcy Jones - "Master of the impromptu show and tell, often featuring items from his pockets"

James Peatling - "Shows a deep commitment to ensuring every classroom plant is well conversed with"

Toby Bedford - "It would seem that Bedford thinks he is running the classroom and not me.  If this attitude persists, one of us will have to leave"

Your fertile brain, @Demonstone? Regardless, thank you for the multichuckle!

I'm curious as to why you chose to reveal this week's opponent's card. Do you feel we are in particular need of straws to clutch?

None of it is my work @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew except the "research" and compiling.

It was intended to be a light-hearted bit of fun.

Dunno about clutching at straws but, should we lose to GWS, I would anticipate much pearl-clutching.

You are not clutching my pearls D.

In the general spirit of this thread...

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
