The usual: I’m here, I’ll take vids, I hope other DL-ers are here, my hands are numb, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera 😃

 
 

weirdly one of the questions i want to know is if Goody  is around? plus how does Sparrow look after that news?

But are your numb hands because Oliver is being traded to Tasmania?

I filmed the seconds coming out and the first part of their training. I’ll post it soon. 

 

Vids to come.

Had awesome chats with Clarrie. And with a few others and it was the best session I’ve ever been to as a result of what I was told.

But the last interaction I had has left me rattled tbh. It was a conversation with one of our seconds players. Not gonna mention his name because it really doesn’t matter since what he said goes for ‘a few of the boys’ to use his words. The convo:


Me: Hey _______!

Him: Hey WCW!

(hugs)  

Me: You’re goin’ great guns!

Him: Says you. You’re my biggest fan (laughs)

Me: Nah, not just me.

Him: OK, besides you, who else? Certainly not Melbourne fans.

Me: Of course Melbourne fans…everyone in the Demon Army for starters

Him: (scowls) Ugh, the Demon Army, what would they know?

Me: (shocked) Why do you say that?

Him: Wait, did you say “the Demon Army”?

Me: (sad) Yes

Him: Oh nah, I love you guys, you guys are effing awesome, we all love the Demon Army….

Him: I thought you said Demonland.

😳

Me: You read Demonland?

Him: Yeah a few of us boys do. I shouldn’t though, they talk a lot of sch!t about me. Some of the stuff we’ve read (shakes his head)

Anyways, the conversation continued mainly with me telling him not to pay any mind to the people who bag him since they’re likely the minority and he’s got the love and support of the majority of Dees fans, etc.

So yeah, now we know for sure that some of our boys read our posts. Not oppo boys, OUR BOYS.

Goody wasn’t there. He’s quite unwell but improving.

Hardly surprising. No player likes to read that they are playing poorly.

If it was just reading that they’re playing poorly I’m sure they wouldn’t be so affected. It’s the straight up bagging. This isn’t me lecturing people on it, this is directly from someone who is offended. These are kids ffs. 

Not the first time a player has mentioned reading Dland, and tbh I reckon it would be hard for them not to, but they also have to accept that this place, especially in a game day thread or just after a loss is pure emotion.

And like any one in any public arena they will not have 100% support and love, I mean people still bag players who may not have had a good game in the GF.

We are humans, doing human things... and lets face it, we are not the best of species 😁

Well done WCW thanks for braving the elements and getting back to us. I know some of the players who are all away of Demonland but the club recommends they don't due to the unsolicited vitriol.

@WalkingCivilWar would you kindly mention how Max trained this morning, assuming he trained on site?

He trained very well. Moved beautifully. No sign of any lingering issue with his foot/shin. Was in incredibly high spirits, as was everyone, well, nearly everyone. I made sure to film lots of Max action and will post the vids when I’m back home and my phone will have more than 12% 😭

Welcome to the world of elite sports. These kids are making what - $200,000  a year+

Footy forums are full of frustrated supporters some of whom vent and/or overstep the mark on criticism at times. 

It can be tough on players but that’s just how it is so they need to learn to deal with it or find something else to do.

You can tell a kid til you’re blue in the face to not read certain stuff online and it’s futile.

Sorry WCW, I'm a bit confused. How did this player mishear Demon Army as Demonland? Army and Land sound nothing alike...

It would be tough being a player in the modern age.

Seen plenty of players of various sports disable comments and even delete their social media accounts due to abuse.

It's not just hearing nonsense over the fence these days, there is no escaping it when it's in your pocket. 

If any player reads this - i am your fan, give 'em hell on the weekend.

 


You got this Melbourne, let's go boys!!!

Hey Riv, you probably get this a lot, but my daughter thinks you're hot.

You’d have to ask him. He’s the one who misheard it. I do talk fast and a lot so maybe that’s why. 🤷‍♀️

What are you suggesting?

No one said they sound alike. The player probably heard Demon Army and computed Demonland. 

 

Big difference between getting stuck into a player based on their form, or something they did badly in a game.

Totally different story to call players useless, weak, gutless, a cultural cancer etc etc 

We all are guilty of getting emotional about the club, myself included, and I am no saint, but some of the utter [censored] that gets written about our players not just here but everywhere online, is downright embarrassing. 

Just look at the post Melbourne made about Petty's re-signing. Some of the comments made about him were awful.

I always try to think to myself if this player was my child, or my husband, would I be ok to read what I write about them?

I take it Clayton told you Sam McLure is muckraking POS who's latest trade rumour is complete garbage?

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
